You're invited to attend an author talk and book signing with local author Ananda Leeke. She'll be talking about her third book, Digital Sisterhood: A Memoir of Fierce Living Online this Saturday afternoon at the Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery located at Smith Center for Healing and the Arts on U Street. On a personal note, I have known Ananda for a few years now and it is great to see her book completed. If you can make it out to hear her speak, I imagine that you will be delighted by her as well. While there, be sure to check out the portrait of Ananda by NY-based artist Tim Okamura on view now!

About the Book: In this memoir, Leeke details her journey, sharing experiences and insights helped her and her digital sisters use the Internet as a self-discovery tool and identifying leadership archetypes that shaped her role as a social media leader. The book shares how, over time, through interactions and conversations both online and in-person, Leeke developed the concept of “digital sisterhood.” Her blogging and social media adventures highlight the lessons she learned in the process, the reasons she launched the Digital Sisterhood Network, and the experiences that caused her to adopt what she terms the “fierce living” commitments. The book will be available for sale for $23.95 during the book signing. It is also available on Amazon.com for purchase.
