November 8 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Susan Huckle will talk about the themes and experiences in her debut MOMoir about her Pentecostal-turned-flat-earther parents titled “The Earth Is Flat?! And Other Things My Mother Taught Me”. She will also discuss how her UNC-Chapel Hill journalism education influenced this book, as well as why it wasn’t until moving to L.A. to be an actor that her beliefs meaningfully shifted.

And Other Things My Mother Taught Me is about her evangelical-turned-flat-earther parents and quickly became a #1 New Release after its debut on Earth Day 2026. Susan grew up in Santa Maria, CA, and earned her B.A. in Journalism and Dramatic Art from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as a Master of Sustainable Tourism from Arizona State University.
