Reading with Power: Black Women Writer Studies is an 8-week guided literary study for teen girls and women ready to read deeply, think critically, and explore the work of Black women writers through voice, identity, imagination, and power.
Together, we will begin with Toni Morrison’s “Cinderella’s Stepsisters” and Zora Neale Hurston’s “Drenched in Light,” then move into Their Eyes Were Watching God.
This is not a book club. It is a guided reading experience with select texts, thoughtful discussion, reflection prompts, and take-home reflections designed to help participants explore each text with care, curiosity, and personal connection.
*STARTS THE WEEK OF JULY 6TH*
Series Length: 8 weeks
Session Duration: 75 minutes
Schedule:
Girls Study Track meets Wednesday evenings for 8 weeks.
Women’s Study Track meets Sunday evenings for 8 weeks.
Hosted virtually on The Champion Stage.
Books are not included with registration. Participants are encouraged to borrow Their Eyes Were Watching God from local libraries or purchase before sessions begin. Purchase links will be provided after registration. The other reading materials will be provided.
