MONDAY BOOK READING - RISA SHIMODA

[Jennifer Sass]

Our DC local boating club – the Canoe Cruisers Assoc – and timed with Asian Pacific Heritage Month, is hosting this book reading on Monday evening. Please join, and share with other that may be interested. Risa is a dear friend, an astounding internationally renowned whitewater kayaker and fierce and effective advocate for protecting our waterways. This is her first book, about the deeply personal story of her Japanese father’s American experience. With covid-triggered anti-Asian racism again on the rise, this book is both profound and timely.

I hope you can join, spread the word, and enjoy!

Please join CCA for a webinar book reading with
Risa Shimoda and Bob Fleshner
