Blossoms Mother-Daughter Reading Club

“Blossoms” are the daughters of “Magnolias”, women who lead the village.

The Magnolia Literacy Project’s (MLP) Blossoms Mother-Daughter Reading Club fosters voice, agency, and self-confidence while preparing young women to be advocates in their communities. In bi-weekly workshops, female Gen-Z'ers collaborate with their mothers while reading and discussing texts centered on girlhood, womanhood, and their unique cultural experiences. This initiative is sponsored by the Mississippi Humanities Council.
