Join us todayCurrently Reading: Sula by Toni Morrison
Our current selection is Sula by Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison.
Set in a Black community in Ohio, Sula explores friendship, identity, gender, belonging, and the expectations placed on Black women. Through the complicated relationship between Sula Peace and Nel Wright, Morrison invites readers to consider what it means to live on one's own terms and how communities define loyalty, respectability, and freedom.
Join us as we explore Morrison's work and the questions it raises about Black women's lives, relationships, and choices.
