The Cookout: For The Black & Bookish

The Cookout: For The Black & Bookish is a community-centered literary event created for readers who aren’t ready for the weekend festivities to end. Hosted the Monday after Black Romance Book Fest, it’s a laid-back space for book lovers to unwind, eat good food, play games, and vibe with their favorite reader girlies before heading home and to the hustle and bustle. Imagine the fun cookouts you used to go to in the 90s and 2000s and think of this as that.
