Black Readers Meetup

​Connect with other Black readers in NYC! Join us at Liz’s Book Bar—a cozy, Black woman-owned reading lounge—for an intimate evening of books, conversation, and community.

​Bring a book by a Black author or a read that’s shaped your understanding of Black identity, joy, love, or liberation. We’ll swap recs, share reflections, and meet fellow Black readers building their reading lives with depth and intention.

​This gathering is held in partnership with E.N.D. a lifestyle platform committed to celebrating Black rest, imagination, and belonging.

​Facilitator Xenia Holmes: Reader first, community builder always. With 7+ years in education and design, Xenia blends creativity with social impact. As a Direct of Restorative Practices at KIPP NYC, she supports the academic and emotional growth of 300+ young people—and brings that same care to her facilitation style. She creates spaces rooted in curiosity, connection, and brave conversation.
