More than a bookstore - A revisit
Listen now!
This isn’t just about books. It’s about belonging!
I'm Ama-Robin, your sistah-host on this storytelling journey.
This week, I’m returning to a special episode--and community favorite!-- from the archives about that special feeling we experience in a Black bookstore: the reminder that we are never alone.
In this story, we will step inside a Black-owned bookstore. Feel the warmth. Hear the conversations. Smell the books and the spice of chai in the air. This isn’t just a shop—it’s a sanctuary, a meeting place, a revolution in the making. In this story-driven episode, I take you inside a Black bookstore where knowledge is resistance, elders share wisdom, and a single quote can change everything.
Let’s explore what makes Black bookstores more than just a bookstore—they are home.
And yes, a Black Bookstore is waiting for you in YAIT Town.
As you listen, I’d love to know: What’s a Black book, author, or bookstore that has held you, taught you, or carried you through? Share your reflections with me on [Substack link] or [Instagram link] so we can keep building our library of love and resistance together.
