In-Person Appearances

During this year, I will be appearing at the following venues to talk about my new book, Strong Roots. Please do come along if you can.

Sunday 8th March - Monday 9th March, 2026 - Parebere Forum, Barcelona.

Olia will be keynote speaker. The theme for this year is "Roots and Roads". While "roots" refers to origins, heritage, and a deep sense of belonging, "roads" signifies pathways, travel and connection between cultures and the journey of life itself. We will be discussing forced displacement, migrations, indigenous women's rights and hunger as a weapon of war. Further details here.
