About this Event
This book club welcomes everyone who identifies as a Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) woman in Orlando, FL. The club focuses on works by authors of color and is a welcoming space for BIPOC women to connect, share perspectives, and foster friendships while celebrating the richness of diverse literary voices.
Please join us for our discussion of this month's book selection: Love in Color: Mythical Tales from Around the World, Retold by Bolu Babalola.
From Good Reads:
"A high-born Nigerian goddess, who has been beaten down and unappreciated by her gregarious lover, longs to be truly seen.
A young businesswoman attempts a great leap in her company, and an even greater one in her love life.
A powerful Ghanaian spokeswoman is forced to decide whether she should uphold her family’s politics or be true to her heart.
In her debut collection, internationally acclaimed writer Bolu Babalola retells the most beautiful love stories from history and mythology with incredible new detail and vivacity. Focusing on the magical folktales of West Africa, Babalola also reimagines Greek myths, ancient legends from the Middle East, and stories from long-erased places.
With an eye towards decolonizing tropes inherent in our favorite tales of love, Babalola has created captivating stories that traverse across perspectives, continents, and genres."
Book is easily available for purchase or at local libraries for loan.
Book Club is hosted monthly so if you aren't able to make it this month, join us next month!
