Books, global Black food ways, storytelling, and diaspora authors
"BEM, a Black-owned pop-up culinary bookshop looking to sign a lease on a permanent storefront in Bed-Stuy, is running a Kickstarter fundraiser (today is the last day to donate) and has already raised more than $70,000." - Emma Orlow
"Founded and run by sisters Gabrielle and Danielle Davenport, this online-born Black food bookstore is one of the few in the country; it recently expanded into a temporary pop-up in Brooklyn and aims to open a permanent storefront by the end of the year. The project, focused on food-centered titles and community-building, is built alongside the sisters’ other careers (including curating and producing in the performing arts), and reflects their hustle and time constraints — they often have less time to read or eat than they'd like while growing the business." - Ali Slagle
