“In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.”
― Sheryl Sandberg
Babes + Books is the the official Book Club of Babes Who Hustle. Led by writer and journalist Hurley Winkler and in partnership with Social Grounds Coffee Company, the club includes woman-written and woman-focused pieces of various genres, taking place in cozy coffee shops + venues in various cities around the world. Added bonus? New friendships and networking opportunities.
Our ambassadors are responsible for coordinating club venue locations (this could be a coffee shop, brewery, public library—wherever!), communicating with all members in their area, and leading each of the four discussions (with questions we provide as a guideline.) We are seeking responsible, organized leaders with a voracious love of reading and a heart for their local community.
Interested in being a book club ambassador in your city?
Email Hurley and tell us where you live and why you fit the bill!
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.

Thanks so much to Jason and the team at Social Grounds for being our book club hosts here in JAX and providing a safe, supportive and (and always caffeinated) space for us to conduct our quarterly chapter meetings. Follow them on Instagram @socialgroundscoffee.
