### Saltwater & Stories — Saltwater & Stories is a monthly gathering for women who love books, meaningful conversation, and community. Inspired by the beauty and rhythm of island life, we come together to read and discuss books written by Black women from the Caribbean, the United States, and across the diaspora. From novels and memoirs to poetry, essays, romance, and everything in between, our selections will celebrate the creativity, strength, and storytelling of Black women while encouraging us to fall back in love with reading without limits. Many of us are working professionals and women navigating full lives — balancing family, careers, friendships, growth and self-care. This space was created for women who are craving connection with others in a similar season of life, especially women of color who value social connection, community, and meaningful new friendships. I’m starting this group because years ago I belonged to a book club where I met incredible women who shared my love of reading. Those conversations, friendships, and moments of connection stayed with me, and I realized how much I missed that sense of community. Each month we’ll gather at different spots around the island — whether it’s a breezy beachside space, a local café, or a cozy restaurant — to share thoughts on the book, connect with one another, and enjoy great conversation. My vision for this community is simple: • Read broadly and boldly across genres and topics • Meet once a month for inspiring book discussions (in person or occasionally online) • Build lasting friendships and authentic connections • Support accountability, consistency, and personal growth • Plan dinners, drinks, outings, and small meetups beyond book club meetings to build sisterhood This is more than a book club. It’s a social circle, a support system, and a space where women can show up for themselves and each other again — connecting over great books, great food, great drinks, and great conversation! Whether you're here for the reading, the friendships, or both, you belong here. Come as you are, bring your book, bring a friend and join the circle! Let’s read, connect, and grow — one book, one conversation, and one meetup at a time.
