Black Everywhere® - Long Beach

Step into a space where Black voices, stories, and brilliance take center stage.

Black Everywhere invites you to Book’d Up, a curated book club experience where literature meets community, culture, and conversation. Whether you’re a lifelong book lover or just getting back into reading, this gathering is about more than just turning pages — it’s about deepening connections, expanding minds, and celebrating the richness of Black storytelling.

Our first meet & greet will be held virtually, giving everyone a chance to connect, vibe, and get familiar before we dive into our first read. We’ll talk about what’s on the bookshelf, share intentions for the space, and build community from wherever you are.

Each session of Book’d Up will feature a carefully selected book by a Black author — from fiction that stirs the soul to non-fiction that sparks change. Come ready to discuss, reflect, and engage with folks who value powerful narratives and real talk.

✨ Good books.
✨ Great energy.
✨ Black joy, always.

Join us — get book’d up and stay woke.
