More Than A Book Club: Building a Literary Movement for Black Women with Glory Edim

What started out as a T-shirt (the now-viral “Well-Read Black Girl” phenomenon) followed by a book club, has since transformed into a literacy festival, a publisher imprint and an international community, all thanks to the vision of Glory Edim, founder of Well-Read Black Girl.In today’s episode, we chat about how she turned her love of literature into a global organisation, why reading is pivotal for joy and wellness, and the one book every woman should read before turning 40.
