Thursday, September 24, 2026, 11:00 PM - 1:00 AM · Gladys Books & Wine, Bed-Stuy + Clinton Hill, New York City
Therapist Aseanté Renee leads a monthly journaling check-in for the 'strong friends' at Gladys Books & Wine on September 24th. Sliding-scale tickets ($10-$15) benefit Susu House, a community fund supporting Black women seeking employment.
A bookstore and wine lounge where Black queer and feminist literature shares the counter with natural wine, both chosen with serious care. Author events, film theory workshops, and community salons fill the calendar most evenings, making it the kind of place people come to linger rather than browse.
