What we’re about

We are a group of black women who love to read, want to read more, and meet like-minded women. We are here to inspire women to read, share literature, fellowship, and encourage others in the joy of reading. We meet at the Inglewood Public Library (2nd Floor) on the first Saturday of the month. We are an eclectic group of women and so are our reading selections. Find out more on our website www.mochagirlsread.com

**Feeling overwhelmed by to-dos and a chaotic calendar? **
Say goodbye to Monday morning madness and join the Mocha Girls for a weekly refocus session every Saturday!
Here's the deal: Dedicate 1-2 hours to plan your week, tackle that to-do list, or simply catch up on self-care. ️ ‍
Fuel your focus: Grab your favorite beverage, whether it's a classic coffee ☕️, calming tea 🫖, refreshing water, or even a celebratory mimosa if you're feeling extra froggy!
The time is yours:

Craft a strategic plan for the week or month ahead.
Conquer your budget and master your finances.
Unleash your inner wordsmith with journaling prompts. ✍️
Curl up with a good book and get some quality reading time in.
Connect with fellow Mocha Girls and share your goals, and tips, or just unwind.
Remember: Failing to plan IS planning to fail.
So, ditch the Sunday scaries and join us! ✨
Hosted by: Tenille Griffin
When: Every Saturday ️
