Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai will present her new memoir Finding My Way on 4 December at La Madeleine in Brussels: an intimate and inspiring live conversation about courage, identity and finding your own voice.

Nobel Prize winner, children’s and women’s rights activist and bestselling author Malala Yousafzai invites you to an intimate live conversation full of humour, honesty and vulnerability. In her latest memoir, Finding My Way, she takes you on a journey through the personal story behind her public image, about friendship and first loves, mental health and self-discovery, and about finding your own voice in a world full of expectations.

At just 15 years old, Malala became a global symbol of courage after narrowly surviving an assassination attempt by the Taliban for her commitment to girls’ right to education in Pakistan. Now, years later, she candidly recounts her search for identity, growing up in the spotlight and the process of becoming an adult: from a lonely teenager in secondary school to a student who found her way through trial and error, including nearly failing her exams, ghosting and finding the love of her life.

Malala reclaims her own story in an evening that shows that real role models are not perfect, but human. Finding My Way is an honest and inspiring look at the life of a young woman who chooses her own path and a powerful plea to dare to be yourself.

‘My new book is the most personal thing I’ve ever written,’ said Malala, ‘and I can’t wait to share it with readers on this tour. This is my coming-of-age story — friendship and first love, anxiety and indecision, wild nights and foggy mornings. Through this book tour, my story can move from the page into genuine conversation and connection. I’m looking forward to making every stop special for readers.’

Malala Yousafzai was born in Mingora, Pakistan in 1997 and graduated from the University of Oxford in 2020. She is the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, founder of Extracurricular Productions and author of three bestsellers.
