About Melanin & Mimosas

This community was intentionally created for Black women. Our goal is to cultivate a space where we can show up as ourselves, share our perspectives, and build genuine friendships rooted in our shared experiences. We recognize non-Black women may be interested, but this space exists to center Black women and preserve the sense of comfort and connection that our members value. We kindly ask that the purpose and integrity of this Black women-centered space be respected 🫶🏾

We meet 1-2 times a month (once in-person and an optional virtual mid-book depending on everyone’s availability) to dive into stories across genres: fiction, nonfiction, romance, thrillers, and more. While we’ll highlight Black authors, we’re open to any book that sparks conversation.

Each meeting is a mix of book discussion and real connection. We want this to feel like a safe, fun space where you can laugh, share, and build friendships. Participation is simple: read what you can, come with an open mind, and be respectful of everyone’s thoughts and experiences. Even if you don’t finish the book, you’re still welcome! đź©¶
