"I Have Been Wondering" is a limited series hosted by author and public speaker Danny Ramadan. Each month, Ramadan invites an author who identifies within the LGBTQ2+ community, and/or a racially marginalized community, to read for 15 minutes, then share a 30 minutes conversation, ending with a 15 minutes question period.

The event will be ticketed and will be hosted on a Zoom Webinar. At the end of the season, all six readings will be available for free on Ramadan's YouTube's channel. A No questions asked policy on providing free tickets to those asking for them will also be instituted.

Proud to be hosting award winning author Larissa Lai on February 2021's edition on Thursday January 4th, at 6pm Vancouver time.

Poet, critic and novelist Larissa Lai has written seven books: Sybil Unrest (with Rita Wong); Automaton Biographies; Iron Goddess of Mercy; Slanting I, Imagining We; When Fox Is a Thousand; Salt Fish Girl and The Tiger Flu. Involved in cultural organizing, experimental poetry and speculative fiction communities since the late 1980s, she has received the Jim Duggins Mid-Career Novelist's Prize, the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction, the Astraea Foundation Emerging Writers' Award, and --twice-- the Otherwise Honor Book. She holds a Canada Research Chair at the University of Calgary, where she directs The Insurgent Architects' House for Creative Writing.

Online Anti-harrasement policy:

That attendees will refrain from harassment of any sort including (but not limited to): visuals, language, comments, or questions of a racist, homophobic, sexist/sexual, or threatening nature. This includes actions that disrupt or interfere in any way with other attendees’ ability to participate. We do not tolerate harassment of any kind and will immediately disconnect offenders from the event.

While this event is hosted online, Danny Ramadan will be live from his home on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. As a newcomer and an univited guest on this land, I am thankful for the generousity and love I have personally received from folks identifying within the First Nations here, and across Canada. I also acknowledge the continued role of colonalization in the opression of the First Nations People, as well as other merginalized identities.
