#supportblackownedbookstores ✊🏾 Repost @onyxxbookstorecafe ・・・ For over 30 plus years I wanted to own a Bookstore Cafe and in February of 2020 I fulfilled that dream. We were opened for 3 weeks before Covid hit. Didn't see that coming but thankfully we made it through. It's been some highs and lows. The community has been very supportive but we're needing some help keeping our doors open. The increase in cost of goods and being able to pay our overhead has been difficult. We would love to continue to be a source for our community and provide job opportunities for the youth. In order to be able to do this we need your help. Any amount will help us greatly. 🖤 http://spot.fund/KeepOnyxBookstoreCafeOpen (#linkinbio) -#onyxbookstorecafe ・・・ #vibewise: please support our brothers and sisters with brick-and-mortar locations. as #readingisarevolutionaryact and #imrootingforeverybodyblack , all that i ask is that you #turnupabook and mute your tell-lie-vision stations. it's time to #changethefrequency and #raisethevibration. #acandlelosesnothingbylightinganothercandle, it costs nothing to like a post or share an ig handle. i mean there's no reason for a #blackstore to close it's doors when the publishing giants are standing on the shoulders of the #blackbookstagram nation. but don't mind me, #mypoemsarenotpoems, i'm just here to amplify the #blackeconomy & assert it's proper perspective. it's time to explore #theartsfromaneconomicperspective. they implore #moneypowerrespect yet #blackeconomicpower is collective. respectively we need to keep #theblackdollar circulating within #theblackcommunity. #doforself yet #dotheknowledge to understand the wisdom of #blackwealth is the accumulative result of #blackunity. how you gon' seek #knowledgeofself when the keepers of culture no longer hold the keys to the mysteries? for #itwaswritten, etched in stone, papyrus & paper, commerce brought #theblackmanwomanandchild cross continents when our european neighbors were cave dwellers. to express #sentimentsofsankofa, #blackbookstores are reminiscent to the master builders & storytellers. #ase! Black booksellers are cornerstones of community and cultural identity. -stevie https://www.instagram.com/p/CeMzLWBgwDj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
