Register here for this special event.

Thrust onto the world stage at 15 years old, after the Taliban almost took her life, Malala Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted, and more, Malala reminds us that real role models aren’t perfect—they’re human.

Register now for what is sure to an extraordinary talk.
