Speaking
Four talks for universities, libraries, civic organizations, and community audiences—grounded in lived experience, public work, and Atta's books.
Each talk is about what it takes to remember, rebuild, and remain responsible. Below each one you will find what an audience takes away, who it fits, the formats it works in, and the public recordings you can watch before deciding.
Every topic can be shaped as a keynote, a lecture, a moderated conversation, a book discussion, a panel, or a workshop where the subject supports it.
