About Us

Brilliant Brown Boys Book Club was founded by Chez Smith and is based in Chicago. Chez noticed that boys were not encouraged to read as often as girls and that reading often seemed like a punishment. Even with her own son. She decided to create Brilliant Brown Boys Book Club in an effort to boost boys reading confidence, by bringing them todgether to read and discuss ideas. Chez is a committed and dedicated youth advocate.

 

The Brilliant Brown Boys Book Club Sessions are facilitated by two of Chicago's well respected male educators. Participants will have a great time interacting with them while unknowingly getting a glimpse of Brilliant Brown Men in action.
