The Grace Fisher Foundation (GFF) invites the community to a book launch party for “We Are Resilient,” 1-3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 25, at the Grace Fisher Foundation Inclusive Arts Clubhouse, 120 S. Hope Ave. F118.
The gathering will feature authors Sissy Taran and Tiffany Howard, and chapter authors who will share their stories, connect with the community, and celebrate the power of resilience, inclusion, and lived experience, event organizers said.
Attendees can meet the authors, buy signed copies of the book, and learn more about GFF programs.
“We Are Resilient” is a collection of voices highlighting perseverance, creativity, and strength in the face of adversity, according to the foundation.
Grace Fisher, founder/creative director of the Grace Fisher Foundation, is the book’s cover artist, and is featured in Chapter One, setting the tone for the stories that follow.
Each chapter and interview is accompanied by an interactive worksheet, inviting readers to reflect, engage, and apply the themes of resilience to their own lives.
All proceeds from book sales directly support the Grace Fisher Foundation’s inclusive arts and education programs, which serve individuals of all ages and abilities throughout Santa Barbara County, event organizers said.
“I funded ‘We Are Resilient’ to uplift voices that too often go unheard and to celebrate the strength that comes from lived experience,” said Taran, the project’s co-creator.
“Choosing to donate all book proceeds to the Grace Fisher Foundation was an easy decision; their commitment to inclusion, creativity, and dignity for people of all abilities truly embodies the spirit of this book,” she said.
