🥺 support a black lgbt owned bookstore trying to open in the south? Bc I want to go there when they open? Thank u?
Look at them
From the Kickstarter: “Today, Durham is without a Black-owned bookselling storefront and the handful of bookstores in the area do not, at present, offer an expansive cross-genre collection of Black literature. This is the gap that Rofhiwa hopes to fill: (1) creating a space for collective imagining, where children and adults may find and share stories that reflect who they are (2) fostering the convivial atmosphere that is seminal to creating the bookcafé as a communal space (3) offering a deep collection of works by Black writers that invites readers to explore what it means to be Black here, over there and everywhere where Black people make life.”
Do it for the black lgbts in the south !!! Thank u !!!
7 days to go. If they do not reach this goal, they will receive not a single cent of whats been donated to them. For reference on how time sensitive a situation this is.
I spoke briefly with the owners & asked if Rofhiwa would be okay if the goal isn’t hit. The answer was an optimistic no
[id: screenshot of 2 Instagram messages from Rofhiwa. Together, they read “Firstly thank you for your support and belief in us! Thank you for worrying with us :) It is a bit of a tight deadline but we are hoping that our big donors will give in the next week. And hopefully smaller donations will keep coming in. Keep your fingers crossed for us :D”. end id]
As of right now, 12am Jan 5, they need $16,091. I gave what I could & im really hoping to get some momentum going with this post again. Please reblog, I’m so grateful to those of you who’ve continued to boost this & donated if you could to help contribute to this community. Thank u!
