RUMANA MONZUR

Bestselling author, Denise Chong, whose newest book, Out of Darkness: Rumana Monzur's Journey through Betrayal, Tyranny and Abuse, details Rumana Monzur's inspiring story of perseverance, hope, and overcoming.
 
This special event centers Denise and Rumana for a thoughtful conversation about Rumana's personal journey from Bangladesh to Vancouver, the UBC community that supported her escape from domestic abuse, and the global effort to expose and combat intimate-partner violence
 
If you haven't met Rumana, she is a truly inspirational person to talk to/listen to. Her resilience and positivity is absolutely awe inspiring. This event will be well worth your time to attend.

Last Meeting April 09, 2024

No formal meeting but rather a fun social at The Forge, an Irish pub in the heart of Gastown. From all accounts of the 30+ people who attended it was a great evening. Thank you to the IRL Group (club members William & Laura Donnellan & Aaron Lacey) who facilitated hosting the event with the use of one of their venues.
