African Bookworm
African Bookworm is a book club and literary endeavor founded by Tapsy Gomwalk in 2021.
We celebrate and nurture the richness of African literature by reading one novel each month—spanning a diverse range of genres, eras, and voices from across the continent. Our monthly discussions not only unpack the narratives and themes of these works, but also serve as a platform for deeper conversations about African values, philosophy, art, and identity.
More than a reading group, African Bookworm is a community dedicated to nurturing Afro-consciousness and celebrating the authority of African thought leadership. We see literature as a gateway to exploring and expanding cultural narratives, challenging conventional perspectives, and working towards an evolved vision of the future for our continent.
Join us as we journey through stories that inspire, provoke, and transform, making every page a stepping stone towards a better society.
