This was a fun one!
Forgive us the wild peals of laughter and background noises as we recorded this podcast episode at my kitchen table after a leisurely brunch. Rachel Bergeron and Justine Mah spearheaded The Black Bookshelf Project, a collaborative initiative that provides BIPOC books for kids on a black bookshelf with coloring sheets, additional resources, and Indigenous affirmation cards for children to enjoy. Rachel and Justine do not hold back on why these stories are important, and why they believe these bookshelves will open conversations and generate an appreciation for perspectives and experiences from other cultures and experiences. These shelves are important, and we are proud to have one in each of our bookstores for our community to enjoy.
Starting in June 2023, will be raising funds to put a TBBP shelf in a school in both Edmonton and Beaumont. If you'd like to support our efforts, please visit our website for more details.
If you would like to know more about The Black Bookshelf Project, please go to their website, and follow them on Instagram.
