Another book release party at Hue-Man Bookstore today! This time, well-timed with Fashion Week, the event features supermodel Alek Wek, who’s promoting her new memoir, Alek.
Here’s the book description: Born in Wau, in the southern Sudan, Alek knew only a few years of peace with her family before they were caught up in a ruthless civil war that pitted outlaw militias, the Muslim-dominated government, and southern rebels against each other in a brutal conflict that killed nearly two million people. Here is her daring story of fleeing the war on foot and her escape to London, where her rise from young model to supermodel was all the more notable because of Alek’s non-European looks.
Sounds really interesting! Meet her tonight at the book signing at 6:00 p.m.
Friday, September 7
6:00 p.m.
