So join us monthly as we discuss our latest read and touch upon all themes relevant to women today, whether it be: relationships, parenting, career, race, or life’s constant twists and turns. We hope to explore it all as we talk about the ways that we are inspired and grow though our favorite books. So may our locs thrive, our cocktails quench, and our pages turn - Its Loc’d & Lit!!
