What we’re about

My purpose for this book club is to explore literature beyond the "American Norm". In this group, I want to tap into a place that very few in the writing and reading world discuss, Black Authors. This group is about people coming together and enjoying Black/ African Literature. We are open to any and everyone that wants to read diverse books. The voice of the minority is loud and strong but often forgotten or whitewashed. My hope is for this book club to bring that voice to the forefront and celebrate the greatness that is black literature. Every month will we meet and choose a new book for the month while discussing the previous month's book. In this group, we will only read from authors of black/African descent, South American and Hispanic. Everyone from any race, background or age is welcome. The literature world is vast, don't limit yourself to one type of storytelling.
