Places to find Naseem talking about The Bruising of Qilwa, virtually and in-person
(free and open to the public unless otherwise specified in the link)
Much of my time right now is spent focusing locally in Washoe County. Specifically, as a founding member of the Freedom to Read Nevada team, I'm working to get WC-1 passed, a ballot measure that will keep the Washoe County Public Libraries funded for another 30 years. You can find me at most FtR-NV events.
As one of the co-leads of the Heretics' Workshops, you can also find me at the Radical Cat in Midtown every week!
