Godmothers Gather: Morgan Hutchinson

Falling in love during a manic episode, reaching rock bottom, and learning how to rescue herself. Morgan Hutchinson, founder of the fashion brand Buru, joins us to share “Bipolar Blonde: A Dark and Delightful Story of Suicide, Soulmates, and Starting Again,” which pulls back the curtain on the polished life she's built to share the unfiltered truth beneath it: a raw, redemptive memoir of living with bipolar disorder, surviving the dizzying heights of mania, and crawling back from rock bottom. At its heart is a love story that unfolds across a glittering window of time out and about in New York—where romance and mania blur into something intoxicating before the lights go dark. With the same candor and warmth that turned Buru into a community, Morgan traces her descent into suicidal darkness and the hard-won work of rescuing herself, offering readers not a tidy recovery arc but an honest companion for the parts of mental illness we're still afraid to say out loud. “Bipolar Blonde” is for anyone who's ever smiled through the storm—and a clarion call to finally talk about mental health with openness, honesty, and humor. - - - - - Please note: Out of respect for our authors and other guests—and to ensure everyone's safety—the front door will be locked 15 minutes after the event starts. - - - - - This is a ticketed event.
