About Us

✨ Black love. Black joy. Black romance. That’s what we celebrate at ReadHer!
Founded in 2021, ReadHer is more than just a book box—it’s a movement. We’re here to spotlight independently published Black romance novels, giving them the shine they deserve while bringing readers the love stories they crave. Because let’s be real—Black romance is unmatched.
Meet the Founder
Hey, I’m Ashley, a first-generation Afro-Latina, lifelong book lover, and founder of ReadHer. After 15 years in higher education, I followed my passion for storytelling and created ReadHer to fill a gap in the literary world. Too often, Black romance gets overlooked, and I wanted to change that. Now, I curate book boxes that put these incredible stories front and center, helping readers discover new authors while supporting indie Black writers.
