The National Black Women’s Justice Institute’s Book Club spotlights books by Black women that highlight the real impact of incarceration on Black women and girls.


There’s so much to learn, and it can be hard to know where to start. So join us, read with us, and learn along with us! It’s very simple with no pressure:


  • We choose one book every few months. You read at your own pace.

  • We share guiding questions for you to think about as you read.

  • You can engage with other readers online (on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook).

  • As we finish the book, join us for a conversation with the author. We’ll discuss the book, learn what inspires her work, and consider together how we translate our new knowledge into healing-centered justice.
