SUMMARY:HYBRID: Social Justice Book Group: Bright Red Fruit
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis month we will discuss Bright Red Fruit by Safia 
 Elhillo. \n\n You can request this title from our catalog. \n\nAbout the 
 book:\n\nBad girl. No matter how hard Samira tries\, she can’t shake her 
 reputation. She’s never gotten the benefit of the doubt—not from her 
 mother or the aunties who watch her like a hawk.Samira is determined to 
 have a perfect summer filled with fun parties\, exploring DC\, and growing 
 as a poet—until a scandalous rumor has her grounded and unable to leave 
 her house. When Samira turns to a poetry forum for solace\, she catches the 
 eye of an older\, charismatic poet named Horus. For the first time\, Samira 
 feels wanted. But soon she’s keeping a bigger secret than ever 
 before—one that that could prove her reputation and jeopardize her place 
 in her community.In this gripping coming-of-age novel from the critically 
 acclaimed author Safia Elhillo\, a young woman searches to find the balance 
 between honoring her family\, her artistry\, and her authentic 
 self.\n\n\nWe strive to learn more about the world outside our own bubbles. 
 We read both nonfiction and fiction on timely topics and in our discussions 
 try to challenge our own assumptions without judging one another.\n\n\nJoin 
 us on Zoom! \n\nWe will be hosting a hybrid meeting\, so you can also 
 attend in person in the Watson Room at Forbes. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom
