I built an Antiracist lending library to help not only educate the community but to support Black authors, Black book stores, provide diverse books of all kinds for the local community.
We believe in the beauty of humanity: colored in every shade and hue, our community includes everyone.
Stories take us to locations and times to give us a new perspective. Books in color add a rich dimension of culture and tradition needed to bridge us as a human race. Understanding breeds Empathy and compassion.
Everyone deserves to see themselves in a book!
representation matters
Memphis children need books as diverse as they are. The more we read and learn, the more we can empathize and love.
We all belong to one another!
