ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½

Mosaic Book Club will be discussing KIN by Tayari Jones starting September 9, 2026.

In the second Mosaic Book Club selection, KIN by Tayari Jones, we follow childhood best friends Vernice and Annie, who take starkly different paths into adulthood. Vernice leaves for Spelman College and marries into an affluent family, while Annie embarks on a perilous quest to find the mother who abandoned her. Kin is an emotionally rich story of sisterhood, mother-daughter bonds, and survival in the American South.

The Mosaic Book Club provides an inclusive and affirming space for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumni to engage in meaningful dialogue and lifelong learning. This club directly advances the mission of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Alumni Mosaic by strengthening community among alumni of color, LGBTQIA+ alumni, first-generation alumni, international alumni, and those who support and identify with these experiences.

Through shared reading and intentional conversation, we explore diverse narratives, deepen our understanding of varied perspectives, and build lasting connections across the Bobcat network.

Registration is required for each book cycle. Upon registration, you will receive all meeting details, discussion materials, and access information.

ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Alumni Mosaic offers opportunities for alumni to connect both within and across the diverse identities and lived experiences that shape the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community. Mosaic is grounded in the belief that affinity spaces are a vital part of fostering belonging, strengthening the alumni community, and cultivating lifelong ties to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. Mosaic events provide intentional space for Black, Indigenous, and Alumni of Color, as well as LGBTQ+, first-generation-to-college, and international alumni to build lasting relationships that extend beyond their time at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½.
