Former Bulls player DeMar DeRozan (now playing with the Sacramento Kings) shares his mental health journey and his book, Above the Noise: My Story of Chasing Calm, at 7 p.m. on Nov. 19th.

Hanif Abdurraqib interviews DeMar. This event is open to Libertyville District 70 families and staff.
DeMar's books will be given away randomly during the session.
From a scared, angry kid to a confident father of five, DeRozan traces his journey to basketball stardom and the forces that honed him into the player—and the slowly healing person—he is today. It will encourage anyone who has ever felt alone in their struggles and inspire people to rise above the noise and speak their truth.
DeRozan is a six-time NBA All-Star and two-time gold medalist for the United States Men’s Basketball Team. DeMar was recently traded to the Sacramento Kings after playing for the Chicago Bulls from 2021-2024.
This event is part of the Families Learning Together and FAN sessions for the 24-25 school year.
