#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=

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=
