Beyond Borders  is a chance to connect to narratives and perspectives from other places and represents a link in the chain of what connects us all around the world, despite the differences in our lives and societies.

Join Sarah Clancy and Zainab Boladale for the third in this series of Book Club events. Zainab will talk about The Girl With The Louding Voice by Abi Daré, a teenage girl grows up in a rural Nigerian village and longs to get an education so that she can find her “louding voice” and speak up for herself.

ZAINAB BOLADALE is a journalist, TV presenter and public speaker. She was born in Nigeria and raised in Ireland. In 2017, she made her TV debut on RTE’s children’s programme, news2day, as the first Afro-Irish woman on Irish TV news. On news2day, she presented stories from around the world to the young people of Ireland. Zainab now travels around the country as a presenter and reporter for Ireland’s long-running factual feature programme, Nationwide. Zainab has also written and directed a first short film, Worthy, which debuted on the film festival circuit in 2023. In 2024, she released her first Y.A book ‘BRAIDS TAKE A DAY’, published by O’Brien Press.

This event is free to attend. No booking required.
