Are you ready to read like never before?

Are you ready for fun reads, thought-provoking discussion questions, AND fun book giveaways? Look no more! Check out my NEW online book club, Reading Between The Wines starting now! I am super excited about this since many of you have asked me to create one, so here it is! Make sure to click on the "Click For Book Club Vibes" tab to your left, and you will then be connected to our new Facebook group! It's simple, just click to join, and keep up with us each month! Jump into July with this month's read, Black Privilege x Charlamagne the God. In this read, Charlamagne presents his often controversial and always brutally honest insights on how living an authentic life is the quickest path to success. This journey to truth begins in the small town of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, and leads to New York and headline-grabbing interviews and insights from celebrities like Kanye West, Kevin Hart, Malcolm Gladwell, Lena Dunham, Jay Z, and Hillary Clinton. Black Privilege lays out all the great wisdom Charlamagne’s been given from many mentors, and tells the uncensored story of how he turned around his troubled early life by owning his (many) mistakes and refusing to give up on his dreams, even after his controversial opinions got him fired from several on-air jobs. In this book, Charlamagne will teach us the importance of living in our truth! This month I want to pose the question, "What was your biggest failure in your life, and what did that experience teach you?" You are welcome to comment, repost, and mingle amongst each other! Also, it is a great way to meet new readers, engage in intellectual discussion, and read great reads (yes, wine is accepted!)

Thank You!

We just wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to all the amazing women that came out to our Melanin & Sunshine event last month! It was a big success, and it was just an honor to mingle with each and every one of you, and it really was amazing to see all beautiful women of all shades come together and enjoy one another's company! We created Melanin & Sunshine as a great way for women of all shades to mingle, network, and share fun ideas over amazing food and mimosas, because who doesn't love a good mimosa? Guess what? We did just that! Cheers to all strong women: May we KNOW them. May we BE them. May we RAISE them! Thank you for believing in our vision, and thank you for sharing your love and light with us!

"I LOVE seeing a group of women come together of all different ages and generations having great conversations about love, careers, relationships, and day to day aspects of life! It was really dope as a younger woman hearing an older woman's perspective on various views and just feeling open in a judgement-free zone! I can't wait for the next event!"

"I LOVED the fun products! I can't wait to wear these cute buttons!"

"The food was absolutely amazing! I really enjoyed the spicy mixed with sweet options on the menu! The pasta salad was to die for!"

"The BEST event that I have ever been to. It is not often as women that we get a chance to just go to events and take care of us! This event was full of love, safe and open space, and great vibes! I would definitely recommend to a friend!"
