Join author, facilitator, and CSA survivor Alisa Zipursky for a thought-provoking craft talk and discussion on October 26, 2023, from 3:30-4:45 p.m. at Carlow University's Aquinas Hall, Room 209 in Pittsburgh, PA. This event, presented by Carlow University's Madwomen in the Attic and Project SAFE programs, is free and open to the Carlow community and the Madwomen in the Attic. 

Alisa will delve into the challenges faced by writers when tackling topics of sexual violence and trauma, specifically intimate partner violence, sexual assault, abuse, and harassment. She will guide attendees on how to authentically write about their experiences without causing further harm, whether to themselves or their readers. Additionally, she will explore the process of fictionalizing these experiences while maintaining sensitivity and respect. Alisa will also shed light on the legal and professional implications of writing about those who have caused harm.

Alisa Zipursky, a survivor advocate of childhood sexual abuse, is the author of Healing Honestly: The Messy and Magnificent Path to Overcoming Self-Blame and Self-Shame (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2023). Her book has received acclaim for its candid, funny, and compassionate approach to healing from sexual violence. As the founder of HealingHonestly.com, Alisa shares her journey as a millennial woman healing from abuse, establishing a community of over 500,000 fellow survivors worldwide. Beyond writing, she offers coaching programs and travels to college campuses and conferences, providing support to survivors and their allies. Alisa's work has been featured in Teen Vogue, Allure, and Hey Alma.

A majestic tower in Pittsburgh that defines the city. It stands tall and magnificent in its glory.

In fact, it has nothing to do with the church, or can only say that his appearance is like an old European cathedral, here is a teaching building, but very grand and beautiful, the interior can be seen.

Stunning grounds and an incredible selection to view. Easily one of my favourite places to visit in Pittsburgh. The gift shop offers a lot, and the food and drinks selection in the cafe were great, even with special dietary requirements.
