ABOUT THE SISTAHFRIEND BOOK CLUB
The SistahFriend Book Club is a live and online reading and networking group for women
that focuses on reading and
discussing books by African-Americans and promoting unity
through women empowerment and fellowship.Founded in November
2004 by Tasha Martin,
the sisterhood began with four members in Columbia, SC. Once a month, members bond
as sisters
and discuss literary works in settings designed according to a theme, place, or
character in a selected read.
In March of 2007, the SFBC opened its membership online, adding an interactive dimension
to its website,
www.sistahfriend.com
.
Online features include: book reviews, author spotlights, book
features, author and reader chats, and a message board for both readers and writers to
stay connected. The group also publishes an online quarterly newsletter to highlight
authors and women leaders in the community. In the Fall of 2007, the club began hosting
authors at site meetings and conducting live book reviews with the online radio show,
Urban Literary Review.
In the beginning of 2008, the SFBC celebrated its third anniversary
by opening two new branches in
Raleigh, NC and Kansas City, Kansas.
Online book club members drop in 24 hours a day on our forum, where lively book discussions and sistah
bonding occurs all day. Chats are held Thursdays evenings at 7pm (see chat schedule). Contact us at
info@sistahfriend.com if you'd like to join a current chapter or start one in your city.
