I created Darkly Rooted after years of walking into bookstores and seeing the same names, while incredible authors from the global majority were overlooked. I’m building a bookstore where readers can find stories that reflect their own experiences and feel seen, heard, and valued.

With support from five early donors, we’ve reached 13.33% of our goal. The next step is stocking shelves with titles by global majority authors and building out our physical location on Atlanta’s historic West Side. Remaining funds will help provide free community programming focused on books, events, resources, growth, and literacy.

Thank you for believing in this vision and helping us build a welcoming space for connection and learning. If Darkly Rooted speaks to you, please visit our GoFundMe page to help us move toward opening, and feel free to DM me with questions. 📚
