About the event

✨ Book Reception — THE BRUISES WE CAN’T SEE
(Dansk nedenfor)

I wrote a book. Now I’m throwing it a party.. 💃🏻
Come for the stories, stay for the snacks, and maybe leave with more feelings than you planned.

Come join me as I officially welcome my memoir The Bruises We Can’t See into the world.

🕔 When: Thursday, 23rd October, 17:00–19:00
📍 Where: Ballerup Bibliotek (LAB, 1st floor)
🎤 What: A little reading, a little talking, and a lot of honesty.

EXPECT:
• Stories that might make you laugh, cry, or text your therapist afterwards?
• A sneak peek behind the book, why I wrote it, and the things that didn’t make it into the pages (probably for legal reasons).
• Light snacks & drinks (translation: you might still need dinner after, but you’ll leave emotionally full).
• I’ll be reading selected parts of the book aloud, the words that felt too raw to keep only on the page. And some of the people who appear in the memoir will share their own perspectives, because this story was never mine alone.

This isn’t just a reception, it’s a gathering.
A chance to be reminded that the bruises we all carry (the visible and invisible ones) are part of being human.

💡 Bonus: You can get your copy signed, and pretend you always knew me “before I was famous.”

👉 If you’re planning to buy a book at the reception, just let me know in advance so I can make sure I bring enough. Otherwise, we risk recreating The Hunger Games in the middle of the library… and trust me, no one wants that.

Bring your curiosity, your questions, your friends, and your slightly awkward small-talk skills.
I’ll bring the stories, the coffee, and possibly too much honesty.

Attendance is free, but the feelings might cost you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!! See you!!❤️

********

Jeg har skrevet en bog. Nu holder jeg en fest for den. Kom for historierne, bliv for snacksene.. og gå måske derfra med flere følelser, end du havde regnet med.

Kom og vær med, når jeg officielt byder min memoir The Bruises We Can’t See velkommen til verden.

🕔 Hvornår: Torsdag d. 23 oktober, kl. 17:00–19:00
📍 Hvor: Ballerup Bibliotek (LAB, 1. sal)
🎤 Hvad: En lille oplæsning, en snak og en hel del ærlighed.

FORVENT:
• Fortællinger, der kan få dig til at grine, græde eller skrive til din terapeut bagefter?
• Et kig bag bogen, hvorfor jeg skrev den, og de ting der ikke kom med (sandsynligvis af juridiske årsager).
• Let snacks & drikke (oversat: du får stadig brug for aftensmad bagefter, men du går derfra følelsesmæssigt mæt).
• Jeg vil også læse udvalgte dele af bogen højt, de ord der var for rå til kun at blive på papiret. Og nogle af de mennesker, der optræder i memoiren, vil selv dele deres perspektiver, for den her historie har aldrig kun været min egen.

Det her er ikke bare en reception, det er et fællesskab. En påmindelse om, at de blå mærker vi alle bærer (de synlige og de usynlige) er en del af det at være menneske.

💡 Bonus: Du kan få din bog signeret og bagefter påstå, at du altid kendte mig “før jeg blev berømt.”

👉 Hvis du planlægger at købe en bog til receptionen, må du meget gerne sige til på forhånd, så jeg kan tage nok med. Ellers ender vi med en dansk udgave af Hunger Games midt i biblioteket… og det vil vi nok gerne undgå.

Tag din nysgerrighed, dine spørgsmål, dine venner og dine små-akavede smalltalk-skills med. Jeg tager historierne, kaffen og sandsynligvis lidt for meget ærlighed med.

Det er gratis at deltage, men følelserne kan koste dig lidt. Vi ses!!❤️
