Let’s face it, a lot of great books and authors go unnoticed. I’m working to change that by curating and promoting Black literature that deserves to be seen, discussed, and celebrated. Every recommendation, review, and book club pick is selected with purpose—to create a better, more enriching reading experience for you.
Many readers struggle to find meaningful stories from underrepresented voices, and I aim to make those discoveries easier and more accessible. My goal is to bring powerful Black narratives into the spotlight and build a community that appreciates their value.
