Black Moms Read

is an exclusive virtual Bookclub created by Black Moms for Black Moms. Gabrielle Union says, 'If you prioritize yourself you are going to save yourself.'

We created this bookclub as an extension of Black Moms Connection to foster Black Women’s love of reading. That of yourself, that of your children and that of your family.

A fun, safe, quiet and peaceful space, which allows you to take time out of your day, to focus on something outside of being a mom.

A place where the voices of Black Women Authors are amplified. Where we discuss their work, have amazing conversations without judgment and criticism.

Here you have a voice, time to breathe and just BE.

Let's get to reading, brunching and discussing!

To join the BMC Reads Group, you must be a member of our Facebook Community.

February Book Selection:
A novel by Bolu Babalola

Interested in submitting a book for our community to read?

This 2021 debut novel by American poet Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, explores the history of an African-American family in the American South, from the time before the American Civil War and slavery, through the Civil Rights Movement, to the present.

Themes include family history, education, and racism, and the prose narrative is interspersed with poetic passages ("love songs") that provide insight into and detail of the protagonist's ancestors, who are people of African, Creek, and Scottish descent.
