Melanated Women Read: Happy Land

Melanated Women Read is a book discussion group by and especially for Black women. This month we will discuss Happy Land, by Dolen Perkins-Valdez.

Nikki Berry hasn't seen her estranged grandmother in years, until an unexpected phone call summons her to the hills of North Carolina.

Nikki soon learns the incredible story of a real-life American Kingdom—and her family’s ties to it.

About Melanated Women Read:

Melanated Women Read is a virtual book group that is by and especially for Black women. The purpose and focus are on inspiring, uplifting reads, and providing a safe space for Black women to speak, vent and enjoy honest and open conversation.

The group chooses from books written by Black authors. The goal of this community-based group is to introduce a variety of Black writers who will help build a love of reading in a positive environment while meeting new people and gaining new perspectives.

Melanated Women Read meets virtually on the first Monday of each month.
