The Black Girl Book Club Podcast

What does loyalty mean to you, is what we discussed on tonight's podcast. Listen as we laugh our way right into some mess as only Ladii Nesha would have it.

"Snakes aren’t always strangers. They come in the form of family and friends with trusting smiles and familiarity. Those bites hurt ten times worse because you can’t see it coming."

YALL...I know I say this every week but tonight's podcast was 🔥! If was like just a few of your book besties sitting around shooting the sh*t!

Keisha spills all the tea on her upcoming releases.

The drama, the sex, the love was real in the one. Take a listen.

Chyna Black thought she’d finally gotten her happily ever after. Her melanin is popping, her career has taken off like magic, and her love life is like something from a fairytale. After rekindling her love affair with Dame, he came back in her life, showed her how to move in a room full of bitches and swept her off her feet. When they met 20 years ago, she never knew the impact she’d made on his life. Because of her, Dame didn’t even know bitches. With him, she found her forever. His love was like no other. The stars in the sky were aligning perfectly. Then, within a blink of an eye, her dream became a nightmare. When the smoke clears, and the dust settles, will Chyna be able to hold on to everything she holds dear, or will she end up alone - all over again?

Gray Rose and Gunz have two kids and a home together. You would think, after 10 years together, she’d have a ring too… but Gunz still isn’t ready for marriage. Maybe it’s because he’s always fly, stays in the cockpit and can’t stay out the streets. Gray is over trying to keep a man that doesn’t want to be kept and Gunz ain’t beat, she can jump off his dick. All it takes is one nigga to remind her that she’s bad as fuck, and that they’re a real nigga.

After 11 years, four kids, a house and a dog, Mo and Boss finally got married. From the outside looking in, everything seems perfect, but Mo is secretly drowning. When she looks in the mirror, she doesn’t even recognize herself anymore. She used to have that up North glow, body looking like cinnamon, but between breast-feeding, soccer practice, ballet class, keeping house, a bitchy, loud-mouth mother-in-law and a husband who won’t keep his mama in check but constantly wants to fuck, Mo is five seconds away from putting everybody on the front porch. Can she keep it together without losing her sanity?

Chyna, Gray and Mo are going through it, but with their girls, Meesa, Mina and Dylan by their side, they’ll go through their trials and tribulations with love, laughter, a few tears and style every time they touch the city - STOP IT!!

This story started off heartbreaking but didn't disappoint, of course Robbi Renee gave us our HEA (Happily Ever After).

What do you do when you're in love with someone you know you may never have, let's talk about it.

Kindred spirits are said to be individuals with the same beliefs, attitudes, and feelings. Similar souls who mutually experience an instant heart connection of love, peace, and understanding. But when that connection is threatened, can kindred souls fall deeply, dangerously in love?
Xander ~ warrior, protector, the defender of people. But the awkward, gangly teenager Xander Kindred contradicts the valor and strength of the Greek name. He covets a simple life away from the hustle and madness of the inner-city streets. The oldest of the Kindred boys, Xander denies his family’s murderous legacy until an innocent walk home from school quickly transforms Xander from a boy to a man. Forcing Xander to protect his family and territory at all cost - even if it means sacrificing his kindred soul mate, the love of his life.

She thought she could save him, he knew she couldn't, in the meantime they find love.

It's been said that you only get three loves in your life. But who has ever been lucky enough to find three loves? It's a miracle if a person runs into one person that they can share the emotion with.

Love at first sight is a matter of perception, and for Ashland, he never really believed in the authenticity of it. Not until Kenya walked in and stole his breath away. He wasn't looking for love, never even wanted to feel love, and yet...here she was.

Kenya's attraction to Ashland was immediate and couldn't be denied, but he was by far the most complicated man she had ever come across. How do you break down the barriers of someone who won't open up? How do you begin to explain what you don't understand yourself?

Between the two of them, the idea of love seems more and more difficult to wrap their minds around, but the feelings won't go away, and their connection only gets stronger.

Will Ashland and Kenya be able to maneuver through this complicated journey, or will their fears be enough to stop them from pursuing what could be the greatest moment of their lives?

This was not our typical read but a must read, so we had to put out fellow black girls on, and Perfect Peace did not disappoint. The Facebook group was on 🔥 this week.

This book will make you laugh, cry, and think. This was a great discussion...take a listen.

Read This book: https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Peace-Novel-Daniel-Black-ebook/dp/B003BQZ83O/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

As seen on TikTok, Daniel Black’s Perfect Peace is the heartbreaking portrait of a large, rural southern family’s attempt to grapple with their mother’s desperate decision to make her newborn son into the daughter she will never have—“a complex, imaginative story of one unforgettable black family in mid-twentieth century Arkansas” (Atlanta Magazine).
When the seventh child of the Peace family, named Perfect, turns eight, her mother Emma Jean tells her bewildered daughter, “You was born a boy. I made you a girl. But that ain’t what you was supposed to be. So, from now on, you gon’ be a boy. It’ll be a little strange at first, but you’ll get used to it, and this’ll be over after while.”
From this point forward, Perfect’s life becomes a bizarre kaleidoscope of events—while the rest of his family is forced to question everything they thought they knew about gender, sexuality, unconditional love, and fulfillment.
“A morality tale of the consequences of letting our selfish needs trap the ones we love into roles they weren’t born to play. The characters here are as flawed, their sins numerous, as any living human being held under the lens, but the author brings a compassion and understanding to their plights.”—Mat Johnson, award-winning author of Invisible Things
“Part cautionary tale, part folk tale, part fable, Daniel Black’s Perfect Peace is a complete triumph…In Emma Jean Peace, Dr. Black has created a character as complex, equivocal and unforgettable as Scarlett O'Hara.”—Larry Duplechan, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of Got ’Til It’s Gone

This book was such an emotional read but refreshing all within the same pages. Patrese and Shequana laugh and talk about what moments touched them the most. Take a listen.

How did you meet the love of your life? Your forever person.

Two people seemingly from different worlds with many connections find themselves intertwined in a whirlwind of emotional, chaotic, yet beautiful and healing bonding.

What one couldn't be for themselves, they found in each other.
