About the event
Step into a raw and resonant discussion with actress, dancer, and mental health advocate Alyson Stoner for this special evening celebrating their debut memoir, Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything.

Bold and unflinching, Stoner maps her unconventional journey to deliver a powerful cultural critique on the entertainment ecosystem and society’s enchantment with fame, offering a guide on how to break the bonds of generational trauma and find the freedom that comes from trusting your own voice.
