About Us

While completing a doctoral program in the midst of a global pandemic, our founder found herself yearning for ways to connect with her friends and family. So much of life takes place in the  confines of our own consciousness, so community can sometimes be our saving grace. 

​

While trying to unwind from a long day at the lab over a glass of wine and a good book, the idea for this book club came to club founder Zanshé Thompson. She gathered her tribe of driven, career focused African-American Women and began the Words and Wines book club.

 

Monthly, the group chooses a book and a type of wine to explore. All book genres are accepted and there is some emphasis placed on highlighting the works of minority authors. During the monthly virtual meeting, we discuss our favorite wines and take-aways from the book. 

​

This community shares meaningful connections with the stories and each other. We hope that Words and Wines sparks thought, joy, and conversation online and in real life. Join the conversation @wordsandwines_bookclub across social media or subscribe below.
