5 Years of She Well Read: A Journey Through Our Favorite Moments

Hey, Well Read Baddies! 🎉✨

Can you believe it’s been 5 years since we started this amazing journey together? Time flies when you’re having fun, and we’ve certainly had a blast sharing our journey of getting back into reading with all of you.

As we celebrate this milestone, we wanted to take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of our favorite moments from the podcast.

Our First Episode: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship

We’ll never forget our very first episode. We were so nervous yet excited to finally share our passion for reading while also getting back into reading with the world.

It was the start of something truly special, and the feedback we received from you all was incredibly encouraging.

Memorable Guests and Special Minisodes

Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting some fantastic guests who brought their unique perspectives and insights to our discussions. From authors like Kayleen Schaefer (Text Me When You Get Home) to influencers and fellow book lovers, each guest has added something special to the podcast.

We’re also incredibly proud of our #Black365 and #Pride365 minisodes, where we celebrate Black voices and LGBTQ+ stories all year round. These minisodes have allowed us to highlight important narratives and provide a platform for underrepresented voices, making our podcast more inclusive and enriching.

Listener Stories and Feedback

One of the most rewarding aspects of this journey has been hearing from our listeners. We’ve received so many heartwarming messages about how the podcast has reignited your love for reading. Here’s a message we received from a listener all the way in Belgium!!

Hey Alana and Samra, I just want to say your podcast is one of the few on my daily rotation...I live in Belgium so finding a book club catered to black women that discuss books I'm actually interested in is very rare. So I just wanted to say thank you and keep doing what you do 💗😌 big love

We’re international y’all!! 

Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. Here’s to many more years of She Well Read!

XOXO,
Lana and Sam
