Welcome to Books & Lady Bosses: MI ATHENA’s Empowering Book Club

At MI ATHENA, we’re always seeking new ways to inspire, connect and grow together. That’s why we’re excited to announce Books & Lady Bosses, an exclusive book club for MI ATHENA members. Designed to spark thought-provoking discussions and provide meaningful takeaways, this quarterly book club is the perfect way to dive into stories that inspire and challenge us as leaders.

Our First Read: Worthy by Jamie Kern Lima

We’re kicking off with Jamie Kern Lima’s powerful memoir, Worthy. In this book, the IT Cosmetics founder shares her journey of perseverance, self-doubt, and success, offering invaluable lessons in leadership, resilience and staying true to your purpose.

How It Works:

  • Quarterly Book Selections: We’ll feature a mix of nonfiction and fiction books, each with strong female voices or characters.
  • Weekly Primer Questions: To guide your reading, we’ll send questions each week via email and post them in our MI ATHENA Alliance online community. These are designed to spark collaborative discussions, share insights and connect with fellow members.
  • Engage & Share: Dive into the conversation, share your reflections, and gain new perspectives in a supportive community of like-minded women.

Start Today!

Grab your copy of Worthy — whether it’s from a local bookstore, an online retailer  or downloaded to your Kindle — and join us as we read and discuss through January. Together, let’s turn the final weeks of 2024 and first weeks of 2025 into a time of personal and professional growth.

Stay tuned for updates and get ready to connect with the stories — and each other — through Books & Lady Bosses!
