Award-winning community organizer Cristina Jiménez visits Changing Hands Tempe to share her inspiring memoir, discussing her journey from undocumented newcomer to leader in a powerful immigrant youth movement. In conversation with former Senator Raquel Terán. ABOUT THE LIVE EVENT Registration via Eventbrite is required. All tickets are general admission and include one (1) copy of Dreaming of Home . ABOUT THE BOOK A MacArthur "Genius" shares her inspiring story, from undocumented newcomer to leader in a powerful immigrant youth movement. Dreaming of Home is a coming-of-age story for both a young woman finding her true self and a social movement of immigrant youth trailblazers who inspired the world and changed the lives of millions. Cristina Jiménez's family fought to stay afloat as Ecuador fell into a political and economic crisis. When she was thirteen, her family came to the US seeking a better life, landing in an overcrowded one-bedroom apartment in Queens, New York. She lived in fear of deportation and ashamed of being undocumented, but eventually, Cristina discovered she was not alone. She made it into college when students and advocates won a change in the law, allowing undocumented students to access higher education. She was proud to be the first one in her family to go to college, but she felt out of place until she met professors and student activists who opened a new world where she found her calling within a community of social justice organizers. With deep candor and humor, Cristina shows us what it's like to grow up undocumented and the reality that being a "good" immigrant doesn't shield you from systemic racism, danger--or even the confusion of falling in love. She invites us to acknowledge the America that never was and to imagine the America that could be when everyday people come together, build power, and fight for change, even when the world around us seems to be crumbling. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Cristina Jiménez is an award-winning community organizer and a leading voice in movements for social justice. She is Co-Founder and former Executive Director of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the country. A Distinguished Lecturer at the City University of New York, Jimenez received a 2017 MacArthur Fellowship and a spot on the 2018 TIME 100 Most Influential People List. She came to the U.S from Ecuador in 1998 and grew up undocumented in Queens, N.Y. ABOUT THE MODERATOR Raquel Terán was born in Arizona and grew up on the border between the U.S. and Mexico. She is a mom, a wife, and a proud graduate of Arizona State University, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. She has spent her life building power in the Latino community. As a leader in the movement to fight back against racist bills like Arizona's SB 1070 and to oust Sheriff Joe Arpaio for terrorizing communities across Arizona, Raquel was at the forefront demonstrating what our community can accomplish when we work together. It wasn’t long before Raquel traded her megaphone for a microphone: she served in the Arizona State House and Senate, where she fought every day to make it easier to provide for our families by investing in our schools, making our neighborhoods safe, and bringing good jobs back to Arizonans. Then, as the Chair of the Arizona Democratic Party, she brought together a broad coalition to elect a Democratic U.S. Senator, Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State in Arizona for the first time in decades. Now, Raquel leads Aquí Estamos PAC to continue her life’s work of building power and serving her community. Information Source: Changing Hands Bookstore | eventbrite

Maxica Colectivo is a group of Wixarika and contemporary artists sharing creations inspired by nature. Our work seeks to honor the Earth the way our ancestors have, and to share the medicinal art that is part of our culture. The practice of beading with sacred geometry is a way of living an active and transformative meditation, as it establishes a special link between creativity and spirituality. When you work with these geometries and immerse yourself in this practice, you are also working towards a state of inner peace. Beading sacred geometries is not merely a craft but a transformative practice that nourishes the soul, strengthens spiritual connections, and honors ancient wisdom. Luz and Adriana are a mother daughter team seeking to pass on the sacred tradition of beadwork for others to enjoy. Above all, their goal is to foster sense of community and belonging by providing an opportunity for individuals to come together, share knowledge, and celebrate cultural traditions that have been passed down through generations.

