About This Podcast

The Reading Black Girls Podcast is an unfiltered show about everything we love and hate about the books we read. Join four beautiful, melanated HBCU-educated women: Alex, Aziza, Denisha, and Kayla as we unapologetically chat about books from a wide range of genres. From non-fiction and romance to YA and historical fiction, we break down new and classical reads to discuss our favorite moments and our criticisms. Join us as we laugh, reflect, chastise, and recommend some of our personal book interests. Our mission is to inspire and change the way people view reading as a task and bring back the fun and exploration of simply finding a good book!
