This month at Zeda Book Club, we’re diving into All About Love: New Visions by the legendary bell hooks, powerful, perspective-shifting read that feels especially fitting for the month of love.
In true hooks fashion, this book invites us to radically rethink love, not just as romance, but as a vital force that shapes how we show up in the world. Through eleven thoughtful chapters, hooks explores how our earliest experiences shape our capacity to give and receive love, and how so many of us are navigating relationships with broken blueprints.
She redefines love as an active practice rooted in honesty, care, trust, and accountability, challenging the tired myths we’ve been handed and offering new ways to connect deeply with ourselves and others. From self-love to community care, from loss to liberation, hooks reminds us that love is political, transformative, and necessary.
Whether you’re revisiting her work or meeting her voice for the first time, All About Love is a must-read. It’s the kind of book that lingers, opening your heart while sharpening your mind. A love letter, a mirror, a call to action. Let’s read, reflect, and talk about what it means to love boldly and intentionally.
Zeda Book Club is open to women to join. We café hop and read a new book every month. We meet on the first Sunday of each month in Nairobi. Join the group here. Happy reading!
