The 3rd Annual Black Girl Book Fair In Charlotte: Press-Ons and Portraits

Missed us last year? The Black Girl Book Fair is back for the third year in a row! This year is BIGGER. BETTER. BLKGRL. Enjoy a lazy Sunday at the only book fair you can leave with a new read, a fresh set, and a Black therapist. You’ll get a stress score, stress-relief from self-care workshops, and self-care products and resources from BLKGRL-owned businesses! The Black Girl Book Fair is big enough to meet new people, but intimate enough to remember names. It's going to be a much needed day of relaxation, discovering Black women authors and therapists, and healing with your homegirls. Must be 21+ or accompanied by a person 21+.
