About SISTAS READ Book Club, Inc.
Welcome to SISTAS READ, INC., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that’s all about empowering women through the love of books and the power of sisterhood. We’re more than just a book club—we’re a community of strong, sophisticated, and trailblazing women who come together to grow in every aspect of our lives, from the personal to the professional.
Our Mission
At SISTAS READ, we know that words have the power to change lives. Our mission is to create a space where women can come together, dream bigger, and walk into their visions with confidence. We’re here to uplift, empower, and help each other push past the fear and excuses that might hold us back, so we can step fully into our purpose.
Our Founder
Our founder, Lateshia Lane, is a proud Georgia native and a woman with a heart for giving. During a difficult time fighting COVID-19, Lateshia saw a need—a need for a safe, uplifting space where women of all shades of melanin could connect, share, and support one another. Out of that vision, SISTAS READ was born. It’s a haven where we build bonds, lift each other up, and encourage every sister to be her best self.
A Message from the SISTAS READ FOUNDER:
“It warms my heart to see the bonds and connections that have manifested in this amazing Book Club. In a society that says that we, as a race of people can’t uplift each other, I am pleased to have established a haven and safe space that promotes a relatable experience in a comfortable environment and an amazing hug.”
Sincerely,
Lateishia Lane

Our Book Club Experience
SISTAS READ meets every Thursday from 7:30-9:00 PM EST, right from the comfort of your home. Our sessions are filled with meaningful discussions, shared wisdom, and lots of love and support. We kick off each meeting with a prayer, dive into the current book, and end with our affirmation and another prayer to send us off empowered and inspired.
We also hold monthly Wellness Check-Ins—short, sweet, and all about connecting with our sisters, sharing what’s on our hearts, and offering a virtual hug when it’s needed most.
