Summer Reading With Intention Book Discussions 2025

Reading Womanism From Beyond The Margins

This summer, we invite you to join us for an intentional reading journey that explores stories of strong young Black women lead characters—told through the voices of a Black male author, an African feminist writer, and a celebrated Young Adult author.


We’re doing something a little different this season: selecting books written outside the traditional womanist genre to broaden our perspectives. Each of these award-winning, internationally renowned authors brings a unique voice and insight to our discussions.


We anticipate powerful conversations and thought-provoking moments—and we look forward to sharing an exciting summer of reading with you!

About this summer's book selection...

“Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a richly layered novel that explores identity, love, race, and migration. It follows Ifemelu, a young Nigerian woman who moves to the United States for university and later becomes a successful blogger writing about race and cultural differences. As she navigates life in America and eventually returns to Nigeria, the story examines what it means to belong—and what is lost and gained in the pursuit of the American Dream.

A bold and insightful exploration of globalization, Blackness, and self-discovery, Americanah is both deeply personal and universally resonant.” – ChatGPT

“Piecing Me Together by Renée Watson is a compelling young adult novel that follows Jade, a talented African American teen from North Portland. Attending a predominantly white private school on scholarship, Jade navigates the complexities of race, privilege, and identity. While she aspires to study abroad to enhance her Spanish skills, she's instead placed in a mentorship program called "Woman to Woman," which she finds both enlightening and challenging. Through her passion for collage art, Jade begins to piece together her own identity, learning to speak up and advocate for herself in a world that often overlooks her voice. The novel delves into themes of self-discovery, systemic inequality, and the power of art as a means of expression. Recognized for its profound storytelling, Piecing Me Together received numerous accolades, including the Coretta Scott King Author Award and a Newbery Honor.” – ChatGPT
