In their early twenties, Mimi Zhu was a survivor of intimate-partner abuse, which left them broken and in search of healing paths to re-learn love. Mimi began writing a collection of powerful, interconnected essays and affirmations that followed their journey toward embodying and re-learning love after their violent romantic relationship. The result is a stunning and provocative book, Be Not Afraid of Love, which like all of Mimi's work is a testament to the strength and adaptability humans possess and a tribute to love.
Mimi's work explores the many intersections of love and fear, their effects on self-esteem, friendship, family, romantic relationships, and even how they show up in the socio-political realm. In sharing their own intimate encounters with oppression, healing, joy, and community, Mimi invites us all to reflect deeply on our own experiences with love, with the intention of acting as a guide to undoing the hurt or uncertainty within them.
Join Mimi for an empowering conversation on life, art, and what it means to not to be afraid of love.
