Florida – Laurinda Andujar, a distinguished author, transformational leadership coach, and community advocate, is taking her passion for promoting literacy and leadership to new heights with the launch of the Books and Brunch Book Club. This exciting new venture, aimed at inspiring readers and fostering community connections, will be launching in Florida, in collaboration with Thirty1 Lounge on April 13, 2025.

She has a remarkable track record of helping individuals transform their challenges into opportunities for growth and success. The Books and Brunch Book Club is an extension of her commitment to creating platforms for meaningful dialogue and community engagement.
The Books and Brunch Book Club will feature engaging discussions, author talks, and an opportunity for participants to connect over food and literature. This initiative reflects Laurinda’s belief in the transformative power of reading and the importance of building supportive communities. The event will provide a space for attendees to explore literature while cultivating strong relationships that transcend socio-economic backgrounds and personal challenges.
In addition to her work in promoting literacy, Laurinda is also dedicated to tackling some of society's most pressing issues. She is proud to announce her collaboration with Tonais Exantys, founder of Silent and CEO of Silent Cries Inc., an organization that advocates for individuals affected by domestic violence. This partnership will focus on providing resources and support for men and women in the Florida area, helping them find safety, strength, and healing.
Laurinda's commitment to mental health awareness also led to the upcoming launch of Visions and Vibez in September 2025, an event designed to honor suicide awareness and support mental health initiatives. As a firm believer in emotional intelligence and transformational leadership, Laurinda understands that the intersection of personal and professional development is vital to fostering holistic well-being in individuals.
Her efforts have already earned her recognition from prestigious organizations such as The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, The National Diversity Council, and Barry University. With more than 30 years of leadership experience, Laurinda continues to mentor and inspire individuals from all walks of life, from the C-suite to entry-level associates.

“I’ve spent my life developing leaders, and it’s been my privilege to help people unlock their potential,” Laurinda shares. “Through initiatives like the Books and Brunch Book Club, I aim to create spaces where people can heal, connect, and thrive together. It’s not just about success—it’s about being able to give back to others and empower them to do the same.”
In addition to her ongoing work in community engagement and leadership, Laurinda has also partnered with DJ Kevin Stew on his radio show The Night Shift. This collaboration promotes health and wellness, personal development, and community and finance initiatives on a global scale, helping to connect listeners with valuable resources and opportunities to support financial literacy and community-driven growth.
