Did you know...African Americans have the highest rates of colon cancer (also known as colorectal cancer). We face a 20 percent higher risk of developing colon cancer and a 45 percent higher mortality rate than any other race. Although this disease is the third cause of cancer-related deaths in the Black community, it’s highly preventable. (See more info at BlackDoctor.org)

The Sisters of Sixth Book Club is back for another powerful season of story, sisterhood, and spiritual reflection! In past years, we’ve drawn strength from memoirs like Finding Me by Viola Davis and Just As I Am by Cicely Tyson, and we’ve poured into ourselves with self-care resources like Sisterhood Heals and Set Boundaries, Find Peace. Now, we’re diving into an emotionally layered novel that speaks directly to the heart of Black womanhood.


This summer, we’re reading Grown Women by Sarai Johnson—a moving story about four generations of Black women navigating love, trauma, motherhood, and the complicated legacy of silence. It’s a celebration of what we carry, what we confront, and what we become when we choose healing over hiding.


Whether you’re new to our book club or returning for another round, there’s a space just for you. Get ready to laugh, cry, reflect, and rise with other women who are walking through their own journeys of becoming.


📖 Sessions begin July 2nd

🕖 Wednesdays at 6:30 PM

📍 Location TBD: Virtual or In-Person? 


Let us know you plan to join us by clicking here to register today!
