Ends:
Wednesday, 01 May 2024
Jelena Dokic will be in conversation with Kathryn Favelle, Director of Reader Services at the National Library of Australia. Book signing in the Foyer to follow.
Entry is free to this event but bookings are essential.
The talk will be available to view live online via the Library's Facebook and YouTube pages. You do not need to book a ticket to watch the event online.
'Fearless', Jelena’s second book, shares the impact her formative years have had on her, and her refusal to be defined by her trauma – she is determined to grow, be stronger and wiser because of it, and wants to help others who may also be suffering. Not only did she escape a war, lived as a refugee — twice — was subject to bullying, and suffer immense abuse at the hands of her father, she did so while training to be a tennis champion. Jelena suffered in silence for years, and it wasn’t until 'Unbreakable' was released that she was able to unburden her secrets.
'Fearless' is about reclaiming life and the power of sharing our stories. The past years have taught Jelena Dokic many tough and important lessons, and now she is ready to share them to help others find their voice and the power to thrive.
