Author Gail Straub will read from her new memoir - Home Inside the Globe, Embracing our Human Family.

In a world run amuck with seemingly irreparable differences and conflicts, Gail Straub’s memoir offers an antidote. As a seeker on pilgrimage across the Sahara with indigenous Tuaregs, trekking off the beaten trail high in the Himalayas, the intrepid Straub seeks out all that is different so that she can become whole. As an activist, Gail becomes immersed in Gorbachev-era Russia and Deng Xiaoping-era China. She empowers sex-workers in India and Syrian refugees in Jordan. Here out beyond man-made political borders, she finds a boundless realm where we connect as human beings transcending nationality, skin color, gender, socio-economic status, and religion. Home Inside the Globe is an invitation to awaken as individuals so that we can fully participate in creating a better world for all people.

Gail Straub is the author of eight award-winning books. As the co-founder of the Empowerment Institute, she is a leading authority on women’s empowerment where her work to help women heal from violence and lead productive lives has impacted several million people throughout Africa, India, and the Middle East. gailstraub.com
