About Unapologetically Us: Our Voices, Our Stories
Hey Sis, welcome to Unapologetically Us: Our Voices, Our Stories! This is more than just a book club—it's a space for us to celebrate, uplift, and honor the stories of Black women. We’ll be reading books written by Black women, with a Black woman at the heart of the story—whether it’s fiction or non-fiction, these are our voices, our lives, our truths. We know our experiences are rich, diverse, and full of depth, and it’s time the world hears that.
We’re based in the North suburbs of Chicago and will meet at different locations to explore local spots. We know life can get busy, and finding time to read isn’t always easy. That’s why we’re starting slow, meeting quarterly so that we have plenty of time to dive into these books, reflect, and come together to discuss without the pressure of rushing through.
Participation Guidelines:
- Be Open: This is a space where we explore each other’s stories, and that means being open to different perspectives. Come ready to listen and share.
- Respect Each Other: We’re all here to connect, learn, and grow. Treat each other with kindness and respect, especially when it comes to different opinions.
- Celebrate Diversity: Black women are not a monolith, and our stories reflect that. We embrace the variety of experiences, and all voices are welcomed as long as they uplift the conversation.
- Enjoy Yourself: This is your space to relax, escape, and get lost in some amazing stories. Let’s have fun with it, and remember—we’re all here to support each other.
At Unapologetically Us, we’re creating more than just a book club—we’re building a community. A community where you can read, reflect, and connect with other sisters who understand the importance of our stories being told. So, grab a book, get comfortable, and let’s enjoy this journey together!
