Brilliant Brown Boys Book Club
BBBBC mission is to boost brown boys reading confidence, spark a passion for reading, and provide access to culturally relevant books with positive black characters. Prior to COVID, our sessions were held at Bessie Coleman Library but now our boys meet virtually. We choose books that highlight black people in a positive light and that are written by black authors. In an effort to reinforce positive representation, our sessions are led by two African American male educators. The last piece of the program is that we bring on Guest Storytellers to read the featured book and engage our boys. Guest Storytellers are accomplished black men from various industries. Our mission falls in line with the education component listed in the RFP.
