Black Women Read Between The Wines

🌟 Our Goal

To build a vibrant community where Black women can celebrate literature, sisterhood, and self-care. We’re more than a book club — we’re a family. A space to connect, reflect, and grow through shared stories, wine nights, and conversations that matter.

 • Readers who enjoy mixing good books with good vibes — laughter, honesty, and sisterhood.

 • Those who want to explore diverse voices and stories that reflect our culture, challenges, and triumphs.
