Well-Read Black Girl is an affinity space for Black women readers and writers. Although our monthly book club selections focus on empowering the narratives of Black women, we encourage readers who identify as genderqueer, non-binary, or others who feel inspired by what we’re doing to join us and be a part of our community. This book club is open to anyone who wants to join the discussion. If you'd like to participate, please email Destinee at [email protected]. 

About the Host

Destinee joined the team in September 2016 and has been recommending omnivorously ever since. From thrillers to narrative nonfiction to literary fiction and middle grade, if it's a good story or piques her curious mind, she'll read it and enjoy it. That said, she's most known at the store for converting unsuspecting readers to being romance book lovers and for her passion for Caribbean literature. She is currently the Book Club Coordinator and hosts five book clubs at the store. She worked with DC Public Schools for over a decade in a variety of roles and still keeps educator book lovers close to her heart.
