BOOK CLUB Meeting AND Meetup at Wine Bar (2 different locations)

*This meetup will be at TWO LOCATIONS *

Please note: for the Park manor 75 wine bar, space is limited. I made reservations. So please rsvp if you plan to join us at the wine bar or you will not be guaranteed a seat/space.

Join the ladies of Reading Rainbow for our first meeting in 2026! We will be discussing the book ***Salvation ***by bell hooks. This is the perfect time to come to an R&R meeting if you havent yet. I always say, it doesnt matter if you read half the book, or read it 20 years ago, still come! Reading Rainbow is a safe space where queer Black women build community. Come thru and bring a friend, or come thru and make a friend. We would love to see you:)
