Black Community Book Social: Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi (Part 3)

To wrap up our three-part residency at the Black Cultural Centre, we’re sitting down to talk about a story that spans generations: Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing.

Following our social and our swap, we’re moving into the deep-dive. This isn't a literature seminar or a graded discussion. There are no "experts" in the room—just us, breaking down a book that touches on family, history, and the threads that connect us.

The Vibe:

• Open & Honest: We’re here to talk about the themes of roots, legacy, and survival. Whether the book left you with questions or big feelings, this is the space for it.
• Low Pressure: Haven’t quite finished the last chapter? Come anyway. There’s no judgment here—we’re talking about the big picture and the impact of the journey.
• Community-Led: A space to listen to each other and see how these stories mirror our own experiences.
