Peace to the #rebelreaders... for #READINGistheREVOLUTION. Peace to @onyxedition and the #blackbookstagrammers that support #blackownedbookstores. This is for the #blackbookstagram and those that plan #blackbookstoretours. We're just here to chant #MorePOWERTOTHEREADER! ✊🏾 and affirm: #BLACKPUBLISHINGPOWER is the solution. As #fREADom is first birthed in the mind... We appear here and there to help #shakeupyourshelves, Flood your timeline with #blackexcellence, And challenge the quo to put #blackauthors on the shelf. #youknowthevibes at #scribesandvibes, This is where you #findyourtribe And discover #KNOWledgeofSELF. You can catch us on a #popupbookshop promo or #shopscribesandvibes online. If nothing else, we ask: Why them Willie Lynch isms got you walking around freely with your mind imprisoned? Why they poison us with radio and television? Why the need to effeminate the Black male in tell-lie-vision depictions? Why'd that white magazine advertise Future: The Best Rapper Alive on the cover of it's May edition? Why they wanna indoctrinate the #YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK with bleak futures filled with addiction and prison? Why must ye be forced to #readBannedBooks while mass media is publicizing drug addiction and womanizing to our children? It's time to change the frequency! Why they wanna force feed us negative images of self so frequently? Why do they censor #BlackWriters then author laws to put our babies in prison? What do they gain from keeping your mind imprisoned? What does it mean when they say they vow to keep woke politics out of public school systems? #staywOke! and keep one eye open whenever the guys behind the eye in the sky coin phrases to signal dog whistles for Blacks. Learn to listen to what's not being said in catchphrases like "Take Our Country Back." Why do you think Critical Race Theory is under attack yet no mentions of disparities within the juvenile justice system? #FREEYOURMIND! They're pushing this BIPOC agenda to efface #blackpublishing professionals right before our face, Yet we're not having it this time. By the way, Happy #IndieBookstoreDay! This time, we'll #FREEtheMIND! -Stevie #READINGisaREVOLUTIONaryact https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc-ioBfLzwX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#morepowertothereader ✊🏾 Repost @scribesandvibes ・・・ As we prepare to make this 8th lap 'round the calendar year, we'd like to take a moment to invite you to become acquainted with #BLACKAUGUST. As we elevate the quest towards #unity, #selfsacrifice, #politicaleducation, #physicalfitness, and #resistance, we'd like to express #sentimentsofsankofa by going back to the political firestorms of the 60s to spark #thefirethistime. As we #timetravel #throughthelens of #literature, we'd like to bring forth the notion of #READINGasaREVOLUTIONaryact. For #itwaswritten, books by the #SoledadBrothers, #AngelaDavis, #AssataShakur, #HueyPNewton, and countless #FreedomFighters provide the blueprint for us. As we continue to read books like #BLOODINMYEYE in the wake of #socialunrest, we'd like to take a moment to remind thee that #freedom is first birthed in the mind. -Stevie #scribesandvibes • #bookscomeinallcolors • #weallneeddifferentbookstolove ・・・ #vibewise: #READINGisaREVOLUTIONaryact #FREEYOURMIND #shopscribesandvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgvt-S9AI0L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We'd like to take a moment to say #thankyou to everyone that has taken time to support our #bookshop dreams during the quarantine. As we prepare to step back on the #localartsscene, we are pleased to announce there's more in store. I awoke this morning with #thirdeye #manifestations to transition the #onlinebookstore to a #brickandmortar location. Be on the lookout for the return of the #authorshour [ig: @authorshour] and #popupstorytime [ig: @popupstorytime] in the next couple of months. Until then, tell a friend to #shopscribesandvibes or #adoptabookclub to help us bless at least 500 #Blackchildren with #freebooks each month. #onelove, Stevie #scribesandvibes • #adifferentkindofvibe • #unorthodoxtribe • #findyourtribe • #morepowertothereader https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ_F7N8LiIL/?utm_medium=tumblr