All tickets are general admission and include one (1) entry to the event and one (1) entry to the Meet-and-Greet following the presentation. All tickets include one (1) presigned copy of Baking Across America . Meet and greet will follow presentation with a professional photographer. ABOUT THE BOOK Join B. Dylan Hollis, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Baking Yesteryear, on a cross-country culinary journey with 100 uniquely American recipes. From the deserts of the Southwest to the shining Atlantic Coast, the USA is as sweet as it gets. In this tour de food, B. Dylan Hollis takes you on a delicious road trip to taste everything from the coffee-crazed creations of the Pacific Northwest to the larger-than-life sheet cakes of Texas. You'll be hitting the pavement in vintage style as you journey with Dylan through the culture capitals of America to savor the very best bakes the nation has to offer. His retro recipes span the decades from the 1900s to the 2000s and feature famous (and forgotten) desserts from every state. With his signature wry humor, Dylan explores the US and uncovers the history of nostalgic local favorites, including Boston Cream Pie on the cobbled streets of Beantown, Beignets in the sultry heat of jazzy New Orleans, and Date Cream scooped up poolside in Palm Springs. Baking Across America is the highly anticipated successor to Baking Yesteryear and delivers 100 wild, wacky, and wonderful recipes from every star-spangled corner of the good ol' US of A. ABOUT THE AUTHOR B. Dylan Hollis is a social media personality who has tasked himself with baking and tasting unusual recipes from bygone years. Born and raised on the island of Bermuda, he later attended college at the University of Wyoming to further a career as a jazz pianist and arranger. He stumbled into both baking and social media fame at once in 2020, when quarantine boredom led him to film an investigation of an old cookbook he had collected from an estate sale. Hundreds of recipes later, Dylan now entertains millions across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram with his unique style and fast jokes. He is the author of the global bestseller Baking Yesteryear. Dylan lives in Laramie, Wyoming. Information Source: Changing Hands Bookstore | eventbrite

New York Times bestselling author Ashley Poston ( A Novel Love Story , The Seven Year Slip , and The Dead Romantics ) discusses her latest in conversation with USA Today bestselling author Jen DeLuca (the Well Met series). ABOUT THE LIVE EVENT Registration via Eventbrite is required. All tickets are general admission and include one (1) copy of Sounds Like Love . ABOUT THE BOOK A hitmaking songwriter and a bitter musician share a startling and inexplicable connection that they'll do anything to shake, in the next sparkling, magical book from Ashley Poston. Joni Lark has a secret. She's one of the most coveted songwriters in LA, and yet she can't write. There's an emptiness inside her, and nothing seems to fill it. When she returns to her hometown of Vienna Shores, North Carolina, she hopes that the sand, the surf, and the concerts at The Revelry, her family's music venue, will spark inspiration. But when Joni gets there, nothing is how she left it. Her best friend is hiding something, her mother's memories are fading fast, and The Revelry is closing. How can Joni write when her world is leaving her behind? Until she hears it. A melody in her head, lyric-less and half-formed, and an alluring and addictive voice to go with it--belonging, apparently, to a wry musician with an emptiness of his own. Surely, he's a figment of Joni's overworked imagination. Then a very real man shows up in Vienna Shores. He's arrogant and guarded--nothing like the sweet, funny voice in Joni's head--and he has a plan for breaking their inconvenient telepathic connection: finish the song haunting them both and hope they don't risk their hearts--or their secrets--in the process. Because that melody, the one drawing them together . . . what if it's there for a reason? ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ashley Poston is the New York Times bestselling author of A Novel Love Story , The Seven Year Slip , and The Dead Romantics. A native of South Carolina, she lives in a small gray house with her sassy cat and too many books. You can find her on the internet, somewhere, watching cat videos and reading fan fiction. ABOUT THE MODERATOR Jen DeLuca is the USA Today bestselling author of the Well Met series, which was inspired by her time volunteering as a pub wench with her local Renaissance Faire. She loves Publix chicken tender subs, cold brew coffee, and the Oxford comma. Jen lives in the Arizona desert with her husband, their rescue dog, and almost too many cats.
