Reading While Black Book Club

Welcome to the Reading While Black Book Club! R.W.B. is a book club/podcast where we dissect and discuss Black literature. Each month, our curators select books by us with us in mind giving our listeners access to the authors via interview where their most pressing questions get answered and they become part of the show. Curators build eclectic reading list and host book club meetings here on Clubhouse during the week so you can always keep up. Friends, community leaders, and activists stop by as we from time to time to amplify their work in marginalized communities. We promote reading as a self-help tool for better mental health and provide a safe space where individuals can tell their stories. As Black people, Black literature is not monolithic and all of it deserves celebration.
