Led by Community. Rooted in Story.
Kinfolk Media Group is proud to introduce Black Book Bash (B3). B3 is a literary family reunion — part celebration, part homecoming, and all Black joy. Born from the brilliance of Black Book Threads, Black Bookstagram, and Black BookTok, B3 brings readers, authors, and influencers together in real life for three unforgettable days of storytelling, laughter, and love.
We’re not just building a festival. We’re building a community. A cookout with books. A weekend where every panel feels like a porch conversation and every meet & greet feels like meeting your cousin’s cousin you’ve been following for years.
Jacksonville, FL | October 3–5, 2025.
3 Days. 6 Genres. A Whole Vibe.
This is Black Book Bash.
Kinfolk Media Group
Kinfolk Media Group exists to amplify Black voices, stories, and communities through innovative literary and cultural experiences.
We believe books are more than stories — they are pathways to identity, joy, and liberation. Our mission is to build platforms that center Black authors and readers, while bridging the gap between publishers, influencers, and audiences.
From flagship events like Black Book Bash to year-round initiatives, Kinfolk Media Group creates spaces that feel like family reunions — rooted in culture, celebration, and connection. By combining community-driven energy with industry expertise, we are redefining how Black literature is celebrated, marketed, and sustained.
Proud producers of Black Book Bash — the literary family reunion we’ve been waiting for.
