About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Through the medium of food and dining in her renowned Moroccan Soup Bar, Hana has worked tirelessly to rectify the systemic and social barriers to women’s empowerment.

Hana’s memoir follows her childhood between Lebanon and Australia, her marriage, her attempts to leave, and her ensuing career in women’s services. In 1998, she opened the Moroccan Soup Bar, which would quickly become an iconic Melbourne institution—founded on the radical notion that marginalised women, together in the kitchen, can effect social change.

‘A powerful call to action … Hana’s story of survival is a testament to resilience, the strength of women and our collective solidarity—when we stand together, we are unstoppable.’

Join Hana in conversation with author and tireless advocate for women’s empowerment, Carol Omer, as they discuss empowerment, inspiration, progress and Hana’s mission to shape a world where all of us can truly flourish and thrive. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of a memorable evening and Hana’s only Adelaide book event.

Copies of The Audacity to be Free and The Moroccan Soup Bar will be available to purchase courtesy of Matilda Bookshop.
