Aight, so boom! What happens when you bring together two millennial women with locs who also share a love of books, cocktails, and great conversation? You get the Loc’d & Lit book club!
This club was created by two life-long friends, Alanna and Trish, who are in the beginning stages of their loc journey and who also share a mutual love of all things books! We hope to build a community of fellow readers where we can share our voices and opinions as they are not always heard or highlighted in the current mainstream book-sphere. So join us monthly as we discuss our latest read and touch upon all themes relevant to women today, whether it be: relationships, parenting, career, race, or life’s constant twists and turns. We hope to explore it all as we talk about the ways that we are inspired and grow though our favorite books. So may our locs thrive, our cocktails quench, and our pages turn - Its Loc’d & Lit!!
