I Don't Want To Talk About It: A Journalist's Essays on Autism, Dementia, Religion and God

Join award winning journalist and author Raphael James for a compelling conversation inspired by his poignant memoir, which chronicles his family's remarkable journey through the realities of autism and dementia while wrestling with questions of faith, purpose, and God.

Through deeply personal storytelling and thoughtful reflection, James shares the triumphs, heartbreaks, and unexpected moments of grace that emerged as his family navigated caregiving, disability, memory loss, and resilience. His story invites audiences to engage topics that are often difficult to discuss with honesty, compassion, and hope.

This program offers an opportunity to explore the power of vulnerability, the strength of family, and the role of faith in sustaining us through life's most challenging seasons. 

Light refreshments will be served afterwards...
