The AFRO-Freedom Book Club is a public book club that focuses on African writers.

About the Book club

The AFRO-Freedom Book Club is a public book club that focuses on African writers to inspire dialogue and civic engagement in the community. We strongly believe in the voice of Africans and the importance of telling our own stories. The book club is a great space for Afro-centric, creative and open-minded people. Everyone is invited to join our circle! This is an excellent way to enjoy African literature with a diverse and great group of readers and thinkers. It is open to fellow brothers and sisters who want to stimulate their brain cells, have fun, and create meaningful relationships through shared literature. We promise the spirit of Truth and the spirit of Ubuntu.

LET US READ, LISTEN, SPEAK UP, AND BE HEARD!

Joining is as simple as showing up to the monthly meet-up. You're welcome whether you've read the book or not.

We meet on the second Wednesday of each month and we welcome everybody with open arms. We provide little snacks and juice and you're welcome to bring your wine! There's a back-up generator for those load-shedding days.

Spread the love and invite others; the more the merrier! Let’s grow our conversation circle! We will share our monthly book selection via our mailing list and social media (Facebook and Instagram).
