SUMMARY:Silenced Whispers with Afarin Bellisario [POSTPONED]
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE – THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. A NEW DATE WILL BE POSTED WHEN AVAILABLE.  \nPortland Public Library is proud to host Afarin Bellisario for an author talk wherein she will be discussing her debut novel\, Silenced Whispers. Silenced Whispers is a historical fiction that highlights the internal and external pressures on young woman in Iran in the face of patriarchy and colonialism at the turn of the 20th century. In addition to discussing her book\, Afarin will also be exploring the historical backdrop of her novel — providing insight into the Russo-British imperialism whose legacies still impact today’s Iran. \nAfarin Bellisario is a global leader in the world of tech and innovation\, holding both a Doctorate in Engineering and a Master’s in Business from MIT where she continues to serve as a mentor. Her experience on the cutting edge of technology and its intersection with the world of business has provided her with a unique perspective on the impact of emerging tech on society. It is this fascination\, in addition to a long-nurtured love of writing\, which drove her to explore this give and take through a historical lens in Silenced Whispers\, focusing on the city of her youth\, Tehran.
