 individuals turn into human books for the evening. And over 30-minute sessions, the ‘books’ spoke about their experience to a small knit group of listeners who then could ask questions and have a conversation.

The nine books chose diverse topics that ranged from religion, politics, gender, sexuality, race and trauma among others. The human books were ‘South Asian’, ‘Black’, ‘Trauma’, ‘Recovery’, ‘From Velvet Revolution’ to ‘Becoming a Baha’i’, ‘Tall Since 1978’, ‘Polyamory’, ‘Bisexual’ and ‘From Catholic Nun to Ishaya Monk’.

“I love books and I love being able to help people break down boundaries and connect,” said Avya Ishaya, who was one of the human books at the event.

“Life is meant to be meaningful and to be an adventure,” said Ishaya, who told the story of how she went from being a Catholic nun to a monk while living in St. Louis, Missouri where she grew up. Organizers of the event from Skeena Diversity Society, Ana Silva and Saša Loggin, said they thought bringing the movement to Terrace, because their non-profit works with people who face discrimination and racism, would be helpful in creating awareness and breaking prejudices
