We invite you to dig deeper into GRAN issues through these upcoming webinars and online events.
- Wednesday, May 5, 12:00 p.m. ET -- First in a series of webinars featuring acclaimed sub-Saharan writers. The series aims to amplify African
voices and to educate by introducing stories deeply rooted in Africa written by Africans. For the launch of this series, CBC radio host Ismaila Alfa will welcome Cheluchi Onyemelukwe-Onuobia for the release in Canada of her debut novel, The Son of the House. The novel is set against four decades of life in Nigeria, celebrating the resilience of women as they navigate and transform what still remains a man’s world.

Our guest speakers will include MP Elizabeth May and environmental activists in Namibia. Registration details coming soon.
