“Becoming isn’t a finish line, it’s a return. It’s finding the courage to meet yourself where you are and still choose growth. That’s what negrowish is about — the in-between of becoming, healing, and redefining what success means on your own terms.”
Obye Bayard, Founder

negrowish bookclub
a space for the books that are shaping me, challenging me, unsettling me, or reminding me who i am. here, we read slowly. we underline. we reread sentences that feel like mirrors. this isn’t about racing to the last page — it’s about letting the words stay with us and shift something when they land.
this bookclub is also about community — a place for those who see themselves in negrowish, who know what it feels like to be becoming, unraveling, rebuilding, and reaching for language that holds us.
welcome to the conversation. welcome to the journey. welcome home.
