A Supportive Community Of Book Loving Black Women
About Mocha Girls Read
Founded in 2011, Mocha Girls Read is a book club dedicated to sharing the joy of reading and connecting with like-minded black women.
With 14 chapters across the US, we offer a platform for black women to come together and discuss their favorite books. From historical romance to self-help and fiction, we have something for everyone.
By providing a space for fellowship, both online and in-person, we aim to inspire more women to read and enjoy the many benefits of literature.
Mocha Girls Read book events remain completely free to Black Women who want to Enjoy A Good Book with Friends.

Alysia Allen, Founder/President
After looking all over the internet for a book club, I found two and joined them both. They were really great and I made a few new friends. But, I noticed one thing about both of them. I was the only black woman of color, the only African-American, and the only mocha girl in the clubs. I thought about this and said, “Self, there has got to be some sistas in LA who like to read.” So Mocha Girls Read was born.
