COD Presents – An Evening with Stephanie Land
A New York Times bestselling author and activist, Stephanie Land’s debut memoir, “Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive,” recounts her harrowing saga as a single mom navigating the poverty trap after fleeing a violent home. Her unflinching testimony exposes the physical, economic and social brutality that domestic workers face, all while radiating a parent’s hope and dedication. “Maid” was named as a Notable Book of the Year by The New York Times and The Washington Post, among others, and was listed among President Obama’s summer reading list for 2019.
Bridge Communities CEO Amy Von Polen will moderate a Q&A discussion after the keynote address.
Each ticket holder will receive a copy of “Maid” and Land will sign copies following the lecture. “Maid,” serves as the inspiration for Netflix’s Golden Globe and Emmy Award-nominated original series of the same title. In its first month, the critically-acclaimed show became one of Netflix’s most-watched series ever, with over 469 million hours viewed and reaching more than 67 million households.
