Celebrating Diversity at BRAE 2025: The Black Readers Appreciation Event

Good morning!

The Black Readers Appreciation Event (BRAE) 2025 is starting today! This annual gathering honors Black literature and the voices that shape it. By fostering community, promoting diverse authors, and encouraging a love for reading, BRAE 2025 promises to be an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

I’m excited to be apart of this event for the third year! It’s amazing to be be included with so many amazing authors, which this year, it’s no different in bringing the best literature in the next few days.

The Importance of Representation in Literature

Representation matters. Stories shape our understanding of culture and identity, and it is vital that all voices are heard. BRAE 2025 seeks to highlight the contributions of Black authors and the unique perspectives they bring to the literary landscape.

BRAE 2025 not only celebrates established authors but also provides a platform for emerging voices. This event emphasizes that literature can inspire and empower future generations of readers and writers.

Starting today and continuing through Saturday, both My Heart Belongs To You and The Secrets We Keep will be available for free. If you haven’t read either book yet, this is the perfect opportunity to grab them!
