The pandemic may have slowed down many things, but it did not stop amazing books from coming our way. The following is a list of 10 must-read books by black female authors that should be on your summer reading list radar.
We Should All Be Millionaires (Rachel Rodgers)
We Should all be Millionaires, a Wall Street Journal best-seller, aims to change the way women think about money and their ability to earn it. Rachel Rodgers is a CEO, business coach, mother, wife and intellectual property lawyer who founded Hello Seven to help women scale their businesses and get their earnings to 7-figures without sacrificing their families or their sanity.
With a 4.6/5 rating on Good Reads, a 5/5 on Barnes & Noble, a 5 star rating on Amazon and a 4.9/5 on Audible, it’s safe to say, we aren’t the only ones digging this one!

Professional Troublemaker (Luvvie Ajayi Jones)
If overcoming your fears to achieve your goals is the mission, let’s call Luvvie Ajayi Jones the mission controller. But, you know, a cool one — the type who makes you laugh, while barking orders and reading you for filth. Prepare to be motivated into action and laugh until your sides hurt.
Ajayi Jones is a 2x New York Times Best-selling author, a podcast host, keynote speaker (who slayed the TED stage), certified sneaker-head and a hilariously witty “Professional Troublemaker” who doesn’t hold her tongue. Read her book Professional Troublemaker: The Fear-Fighter Manual then go grab her first one, I’m Judging You: The Do Better Manual. You can thank us later.
Wings of Ebony (J. Elle)
If you want to escape reality for a bit (we don’t blame you!), this instant New York Times best-selling fantasy novel may be the one for you. In this entrancing, powerfully moving debut, a Black teen from Houston has her world turned upside down when she learns about her godly ancestry and has to save both the god and human worlds.
In Wings of Ebony, Rue, the protagonist, is the only half-god, half-human in her world. A world where the “leaders protect their magical powers at all costs and thrive on human suffering.”
