Homegirl Talk Must-Read Books for Women by Women

Here at Homegirl Talk we interview women from all walks of life and from all over the world. But no matter who they are, where they come from or what they do, there is one thing they all have in common: They want to encourage, inspire, inform and empower other women.

And some of these women we interview also write books so that you can gain even more insight and learn important techniques that will help you live your best life.

To find the book that speaks to you and your particular interests, struggles or needs, take a look at the reading list below featuring some of our favorite Homegirl Talk guests and authors.

This list will continue to grow as we interview more women for Homegirl Talk. If you have a recommendation or have written a book yourself that you’d like to share, please reach out to us through our contact page or simply click on ADD YOUR STORY at the top of the page.
