A virtual event. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, bestselling author and education activist, discusses her memoir "Finding My Way."
You are invited to be one of the first to hear from Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, bestselling author and education activist, about her memoir, Finding My Way, in this virtual event.
Thrust onto the public stage at 15 after the Taliban’s brutal attack on her life, Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. In her memoir, she shares how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her narrative—while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is.
Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted, and meeting the love of her life, Malala reminds us that real role models aren’t perfect—they’re human.
Finding My Way is a vulnerable, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humor, and tenderness. It is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny and is a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.
