Book Club
The Black Girl Wellbeing Book Club is a reflective and community centered space created for Black women to gather, read, and process stories that speak to our lived experiences. Together, we explore literature that centers healing, identity, rest, resilience, and emotional wellness while holding space for honest conversation and shared understanding. This book club is not about academic analysis or having the “right” answer, but about connection, reflection, and being seen.
Our theme for this Winter is WELL Rested. So we have two books we'll be using as the basis for our conversation about practicing Deep Rest in our lives-- We Will Rest by Tricia Hersey and Rest is Sacred by Octavia Raheem.
✨ No pressure, just presence! You don’t have to have read the whole book to join us. We recommend reading as much as possible. But you will be able to participate even if you haven't read.
After our discussion, we're going to have a Rest Circle, guided by Yodit Mesfin Johnson, so we can practice what we're learning together. So bring a blanket, pillow, and whatever else you need to make a comfy "rest nest".
✨ What to expect:
Guided, thoughtful discussion facilitated by a licensed therapist
A supportive and affirming environment centered on Black women’s voices and experiences
Space to reflect, share insights, or simply listen at your own comfort level
Gentle prompts that connect the reading to emotional wellbeing, relationships, and daily life
Community building through meaningful conversation and collective care
Unfortunately, this location does NOT have elevator access to the 2nd floor, where we are meeting.
Register ASAP! There's limited space.
📚 We've ordered a limited amount of the books that are FREE to our community. They are available for pick up on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS, at the Book Love Bar. (1 book per person) We will update this form and notify everyone registered when all of our copies have been claimed. You can also call (734-714-6124) to check before you head to the store.
If your plans change after registering, please let us know so we can be good stewards of our resources and make space for another sister to join.

Bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, and anything else you want to keep you comfy. We will have some extra mats.
Guest facilitators, Ursula Graham (therapist, healer, creative guide, and founder of Create-U) and Carmine Frye (clinical herbalist and founder of Endive Wellness) will guide us through a tea party/tea meditation. We’ll sip thoughtfully curated herbal tea blends and engage in conversation that invites insight, connection, and ease.
Sharonda Purnell of Cocoa Healing Collective will be guiding us through a paired massage and stretch session.
Mishelle, (psychologist and trauma expert) will guide us through discussion, and give some tips and how to care for ourselves in this season.

Yoga For Blackgirl Wellbeing
This New Year, we’re doing something different.
Instead of rushing into resolutions, productivity, or pep-rally visioning, we’re creating space to slow down, listen inward, and tend to ourselves with care. This Black Girl WELLbeing gathering is a cozy, grounding New Year reset designed for Black women who are ready to move out of holiday busyness and back-to-work pressure—and into intentionality, presence, and authenticity.
What to Expect
We’ll begin with a gentle, grounding yoga practice to help us settle into our bodies, regulate our nervous systems, and reconnect with ourselves. This is about centering—not pushing—so the practice will be accessible, supportive, trauma-informed, and accessible for all levels of experience and ability.
Bring a yoga mat. We will have a few extra.
From there, we’ll move into reflective and creative practices, including:
Vision boarding
Guided journaling and reflection prompts
There will be multiple options for engaging—guided activities if you want structure, and open space if you prefer to move at your own pace. You’re welcome to choose what feels right for you in the moment. We will have materials. We can always use more magazines if you have them. Also, feel free to bring any additional materials you want.
The Vibe
✨ Cozy
✨ Nourishing
✨ Soft and spacious
✨ Reflective, not performative
✨ Rooted in connection—with yourself and with community
We’ll also share warm, nourishing food and beverages, and create an environment that feels comforting, grounding, and welcoming—like a collective exhale.
Come as you are. Participate as much—or as little—as feels supportive. This space is about honoring your fullness, celebrating your WHOLE (past/present/future) SELF, and beginning the year from a place of care rather than urgency.
Location Details:
The venue has a small parking lot. Give yourself time to find street parking or one of the nearby free parking lots if needed.
Use the middle entrance door. There is an elevator right inside.
Register ASAP! There's limited space. Don't miss out on this opportunity to take care of yourself and nurture your mind, body, and soul. See you there!
