About the event
ASIAN, Inc. is excited to partner on this upcoming event!
Join us on Sunday, 11/10, as author Kyla Zhao presents her latest novel, May the Best Player Win—a powerful story celebrating girl power in competitive sports. The book follows Bay Area chess player May Li, who wagers against her sexist rival to prove that girls can match boys at the game. But as the pressure mounts, May battles performance anxiety that threatens not only her skills but also her love for chess. Can she pursue victory without losing the joy of playing? We’re thrilled to welcome Kyla Zhao and her conversation partner, fellow YA author Ann Liang, to On Waverly for an inspiring discussion on ambition, resilience, and staying true to oneself.
