Thank you much to CiCi Adams for writing this gorgeous thoughtful piece on The Free Black Women’s Library for O, The Oprah Magazine!!
My Patreon Page is up!!
Happy June Bbs!!
I have started a Patreon page for those who would like to become a part of making The Free Black Women’s Library more sustainable.
Although this project is a sincere labor of love it is also time consuming and costly to maintain so I’m inviting you to invest in its growth and success.
All patrons will receive access to lots of fun nerdy artsy content related to Black women’s literature which will include top notch book lists, monthly audio or video book discussions and reviews, writing prompts, author interviews, artsy merchandise, audio and video readings, lesson plans/workshops for scholars and educators, and anything else my mind dreams up.
You can subscribe and have access to all the content for a little as two dollars a month!!
My goal is to gather enough subscriptions that add up to $1500 a month.
All funds will be used to cover the cost of the mobile Library’s transportation, storage rental, labor and administrative support.
Please feel free to share the link with others who might be interested!
Thank you so much!!

TBT to the Free Black Women’s Library session summer 2016, celebrating Black Women’s Literature on a Brooklyn stoop, we talked about gentrification and the myth of safe spaces. The library now has three times this many books, (almost one thousand)
it’s a bit overwhelming but I’m enjoying the ride regardless!! Stop by Sunday January 28th, from noon to 5 to check out the collection. Bring a good book written by a Black woman to get one.
