Amplifying

African American stories and BIPOC literature one bro at a time.

Books N Bros is the 1st and only youth led book club for boys to explore stories curated just for them from African American books! Here, our motto is ‘Cool Bros Read’ because through this mission, reading can definitely be cool.

Books N Bros currently has two chapters, based in St. Louis, MO and growing in Atlanta, GA.
