Be Empowered: Chapters & Credits

Join us for Chapter and Credit's first Book Month exploring Where Sleeping Girls Lie by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé; a gripping mystery set in an elite boarding school full of secrets.

The story follows Sade Hussein, a new student trying to settle into the prestigious Alfred Nobel Academy. But when a fellow student suddenly disappears, Sade finds herself drawn into a web of hidden truths, unsettling traditions, and long-buried secrets within the school. As she begins to uncover what’s really going on, she’s forced to question who she can trust — and how far she’s willing to go to find the truth.

In this session, we’ll explore the book’s twists and deeper themes together, from power and privilege to identity, belonging, and speaking up. Through discussion and creative activities, there’ll be space to reflect, share perspectives, and connect with others in a relaxed and supportive environment. We’re also incredibly excited to be joined…
