Microagressions - subtle intentional and unintentional acts such as comments or gestures rooted in implicit or explicit racism, sexism, homophobia or more.
The ways these small acts add up for minority communities and individuals is the topic of this roundtable dialogue as part of this edition of DC Reads. Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversation is a wry and intimate glimpse into Mira Jacob's life as Indian-American woman of color and her navigation of the slights and insults that permeate American society.
Inspired by Good Talk, Philip Espe (DC Public Library) will lead a discussion with Lupita Aquino (Lupita Reads), poet Regie Cabico (Capturing Fire) and Ashleigh Coran (Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery) about how these experiences shape our lives and ways to address them as they're happening.
We want you to join our conversation live! Be a part of the conversation by commenting during our live-streamed conversation on YouTube Live or Facebook Live.
Begin your reading of Good Talk by joining our discussion with the author on Sunday, Nov. 15. Learn more about DC Reads here.
A high-sodium diet is deadly. And yet, about 90% of Americans 2 years old or older consume too much sodium. From packaged foods, fast foods, and especially meals at table-service restaurants - salt is everywhere in our diets. Uncontrolled sodium consumption is linked to as many as 100,000 deaths in the United States and billions of dollars in avoidable health-care costs each year.
Why hasn't salt received the sort of public attention and regulatory action that sugar and fat have? Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D.,answers this question in his latest book "Salt Wars: The Battle Over the Biggest Killer in the American Diet." Jacobson is the Co-Founder and Senior Scientist at the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
On Tuesday, November 24, 5:30 pm, join our virtual author's talk with Michael F. Jacobson, as he explains how the American food industry and a small group of scientists have successfully fought government efforts to reduce dangerous levels of sodium in our food.

The Washington Area Bicyclist Association and DC Public Library join in a conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Elizabeth McGowan, about her new book, Outpedaling the Big C: My Healing Cycle Across America. During this program, Elizabeth will share stories of her mental, emotional and physical journeys; the process of publishing her first book; and how public libraries fit into the picture. We'll also talk about cycling advocacy, safety, and infrastructure as relates to long-distance trips and share some of our favorite books about bicycling for you to cozy up with this winter. This event will be broadcast on Facebook Live and Youtube Live. Elizabeth McGowan is a DC-based, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, working as a freelance reporter on issues surrounding energy and the environment. As a staff writer for Inside Climate News, her groundbreaking dispatches from Kalamzoo, Michigan, The Dilbit Disaster: Inside the Biggest Oil Spill You Never Heard Of, won a Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting, along with her co-authors Lisa Song and David Hasemyer. Born in Philadelphia, PA, Elizabeth earned her Bachelor of Journalism at the Missouri School of Journalism in 1983. After her battle with melanoma in the late 1980’s, she decided to hike the Appalachian trail - where she met her husband, Don Looney. In 2000, to celebrate 5 years of being cancer-free, she completed a cross-country bicycle journey from Astoria, OR to the Atlantic, along the 4,250 mile TransAmerica Trail. Outpedaling the Big C, her first solo book, was published in Sept. 2020.
