I have walked many paths—dancer, stylist, journalist, and visual merchandiser. Despite being immersed in diverse cultures, I felt a deeper calling to explore the world through the narratives of others.

Literature has been both a cathartic and transformative medium for me. In the words of countless authors, I found liberation, perspective, and a profound connection to history and identity. This passion led me to create The Blackletter—a project dedicated to amplifying literature rooted in social justice and community.

Born during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Blackletter first took shape on Clubhouse, where it thrived for two years as a safe and open space for discussions on Blackness and otherness through literature.

A bilingual book club with a mission to celebrate the richness and diversity of the Black experience, The Blackletter delves into racial and social justice through fiction, biographies, and essays that spark critical thinking and meaningful conversations.This space is open to everyone—those seeking to decolonize their perspectives, deepen their anti-racism work, or simply diversify their bookshelves. My mission extends beyond promoting literature by and about minorities; it is about fostering a true culture of reading within marginalized communities.
