Google….Black-owned bookstore, please.

ThirdSpace Reading Room in Glenville is the kind of place you walk into for a minute and stay for an hour.

And I missed her name, but the woman in there broke down Cleveland history so smoothly. Learned a little something. Go see for yourself.

Some moments you don’t just photograph, you feel them.

This past Sunday was the launch of “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘺: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘕𝘢𝘮𝘦” by Mrs. Adina Walker, and the room was full of love, laughter, and her village showing up for her. A day she earned, and a moment worth celebrating.

Go get your copy 📖 Available now on Amazon and through the link in @theotherpuberty bio.

Your next read can support a Black-owned bookstore, too.

Across the Midwest, Black-owned bookstores are making room for banned books, Black children’s literature, radical imagination, local authors and the kinds of stories that don’t always get the biggest display table.

We pulled a few places to start, but this list is nowhere near finished.

📍What’s your favorite Black-owned bookstore in the Midwest? Drop the name + city so somebody else can find their next read there.

It's Banned Book Week, so we're looking back at the thoughts of Co-Founder @mcargill28 at last week's @cityclubofcleveland chat. You can watch the full video on @ideastreamneo's YouTube page and then shop on our website and Bookshop page for banned books.

A meaningful day connecting Cleveland with @german_marshall_fund fellows visiting from across Europe. 🌍

Our Ride Along explored the lasting impact of redlining, the work shaping Cleveland neighborhoods today, and big questions about belonging, power, and democracy.

Grateful for the conversation, connection, and exchange of ideas!

Today was a good day for books.

Craig had the honor of speaking at The City Club of Cleveland alongside fellow independent bookstore leaders about the importance of local bookstores and the communities they serve.

We’re grateful to be part of a city that values literacy, curiosity, and independent bookstores. Cheers to every reader who helps keep a culture of reading alive.

Stay curious. Enter New Worlds.
