Incredible bookstore. But it’s not just that. I walked in and immediately felt at home. Not only because of the books but because of the culture. If you’re black, this is a necessary visit if you go to Newark. If you’re not, it’s still a necessary visit. This store truly lives up to its name. It’s a hub for all the knowledge I will need on my spiritual journey as well as my entrepreneurship journey, there’s something for everyone. The energy was electric. Dexter and his partner Pat were also a pleasure meeting. They are also the owners. I will make this a quarterly trip as I live in south jersey and it’s about a 2 hour drive. I’m glad I decided to go for a walk after having lunch. 😉 the picture I added is a list of books I want to research before I purchase, but I won’t be purchasing them anywhere else but here

It so funny when one reads reviews- they are always so varied and extremely one sided and biased. This store is fabulous. Let me explain why: 1. They employ disabled persons 2. The variety of black books and subjects is versatile and varied that it made me wonder do I read enough 3. The level of kujichagulia, and principles of community are out of this world. 4. The inviting smells of the beauty shop in the back was awesome 5. The upstairs space was phenomenal as well. All owned by a sista. 6. They frame all art work... in store 7. Prices were comparable to other stores 8. We stayed for almost two hours- talking to the proprietor and discussing art. If you are looking for sterile and un amusing go to Barnes and Noble but if you are looking for personable, inviting and warmth go there...

Fantastic bookstore! It was my first time visiting today, after seeing a lot about them on social media. The store is well arranged and they’re very welcoming, eager to help with suggestions. I had a great conversation about books with Patrice, she recommended some great books. Safety protocols were in place, masks and sanitizer before entering. The prices are amazing too. I will definitely be going back. They have a great selection of art work too!

An awesome range of diverse genres, mainly from black authors and includes children’s books, encouraging one to enhance their reading culture! The two ladies (owners?) are engaging, helpful with book recommendations and happy to discuss past purchases. The Store also has a rich collection of wooden art pieces (to explore in future). Looking forward to my next visit!
