Ziauddin Yousafzai, father of Nobel Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, educational activist and United Nations Special Advisor on Global Education, reads from his new book.

Join us for an afternoon of music, an author reading and conversation.

Let Her Fly traces the inspirational journey of Malala Yousafzai’s father, Ziauddin, from a boy in Shangla to a man who broke with tradition and proves there are many faces of feminism. Let Her Fly will resonate with anyone who has ever cared for a child, as Ziauddin Yousafzai shares what he’s learned from his children, and what he hopes to teach the world.
