CHAPTERS is a series of book-led discussions on modern adulting. For our fourth CHAPTER, this November, we have chosen the theme of Masculinity.
November is a weird month...the evenings are dark, effigies of Guy Fawkes are being burnt & people are hustling their way out of this decade. In addition to this, men have been charitably shaving their beards into questionable moustaches.
We will discuss the gendered narrative behind emotional expression, physicality, household roles and monetary expectations.
We have chosen excerpts that will explore all these and more. Some you will expect & some you won't.
We have curated a stimulating event that will begin with a surprise session. After this, we will break up into small groups led by your bookclub hosts.
No need to prepare or bring any thing to the sessions! Refreshments provided as always. Photos will be taken on the day.
Amile is our resident doctor! She’s pretty nifty with the graphics for our Instagram feed & started reviewing books as a way to force herself back into reading after only picking up medical textbooks at university. As you can see, the plan worked. Amile is a big believer in community and working as a team. She loves reading inspirational biographies & contemporary African lit.
A true entrepreneur, Daniella not only works for herself, but also helps others develop their businesses and personal brands. She's a kind, savvy and no-nonsense type of gal. If that wasn't enough, she's also a vegan, teaches Pilates and has flawless skin. Her favourite genre of books, of course, are business and self development.
Louisa works for one of the Big Four, but is not your Average Corporate Gal. In fact, she’s the go-to for wisdom and affirmations in the group chat. She’ll be the first to look polished and glam, but will also be the first to question and disrupt the status quo. Her favourite genre of books are business and academic sociology. When she's not busy at the Wharf, she's somewhere hosting a dinner party or playing her violin.
