Our topic for this meeting will be to reflect and share the influence our own grandparents and on us as we grew-up. This could include "grandparent figures" who might have also influenced us.

Saturday, May 15th // 5:00pm
Our next book (for the May 2022 meeting) is Color Me In by Natasha Diaz. Nevaeh wants to get to know her extended family, but one of her cousins can't stand that Nevaeh, who inadvertently passes as white, is too privileged, pampered, and selfish to relate to the injustices they face on a daily basis as African Americans. In the midst of attempting to blend their families, Nevaeh's dad decides that she should have a belated bat mitzvah instead of a sweet sixteen, which guarantees social humiliation at her posh private school. Read more below!
