Knowledge

[close] Each month a theme will be set with a suggested book for each age group (adult, young adult, 8-12 years, young children). You do not have to stick to your age group, it's just to provide a little something for everyone. Some months adult themes may be included, there will be a warning given prior if this is the case. If you add a book to the tbr please let a moderator know the key themes, genres and age range that it falls under.

[close] Friends of OnePercentBetter convene to immerse themselves in classics that may challenge the foundations of their lives. This club is not for the faint of heart.

[close] Black Fly on The Wall: The ability for an individual to listen to the perspectives provided by those of common and ulterior knowledge in order to gain a new perspective on current events and societal norms that affect the Africans in America communities. Synonyms: The ability to listen to others conversations; perspective; constructive listening to gain knowledge. Imagine being a fly on the wall during conversations that you may not typically hear BLACK men speak about publically. Breaking down the barriers of emotional enslavement, a group of young BLACK men discuss Love, Communication, Self Love, Emotional Stability, Gentrification, Police Brutality, Hip Hop and several other topics. Grab a seat, or a spot on the wall, as we discuss the paradigms of Life, Growth, and Mistakes. The Black Fly on The Wall Book club is intended to educate and dissimenate knowledge gain through reading. As we read as a group, we will dive into discussions that will not only help ourselves grow but others that are on the same journey.

[close] The goal is to read a book a month. Ideally, the books presented should be one that: A. You want to read B. A book on a topic you enjoy and C. (For bonus points but not required) something that challenges you to view the world in a different light. With the help of all the club members I have no doubt that each month will have a thrilling/thought provoking book.
