The Book Club Symposium by @harpersbazaarnl and @stichtingcpnb, held in the breathtaking Cuypers Library at the @rijksmuseum, reaffirmed why books 📚 and language continue to matter.

As an author, editor and columnist, I’ve always been drawn to the power of words.

Through poetry, literature, music and personal stories, the speakers showed how language influences not only how we interpret the world, but also how we understand one another.

Books have quietly shaped my own life. Feel the Fear… and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers has been my guiding mantra for years. It gave me the courage to write books of my own, embrace opportunities that felt daunting, and trust that growth begins just beyond fear.

Here’s to filling this summer with books, ideas and conversations that matter. 🙌🏽📚

What a night. Thank you: 🙏🏽♥️
