Black Girls Lit!

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 t...

The revolution isn’t over—but the vibes have definitely shifted.

In this sixth episode of Black Girls Lit!, the hosts return with our special guest and now rotating co-host, Stephanie, to continue unraveling Tomi Adeyemi’s Legacy of Orïsha series. After falling hard for Children of Blood and Bone, our follow-up read—Children of Virtue and Vengeance—stirred up more questions than we expected. This time, the magic feels heavier, the a...

Magic has a price. And in our fifth episode, we begin to understand just how high that cost can be.

The Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi is the first book of the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy that we ever cracked open—and it did not hold back. This West African-inspired fantasy pulled us into a world that felt both mythical and mirror-like, reflecting real struggles through richly imagined lands, lineage, and loss.

In this week’s Black Girls Lit! pour, your favorite lit crew — Lex, Natasha, and Star — crack open Wish You Had Told Me by Zina Patel, and whew… the silence speaks loud in this one.

This episode is a toast and a warning — because sometimes it’s not the knife in your back that hurts, it’s the friend holding it. The ladies dive deep into the novel’s haunting friendship secrets, the weight of untold truths, and the real-life reminder t...

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...

Pour something silky and press play, because this 57-minute ride is draped in satin and soaked in real talk. Zane’s no-holds-barred tale of passion, power plays, and second chances has the Black Girls Lit! crew in their feelings—and their fantasies—as they dissect how love and lust can cradle the heart or crush it. Lex, Natasha, Nicole, and Star waste no time rating the spice level, swapping “been-there” stories, and dropping the k...

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...
