This beautiful memoir of family, community, and resilience, is an ode to the power of books to help us understand ourselves. Glory Edim found community through books, and as she grew older she discovered authors and ideas that resonated with her when she most needed it. Edim recounts how different writers taught her how to value herself by helping her to find her own voice. She also highlights the power of representation in literature. Her Well-Read Black Girl book club focuses on the power of books to create bonds with others. The aim is to uplift more diverse authors and stories. Immerse yourself in her memoir, engage with its themes, and be a part of a larger conversation during the 25-26 academic year!

The journey never ends with the last page of the book. Throughout the year, the Aims Read team will host a series of book club-style events. These will provide rich opportunities to deepen our understanding, connect with one another and have conversations. We will also provide resources to help employees and faculty weave the themes of the book into their workspaces and classrooms - stay tuned!
