Welcome to The Blackletter
The Blackletter Club is a bilingual book club founded to celebrate the richness and diversity of the Black community through literature. Created during the COVID-19 pandemic and initially thriving on Clubhouse, it explores themes of racial and social justice through fiction, biographies, and essays. Rooted in the founder's personal journey across various creative fields, the club was born from a deep passion for storytelling as a means of liberation and identity.
the READ serves as a dynamic platform spotlighting Black literature, culture, and critical discourse. It features a curated selection of essays, reviews, and reflections that delve into the multifaceted experiences of the Black community.
the READ functions as a rich resource for readers interested in exploring Black narratives and engaging with critical discussions surrounding Black identity and culture.
