 n<hr />\n<p><em>About the authors:</em></p>\n<p><strong>Suleika Jaouad</st
 rong>&nbsp\;is an Emmy Award&ndash\;winning writer\, speaker\, cancer surv
 ivor\, and activist. She served on Barack Obama&rsquo\;s President&rsquo\;
 s Cancer Panel\, and her advocacy work\, reporting\, and speaking has been
  featured at the United Nations\, on Capitol Hill\, and on the TED Talk ma
 in stage.</p>\n<p>Her memoir\, <em><strong>Between Two Kingdoms</strong></
 em>\,&nbsp\;is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce\, tender\
 , and inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again. A few weeks s
 hy of her 23rd birthday\, Suleika Jaouad was given a diagnosis of leukemia
 \, with a 35 percent chance of survival. She spent much of the next four y
 ears in a hospital bed\, fighting for her life and chronicling the saga in
  a column for&nbsp\;<em>The New York Times</em>. She spent 1\,500 days in 
 desperate pursuit of one goal&mdash\;to survive. And once she&rsquo\;d don
 e so\, she realized that she had no idea how to live.</p>\n<p>To reenter t
 he world and reclaim what she'd lost\, Jaouad embarked&mdash\;with her new
  best friend\, Oscar\, a scruffy terrier mutt&mdash\;on a 100-day\, 15\,00
 0-mile road trip across the country. She set out to meet some of the stran
 gers who had written to her during her years in the hospital: a teenage gi
 rl in Florida also recovering from cancer\; a teacher in California grievi
 ng the death of her son\; a death-row inmate in Texas who&rsquo\;d spent h
 is own years confined to a room. What she learned on this trip is that the
  divide between sick and well is porous\, that the vast majority of us wil
 l travel back and forth between these realms throughout our lives.<br /><b
 r />Suleika Jaouad will be joined in conversation by <strong>Rachel Cargle
 </strong>\, a Black American author\, speaker\, and activist known for her
  involvement in&nbsp\;anti-racism&nbsp\;work. Cargle founded the&nbsp\;Fou
 ndation\, which works to increase access to therapy for Black women and gi
 rls. During the Early 21st-century civil rights movement\, Cargle's&nbsp\;
 Instagram&nbsp\;account grew from 355\,000 to 1.7 million followers.</p>\n
