SPEAK presents best-selling author and journalist Mónica Guzmán, virtually hosted by Live Oak School from 7:00 p.m. - 8:15 p.m. on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.

Explore how you can strengthen family connections through curiosity during tough conversations. Monica Guzmán’s latest book, I Never Thought of it That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times, has been featured in The New York Times, The Glenn Beck Podcast, and Reader's Digest, and was named one of the 10 best books to read before college by U.S. News. At a time of uncertainty and divide, Mónica utilises the most eye-opening tool we're not using to bridge divides: our own built-in curiosity.
