Welcome

Welcome to Mocha Girls Read book club. Mocha Girls Read is a book club for Black women who love to read, want to read more, and meet like-minded women. We are here to inspire women to read, share literature, fellowship, and encourage others in the joy of reading. We meet monthly in 14 cities across the US. We are an eclectic group of women and so are our reading selections. We don’t limit our reading to release dates, gender, race or genre.  So glad you’re here!

“It wasn't until after I left Memphis that I got “It wasn't until after I left Memphis that I got to L.A. and I was exposed to a lot of people who were in the arts," Dickey said.

"And eventually, I landed in a writing class. I actually went to the class with a friend, who talked me into taking a class with her because she didn't want to be the only African American in the class. And I went reluctantly, and I stayed and she dropped out. I took a lot of classes, I mean, and I would sometimes take class once a week."

Dickey said that many of his earliest works, including 1996's Sister, Sister, focused on the lives of a certain type of Black women because, he noted, there was a lack of "any true literary representation."

"I would say before Terry McMillan there was not any true literary representation, meaning that there were no characters who looked like them, that were going through what they were going through at the time," Dickey told NPR.

"We're talking about women who are educated, who are coming of their own, who, you know — so we're writing these very contemporary stories that they can connect to right now."
