du Plessis

Hanna was invited to participate in the annual Woordfees arts festival in South Africa. She wrote seven short personal essays describing moments in her journey toward racial healing. Read by Erica Wessels (who voiced the audiobook of "Bedsores and Bliss) and illustrated by Marc Rettig, the result is a 35-minute film of deep beauty and reflection. Group viewing on Zoom: Saturday November 15, 1:00pm US Eastern, 8:00pm South Africa. See the flyer in this post for the Zoom link.

See the livestream video of Hanna's "Living End of Life Celebration!" It was a profound, joyful and tearful day as SO many people came together to celebrate Hanna's life and voice, and to practice holding grief in community.

This chapbook holds a curated collection of Hanna\\\\\\\'s writing from her experience living with a diagnosis of ALS. A rare glimpse of the details of life with a fading body and fierce determination to life fully. Brave and funny.

A powerful fable from Hanna du Plessis, with her charming illustrations, challenges us to consider the roots of our tendency to "do good" through the methods of control. Currently in development, we aim to make this book available in 2024.

Our first featured voice is Hanna du Plessis, whose impact on people, communities, and the practice of social change is immeasurable.
