Support the Black Literary Community

BEM Books & More is currently a digital-only destination, but its founders are making plans to make it a literary and culinary hub in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn! The only US bookstore with a focus on elevating the African diaspora's culinary traditions, this sista-sister run store is sure to be a destination... if they can raise enough in their kickstarter campaign! Check it out!

Buffalo-based Zawadi Books is owned by legendary couple Sharon and Kenneth Holley, long-time bookstore owners, literary advocates, and activists. They've been tremendous supporters of Alliah's recent literary endeavors, and she fondly remembers shopping at Harambee, one of their earlier bookstores, when she was a child. 

Black Creators HQ is a community of authors and illustrators with one core mission: to share our talents and create stories that increase Black representation across all genres of literature.
