Selalelo- MORE Lunch and Learn Book Discussion

March 19th, 2024

Over the years, the Movement in Omaha for Racial Equity (MORE) has hosted book discussions featuring various authors. During March, which is Women's History Month, we are hosting a book discussion with author Ms. Gothataone Moeng. Her book is Call and Response: Stories. This book is a collection of short stories about family life in Botswana. We invite participants to read the book and become part of an online discussion with the author. We will start with an interview with Ms. Moeng about specific content in the book. After that, we will open it up for Facebook Live and Zoom participants to ask questions directly.

As someone who spent a couple of years in Botswana as a former Peace Corps Volunteer, many of the stories, cultural events, and incidents resonate with me and offer information about the changes in the lives of many Batswana.

The book gives the reader a rich insight into the nuances of Botswana's culture. Through this interaction, we will explore the differences and similarities related to social equity.

We hope you can join us on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, at Noon (CST-USA) for this lunch and learn cultural experiences. In Southern Africa, it will be 8 p.m.

For more information, contact A’Jamal Byndon, Moderator of this Selalelo-MORE Lunch and Learn event. It will be a Zoom and Facebook Live event. We expect that other residents of Southern African counties will join us in this rich, culturally enhancing discussion. We have registration on Moreomaha.org. Webpage.

Copies of the book can be purchased on Amazon, Penguin Publishing Group, or your contacts for books.

This event is co-sponsored by Humanities Nebraska and the Weitz Family Foundation.
