BlackGirlsEmpowered

Welcome to BlackGirlsEmpowered’s Bimonthly Book series. We will be meeting in-person at Euclid Creek Reservation Upper Highland Area.

We will be having a book club and picnic event. **We are reading In Every Mirror She’s Black by Lola Akinmade Åkerström.
**
Bring your picnic blankets, snacks, drinks and let’s have great time connecting with each other.

In Every Mirror, She’s Black is “An arresting debut for anyone looking for insight into what it means to be a Black woman in the world. Three Black women are linked in unexpected ways to the same influential white man in Stockholm as they build their new lives in the most open society run by the most private people.

Told through the perspectives of each of the three women, In Every Mirror She's Black is a fast-paced, richly nuanced yet accessible contemporary novel that touches on important social issues of racism, classism, fetishization, and tokenism, and what it means to be a Black woman navigating a white-dominated society.”

See you soon!
