Flooding the Water

Book Chat

Black Girls Who Write invites you to an intimate conversation with Kehinde Winful, author of Flooding the River. This novel takes us deep into the heart of love’s complexities through the eyes of Lolah, a Nigerian American woman caught between two loves and the weight of generational expectations. Kehinde masterfully explores what it means to choose yourself while honoring the love and lessons passed down through family. Join us as we unpack the beauty, heartbreak, and triumph of love in its many forms.
