Y'all know I'm not a Kindle girly yet, I’m still pushing paperbacks round town. So when I finally found @lovecorinemarie after swooning over these bookmark purses for months, I couldn't leave without buying one and I already placed my order for more! Shoutout to @tinishar for catching me and my fav @kennedyryan1 at the end. 🫶🏾 @lovecorinemarie you got it sis!

The funniest part about Silent Parties are the recap videos 😂 trust me there’s a party in those headphones.
You just gotta be there! We throw multi dj silent parties over here. Music playing overhead in the game room and music playing through your headphones. If you don’t like what’s being played just: 🎧 Switch the channel to 🎶 Change the vibe, all while playing games & grooving on the same dance floor 💃🏽

It’s baby’s first B&N Signing!
Hey y’all!! Come out on May 9th at 2 pm at Barnes and Noble Perimeter @bnperimeter for my first in store signing! Co-hosted by @thecuteconnect
It’s your chance before BRBF to get your books signed, take pics and get into a lil discussion about the Boss Chicks books!
See the info in my 🔗 on my profile! Hope to see you all there!
The Cute Connect is an open forum Bookclub because I genuinely love meeting new people and reading different genres. Every single book event brings a new face, a fresh perspective, and debatable and relatable conversations.
But do you know what I love even more than that? The unwavering support of my closest college friends. The ones who show up early, help set up and break down, fill in when and wherever needed and surprise me with the cutest bookish goodies (pictured).
Lease & Reese, Thank you for being my village. Because being an entrepreneur really does feel like raising a new baby… and y’all have been right here with me every step of the way building and enjoying this beautiful book community. #appreciationpost #blackgirlsread #Atlantabookclub
Community really is everything 🤎
And ours? It’s black girl magic—made possible by this incredible group of readers and writers who showed up, shared, and poured into one another at our Writers Roundtable.
Hosted by The Cute Connect x @purplepeacockpress , with special guest Megan Spann @shewriteseverything87 of @draft2digital .
At The Cute Connect, we believe magic happens when readers and writers share space, ideas, and inspiration. Our Writers roundtables is your chance to connect with fellow creatives, talk about the writing journey, exchange insights, and spark new ideas in the warm, welcoming atmosphere our community is known for.
Thank you to all who participated, attended, asked questions, shared information and dropped in just because they saw a group of Black women gathering in the library.
✨Slide two is my mantra for the year baby! There’s something powerful about being in a room full of people who get it.
To be completely honest - living in the moment is always the goal… but some moments deserve to be shared 🤎
Last night’s book club... I’m still chuckling and adding books to my hoopla hold. This is just a glimpse of the sisterhood, the laughter, the “wait let me add that to my TBR” energy, and the kind of conversations that turn strangers, into safe spaces.
If you’ve been looking for your people, your next favorite read, or just a room full of genuine vibes and honest reviews… this is your sign.
Come see what it feels like to be in the room with us. Thank you to those pictured and the hundreds other book lovers to grace Readers & Rita’s - The Cute Connect bookclub dinner, each month. @mslisa_pisa@goldenaura444@mmm_hisfavorite@tinishar@hara.woo@myaddictions22 and to the highlight of the videos @shesaschaher ❤️
