The phrase can you hear me now? has become ubiquitous in the age of digital meetings, but also speaks to global movements for change that call for marginalized voices to be represented, celebrated and heard. TIFA is proud to present a new collection of writing that responds to this phrase, penned by some of the world’s most distinct voices. Tune in daily to hear authors read their newly commissioned work.

The first reading of the series features Cree author Clayton Thomas-Müller. From his electrifying memoir, Life in the City of Dirty Water, to his activism for Indigenous rights and environmental justice, Thomas-Müller’s perspective and voice is one you will not want to miss.
