Woke Beauties Book Club
Welcome to a virtual community gathering for support and exploration!
Welcome to a monthly soul-feeding virtual book club centered on exploring, meditating and investigating poignant voices as we work to cultivate our own.
While we’ll discuss and chat about the stories and themes within the various works we read, our goal is to spend time reflexively considering the voice of the author and how its employment shapes the story itself. A meditative practice, this reading allows us to center in on our own voices by triangulating it through the works of others.
In particular, we’ll dive into memoirs and poetry from folks of color and also take a bird’s eye view on the power of voice through texts centered on social justice and community activism.
We’ll meet virtually once a month via Zoom for 90 minutes— all snacks, pets and anything you may need welcome! In this book club we co-create knowledge and insights through conversation and grace, meeting each other right where we are at that day.
Sign up below to help Riley get to know you a bit better.
****Please note that the book club is month to month with limited availability for attendants. It is not exclusive; we keep it small just so that we can have an open dialogue (that way no one is muted). :)
Riley will get back to you on your participation status!
Our Zoom calls will be formatted as a workshop that will allow for back and forth dialogue as little or as much as you like! (you’ll receive a Zoom link the morning of our meeting)
