Black Girls Lit!
The Tenth Pour: An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
Ten episodes in—and this one’s a celebration.
Black Girls Lit! has officially reached double digits, and we’re raising a glass to the journey. Through every laugh, debate, page-turn, and pause for refills, we’ve built something rooted, reflective, and here to stay.
For this milestone moment, we chose An American Marriage by Tayari Jones—a story that stirs up real questions about loyalty, timing, systems, and love under pressure. It’s intimate, it’s complex, and it felt like the perfect mirror for this episode’s deeper layer: our girl Lex is getting married.
As she is stepping into a new season of love, we reflect on the nature of commitment—what holds people together, what pulls them apart, and what it takes to love through transition.
Our spirit of choice is wine, and we’re sipping the bold and balanced Kalimotxo—a red wine and cola cocktail with surprising depth, just like the story we’re unpacking.
Here’s to Lex. Here’s to Black women in love. Here’s to storytelling that lingers. And here’s to ten episodes in—with so much more to come. Also, here's to our girl, Nicole turning 40!!
Come for the book. Stay for the conversation. 💫
