You Deserve to Rest: A Book Reading & Conversation with Israa Nasir

📍 Libélula Books & Co. | 🗓 March 6th, 6:30 PM

For so many of us—eldest daughters, caregivers, immigrants, activists, and those carrying the weight of community—rest has never felt like an option. We’ve been taught to equate our worth with our work, to push through exhaustion, to care for everyone but ourselves. But what if rest wasn’t a privilege? What if it was necessary for sustaining the work we believe in?

Join us for an intimate evening with Israa Nasir, psychotherapist and author of Toxic Productivity: Reclaim Your Time and Energy in a World That Always Demands More. Through a reading, conversation, and book signing, we’ll unpack the deep-rooted beliefs that keep us in cycles of burnout—and explore what it means to care for ourselves without guilt.

💡 Who is this for?
This event is for the changemakers, the first-generation dreamers, the community builders, and those who’ve spent years carrying too much. It’s for the ones who wonder, “What does rest even look like for me?”

📚 What to Expect:
✨ A reading from Toxic Productivity
✨ A Q&A about breaking free from overwork and exhaustion
✨ A book signing + time to connect with the community
✨ Drinks & snacks available for donation
