Summer Bookclub

We’re building a safe, powerful space for Black teen girls (14–17) to explore identity, purpose, and sisterhood through the stories that reflect who they are.

Club for Girls (Ages 14–17) ✨

Real Talk. Good Books. Unstoppable Growth.

  • Dates: June 30 – July 30
    Location: TBD (local in-person venue to be announced), Chicago/Chicagoland
     Weekly reads by Black authors + journal prompts & creative reflection
    A safe, uplifting space to be real, connect, and grow
