Join us on Wednesday, January 3rd at 5:30 for our next Cactus Book Club. This month’s discussion will be led by FitPOWER. We’re reading The Antiracist Business Book: An Equity Centered Approach to Work, Wealth, and Leadership by Trudi Lebrón. “Unlike any other [business] book on the market, The Antiracist Business Book takes an antiracist perspective. “applies it to how we are doing business—at the top, in the middle, and at the bottom, offering tools for advancement in how we work, earn, and lead. The wisdom inside this timely and essential book advocates for a new order of business that creates transparency, opportunity, and disruption. Businesses can no longer be successful while operating as tools of the status quo”.

Cactus Book Club meets on the first Wednesday of the month from 5:30-7:30 at Cactus Club (in the back venue room or outside patio, weather permitting). Each month a different business, community organization, collective, or artist chooses the book, the bookseller, and leads the discussion. We read fiction and non-fiction, with a focus on works by women, LGBTQ+, POC, and/or otherwise under-published groups. You don’t have to finish reading the book to attend. 18+ All book club meetings are free. No registration required. CBC is part of our ongoing Cactus+ programming.
