“Denouncing white supremacy means that I will no longer be supreme… means I will talk less as the dominant power in the room.”

✍️ Pink Crime explores how rigid ideas about gender shape who is punished and who (or what) is protected. Thank you @KoaBeck for your thoughtful endorsement. 🩷

For July we're pulling no punches as we read:

#WhiteFeminism by @koabeck

Beck doesn’t just critique, she names names, charts the history, and shows how white-centered feminism has overshadowed and undermined the movements built by women of colour for generations. This is a call to get uncomfortable, ask better questions, and reclaim feminism as a collective.

If you’re ready to join the conversation and challenge the narratives that dominate society, then we're the bookclub for you.

Bring your honesty, your solidarity, and your willingness to dig deeper.

The book club will be hosted at 12pm on 12/JUL/2026 at:

The Yard Coffee, 1A, Pivotal House, Red Lion St, Norwich NR1 3TB

• The venue is wheelchair accessible.
• If the event is full but you’d still like to attend, feel free to email us to check for extra availability.

if you have any questions, contact is at: FeministBookClub@Hotmail.com

Pub day eve was a movie!!! So happy @lindseybyrnes took these photos because it felt like a BLUR. Thank you to @skylightbooks for hosting us and @kendahllandreth for being such a good convo partner. Thank you to everyone who missed Loved Island to stay out late on a Monday for our sexy little after party. This was so fun, and I am too tired to describe it further. The blazer is from @lidowarchive because I had a last minute fashion emergency and she saved my life! We are in Boston now, hope to see you tonight 💜💜💜

SF & LA, thank you! Wrapped up book tour with these incredible events hosted by @greenapplebooksonthepark, @karjohnsonwrites, and @skylightbooks with @savalanolan and @koabeck. It’s been a whirlwind couple days, including a rare childless 24 hours in LA with this person I love so very much. Feeling grateful for writers and readers and deep thinkers. Also: bookstores, creative community, and meeting internet friends irl. Yay! Time for a nap.

I am VERY excited for all these events—hope to see you soon! I couldn’t ask for better conversation partners for this book, MY MOTHER’S DAUGHTER, which comes out May 5. It’s a memoir about how a DNA test connected me with my sister Kathy, who my mom placed for adoption 20 years before I was born. I started asking questions about what happened back in 1965 and stumbled on a bigger story about shame, family secrets, race, the control of women’s bodies, and everything that we inherit from our mothers in a world that hates them.

It’s gonna be deep and wide-ranging and probably a little emotional and definitely celebratory. Can’t wait to say hi, hear everyone’s family stories, sign some books, and try to make my signature legible. Tap the link in bio to preorder and grab tix for an event (RSVP recommended)! ❤️

How does the way we think of modern day influencers relate to the Valley girl stereotype? Journalist and author @koabeck explains the relationship. Available wherever you get your podcasts. Link in bio!
