Hey Mocha Queens!
Let’s shake things up. For our next meetup, we’re strapping on our walking shoes and taking on San Diego’s Seven Bridges Hike — a 5–6 mile urban loop that winds through Balboa Park, Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, and a few hidden corners of the city. We’ll cross seven distinct bridges, peek into canyons, wander through neighborhoods, and stop for snacks and a restroom break at Cafe Figaro.
Bring your walking shoes, journal, curiosity, and camera. Wear layers (it shifts from shade to sun), carry water, and be ready to talk, ponder, and share.

### The Twist:

As we walk, keep your eyes open for anything that feels literary — a bookstore sign, a quote on a wall, an author’s name on a plaque, a book cover, or a phrase etched somewhere.
When you spot one, take a photo. That’s your proof.
By the end of the hike, aim to collect seven different literary finds.
We’ll compare photos at the finish and celebrate whoever captures the most unique finds (or all seven).

### A Few Tips:

• Stay safe and aware of your surroundings.
• Be creative — the best finds are often hidden in plain sight.
• Save your photos in order or jot a note so you remember each find.

This isn’t just a hike — it’s a literary treasure trail, a blend of stories, steps, and sisterhood.
Let’s make this walk our story in motion.

See you on the trail!

Yo Mocha Girls!

November is on its WAY and we comin' in HOT with Ring Shout by P. Djèlí Clark — a whole supernatural smackdown set in 1922 Georgia where demons rock white hoods and our folks fight back with swords, magic, and straight-up audacity.
Since the "hood" is central to this story (terror hoods, hidden identities, and epic resistance), we flippin' the script for our meetup — hoodie season is ACTIVE. Let your hoodie represent comfort, protection, and reclamation.
We’ll be meeting in the ’hood. Valencia/Malcolm X Library
What's Poppin':
Pull up in your flyest hoodie — make it a vibe, a mood, a whole statement.

• Drop one thought on how the "hood" (hoodies, coverings, identity, or space) showed up in the story. Let's unpack it.
• Share your tales from the hood — a memory, reflection, or story about your neighborhood, your roots, your people. We wanna hear it.

The Energy: Deep convos. Bold themes. Good laughs. Safe space. This book ain't just a page-turner — it's a rallying cry, a reckoning, and a celebration all wrapped in one.
So come through ready. Hoodie on. Mind sharp. Heart open.
Let's get into it.
