The Oprah Winfrey Show again, but at least we can see the iconic media mogul during Blue Willow Bookshopâs virtual event on May 3.Â
Blue Willow is partnering with publisher Flatiron Books and Portland s Powell s Books to bring Winfrey and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry, M.D., Ph.D. virtually to Houston for a discussion of the pairâs new book,
What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing.
During the talk, Perry and Winfrey will discuss how past trauma and childhood adversity impacts our behavior and decisions, even as adults.Â
âThrough this lens we can build a renewed sense of personal self-worth and ultimately recalibrate our responses to circumstances, situations, and relationship,â Winfrey said in a release. âIt is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very lives.â

Panels tackle topics of heated discussion both in Austin and across the U.S., including innovative methods for expanding broadband internet access, practical advice for creating an anti-racist classroom, and critically assessing the Hollywood ideal of college – a romanticized version of higher ed that fails to reflect today s growing majority of working or financially dependent college students.
