The Mocha Girls Read Story
After looking all over the internet for a book club, I found two and joined them both. They were really great and I have made a few new friends from them. But I noticed one thing about both of them…I was the only black, woman of color, African-American, mocha girl in the clubs. I thought about this for a while and finally said to myself, “Self, there has got to be some sistas in LA who like to read.”
So Mocha Girls Read was born. Mocha Girls Read is a new monthly book club based in the Los Angeles area. We are a group of black women who love to read, want to read more, and meet like-minded women. The books we read range from fiction, self-help, historical romance, bestsellers, good ol’ short stories, and basically anything we can get our hands-on. Mocha Girls Read brings black women in the community together to read great literature, online and in-person chit-chatting about the monthly selection, and a whole lot more. Well, she is a woman of color, who loves to read. She reads all kinds of books. Fiction, Non-fiction, Dystopian Novels, Chick Lit, you name it she has read it or is going to read it. A Mocha Girl does not limit herself to books by women only, or by authors from her race. A Mocha Girl loves a good story with a healthy dose of page-turning excitement. Keep the pages turning!
