The Radical Chapters
A 7-week virtual sanctuary designed for Black and POC women and femmes to heal collectively through literature, trauma-informed dialogue, and intentional community building.
Each curated cohort centers on impactful storytelling, combining shared reading with pre-printed progress journals, creative tools, and live virtual spaces that fiercely protect your joy and vulnerability. It is a soft, barrier-free space to unpack heavy truths, rediscover your passions, and grow alongside a sisterhood that completely affirms your authentic self.
What’s included:
Seven weekly 2-hour sessions, in an intimate 15-person cohort
Your choice of an audiobook link or a physical copy of the book
A custom 49-page progress journal, made specifically for this program
A signature Collective pen
A special welcome gift
Everything arrives at your door before your first session — you don't have to source or prepare anything yourself.
Why We Created This Space
(And What Awaits You Inside)

Let’s be real for a moment: in a world that constantly demands your strength, your performance, and your labor, who is holding space for you?
So many Black and POC women and femmes in our Buffalo community are running on empty, stretched thin by the beautiful but exhausting roles of being caregivers, mothers, professionals, and students. We created our Virtual Book Club Series because we believe that rest is a form of resistance, and collective healing is far more powerful than trying to fix things on your own. This isn't your average, casual reading group where you scroll through pages just to cross them off a list. This is an invitation to put down your armor, log on from the comfort of your couch, and find a soft place to land.
What Your Experience Will Look Like
When you secure a seat in our intimate circle, we take care of all the details so you don't have to lift a finger. Before our first session, a beautifully curated sanctuary package will arrive at your doorstep, bundling:
The Literature: Your choice of a gorgeous physical book or a convenient audiobook link.
The Custom Progress Journal: A 44-page, beautifully bound companion notebook packed with custom reading summaries, spaces to track powerful new vocabulary, and raw reflection prompts.
Our Signature Pen: A simple tool to write your truths without fear or performance.
Over the course of 6 to 8 weeks, you will log into a completely private, zero-recording Zoom sanctuary. Led by our founder, these sessions are a safe, "no-mask" zone where we dive into deep, vulnerable, and restorative conversations inspired by our readings. You will laugh, unpack shared struggles, celebrate unexpected wins, and learn new frameworks for self-care alongside a supportive sisterhood that fiercely protects your joy and safety.
Come exactly as you are—whether you're tired, inspired, or somewhere completely in between. There are no expectations here. Just a safe margin, powerful pages, and a sisterhood waiting to welcome you home.
Do I need to have read ahead, or be a "big reader"?
No. This isn't about performing intellectually or finishing every page on schedule. Come as you are, with whatever you've had capacity for that week.
What if the cost is a barrier?
Ask us about subsidized seats when you register. We hold space for this in every cohort.
