About this Event

Girl, Read This: Big Girl Blitz + Junk Journaling Workshop

Come outside, bring your feelings, and your scissors too.

This month’s Girl, Read This book club is centered around Big Girl Blitz — a story about leaving behind who tried to shrink you, reclaiming your joy, and choosing the love you actually deserve.

Jazmyn Payne ran from a hometown that never made room for her softness or her size. But life has a funny way of circling back—through grief, healing, and maybe… a little romance. Enter Lamar: fine, easy, and just what she didn’t know she needed.

But this isn’t just about a man.
It’s about what happens when you finally choose yourself.


Workshop Vibe: Junk Journaling Your Soft Life

We’re turning the themes of the book into a hands-on, feel-good creative session.

Think:

  • Letting go of past versions of yourself
  • Rewriting your love story
  • Romanticizing your life (for real this time)
  • Cutting up old narratives and making something new

You’ll create your own junk journal using:
magazines, affirmations, textures, words, and whatever your spirit needs that night.



What to Expect:
  • Guided discussion on Big Girl Blitz (the real, the messy, the healing)
  • Junk journaling workshop + materials provided
  • Light bites & good energy (because we don’t do anything on an empty stomach)
  • A room full of women choosing softness, joy, and themselves

Come If:

You’ve ever outgrown a version of yourself
You’re learning to love your body out loud
You’re done shrinking
You want to feel seen, held, and a little bit fine
