Join us for brunch on April 20th with philanthropist, art collector, movie industry insider and The 519’s Honorary Patron – Salah Bachir as we dive deep into his best-selling book First to Leave the Party My Life with Ordinary People… Who Happen to be Famous.

This captivating collection of stories details the life and times of a true queer icon and the legends he’s met along the way. From Cesar Chavez and Princess Margaret to Marlon Brando and Aretha Franklin, Salah has wowed them all with his incomparable wit, passion and of course, signature pearls. Far from just the glitz and glamour of his star-studded life – Salah’s journey is grounded in a deep activism and love of community that’s made him into a transformational philanthropist and champion for the arts, healthcare and 2SLGBTQ+ communities.
