Our Story

Believe Bookclub began in 2023 in Basildon, Essex, bringing together a small group of women seeking connection through reading.

What started as a local meal is growing into a UK and international community, connecting women across different backgrounds through a shared desire for:

reading relatable books
deeper conversations
personal growth

To ‘believe’ is to trust deeply—in God, yourself, in others, and in the possibility of something greater, even when you can’t yet see it.

BOOK BRUNCH WITH BOLA SOL

EMPOWER YOUR MONEY STORY WITH BOLA SOL

Women in and around Essex came to dine with Bola Sol, Author of ‘Your Money Story’. Her book was publish in August 2024 and we had the privilege of meeting her, being some of the first purchasers of the new release and learning about her money story. Women’s Financial Wellbeing were empowered and enriched on Sep 28th 2024.

The Book brunch was hosted by Sarah Utsaghan and supported by Believe Bookclub members. Sarah had a mission to gather and support black women’s mental and financial wellbeing over a meal in Basildon, Essex. Bola is also a graduate of the University of Essex, making the time spent a full circle moment with women in Essex.

BELIEVE MINDSET COURSES

Many women struggle not because they lack ability, but because they are living from unexamined, inherited, or limiting beliefs that quietly shape their identity and behaviour.

This course will help you:

Understand what belief really is
Identify the beliefs currently shaping your life
Learn how beliefs are formed and reinforced
Recognise what is blocking transformation
Build a new belief system rooted in truth, clarity and identity
