This group is for both males and females seeking an esteemed forum dedicated to the rigorous exploration of ideas, history, and concepts that define and shape the Black experience. Through carefully selected texts and a supportive community, members systematically expand and refine their perspectives on Black identity, culture, and resilience.
The book club also provides opportunities to develop skills in social epidemiology and research analysis, empowering members to articulate key concepts with clarity, confidence and authority.
This is a space for serious inquiry, intellectual growth, and meaningful dialogue; where dedication to mastery, knowledge, and empowerment converges
