A Conversation with Author Putsata Reang

We are beyond thrilled to invite you to a conversation with Putsata Reang, whose voice has resonated across continents, from the bustling streets of Cambodia to the serene landscapes of Oregon.

In her latest masterpiece, Ma and Me, Putsata navigates the intense waves of familial bonds, the courage it takes to face one’s true self, and the poignant journey of coming out. This book, a beacon of hope and understanding, has not only won the Pacific Northwest Book Award but has also been acknowledged by the Lambda Literary Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for its profound impact. Putsata’s work is a testament to the struggles and victories of the LGBTQ+ community, making her insights invaluable, especially for those of us walking the path of self-discovery and acceptance.

Refreshments Provided!
