Junction Cafe: All about Books, Media, Society & Romance

Junction Cafe is a space crafted by a reader for other readers, in hopes of creating a community where we can learn, read & think. Hosted by Leslie, this space is dedicated to diversity (in authors, characters genres, etc...) and to the stories and books that aren"t being told. You can expect bi-monthly episodes that tackle, tropes and cliches as well as book recommendations. For the introspective folks who love reading, curating and yapping! Grab a seat and a drink let"s chat!
