Black Girls Lit!

Sugar Hill looks like paradise until you notice how quiet the threats are. We’re pouring Yah Yah Cognac and getting into The Great Mann by Kyra Davis Lurie, a sharp, stylish reimagining of Gatsby set inside Black Los Angeles in 1945, where Charlie Trammell arrives fresh from a segregated war and finds himself pulled into a world of Black affluence, ambition, and secrets. Between boarding houses, an insurance job, and the gravity of the mysterious Reaper Mann, the parties glitter, but the stak...

We’ve come to the end—but this one didn’t go quietly. In the final episode of our Legacy of Orïsha series, we dive into Children of Anguish and Anarchy by Tomi Adeyemi—and it’s a whirlwind from beginning to end. From explosive pacing to emotional swings, Book 3 pushed us all in different directions. Some of us closed the book... let’s just say, with more feelings than fulfillment. And yes, a little heat came through the mic as we tried to process what really landed—and what left us aski...

With this book, everything changed. We didn’t just enter a story—we enter...

This pour hits different. We’re diving into The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah—a story of two sisters just trying to survive Nazi-occupied France in their own powerful (and very different) ways. In this episode, we’re talking about quiet strength, the weight of sacrifice, and how women have always been the backbone of resistance—even when nobody was watching. Expect some deep sips, a few unexpected laughs, and a lot of “whew” moments as we pull the layers back on love, war, and what it really ...

In our very first pour, we’re diving into Let Them by Mel Robbins — a short but powerful read that had us all rethinking how we respond to judgment, rejection, and other people’s opinions. With cocktails in hand and truth on our tongues, we’re talking boundaries, freedom, and what it really means to let go and live unbothered. Tune in for laughs, real talk, and a whole lot of “YES, girl!” energy. This one’s for anyone who’s tired of explaining themselves — and ready to let them... whatever. C...
