Experts in the Library welcomes renowned speaker, physician and author Dr. Samra Zafar on March 22

Delve into the power of resilience and harnessing meditation, visualization, and unlearning of the harmful beliefs we store deep within ourselves at the Orangeville Public Library’s Experts in the Library event this month.

In recognition of International Women’s Day, Dr. Samra Zafar will join library CEO Darla Fraser to discuss her new book, Unconditional: Break Through Past Limits to Transform Your Future. Published by Harper Collins, the book explores breaking free from old conditioning and embracing self-acceptance.

The event will be held on March 22 at the Mill Street Library at 2 p.m.

Dr. Zafar will share her journey from an abusive marriage to building an independent life, emphasizing the skills that helped take her there and the challenge of digging out from past trauma to embrace who you truly want to be.

The impact of Dr. Zafar’s work goes beyond her successes as an author. She is the founder and executive director of Brave Beginnings, a national charity that provides mentorship to women who have escaped abuse.

Her work, which includes achieving the status of national bestseller with her memoir, A Good Wife: Escaping the Life I Never Chose, has been featured in national and international media, including four TEDx Talks. She has been recognized among the Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada, the Top 25 Most Inspirational Women in Canada, and the Top 25 Canadian Immigrants.

Registration for this event is required. Refreshments and a book signing will follow the presentation. Learn more about Dr. Zafar's work on her website at samrazafar.com.
