Dignity, connection and community through books and creative writing for women at Rikers Jail

Rosebuds Reading Collective s a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that believes in the healing power of books. We create a consistent and welcoming space where women can read, reflect, write, and build community through shared stories.

The program centers women’s voices and experiences through monthly book clubs, facilitated discussions, and creative writing workshops. Participants explore themes such as identity, resilience, education, addiction, and personal growth.
