This Black Girl Reads Monthly Book Club

Welcome to Season 7 of the This Black Girl Reads Book Club!!!

Join Us in a Journey of Healing, Growth, and Connection Through Books

Welcome to another transformative season of This Black Girl Reads Book Club, where we reclaim our stories, celebrate Black voices, and create a community of healing and sisterhood through the power of books.

This season, we invite both returning and new members to dive deep into stories that challenge, inspire, and uplift us as Black women. Our Season 7 lineup is a curated selection of thought-provoking reads that explore themes of identity, self-discovery, love, and resilience.

Whether you're here to connect with like-minded women, find solace in the pages of a good book, or engage in deep discussions that spark change, Season 7 promises to be a powerful journey.

What to Expect in Season 7

Season 7 features a diverse collection of books by incredible BIPOC authors. Over the next few months, we’ll read, reflect, and engage in meaningful conversations that will challenge us to think critically and live more fully.

As always, our sessions are designed to be inclusive, safe, and supportive spaces where BIPOC women of all ages and backgrounds can come together, share their stories, and learn from one another. Expect a mix of in-person discussions, online forums, and engaging activities that go beyond the books we read.
