What we’re about

Do you like to have deep conversations about fiction, history, culture and/or current events? Do you feel that CHICAGO needs more spaces where queer women of color can mingle? Are you looking for your tribe?...

WHAT TO EXPECT:
The Reading Rainbow BOOK CLUB (for Queer Black Women) is a safe space where women, (age 30 to 50), can convene to discuss works from various authors. We will meet, in CHICAGO, at restaurants, coffee shops, libraries ,parks, beaches, bars and bookstores. We will schedule other outings such as: brunches and author lectures/author book signing events. Join us!
