This event is brought to you in patnership with In Living Colour Paint Studio. Ms. Loita, the founder, is a former teacher who served her community for 12 years. She recently resigned from her position as a second-grade teacher to open her own studio. She is a New Orleans Creole but has been living in Dallas for 15 years! For the past three years, BLACKLIT has been home to the first monthly subscription box to exclusively highlight Black authors and entrepreneurs, helping to support, promote, and bring visibility to Black authors and Black-owned businesses. It was birthed after a teacher heard one of her students say, “I don’t read Miss. I’m Black.” Now to help further their efforts to close the literacy gap and increase representation in literature, the BLACKLIT Bookstore is here! BLACKLIT’s mission is to help close the literacy gap, increase representation, and cultivate conversations that bring unity across racial divides. This community-driven bookstore is committed to bringing diverse authors from around the world to Dallas. In addition to a plethora of books by Black authors, inside our walls, you can find poetry readings, book clubs, local musicians, and filmmakers showcasing their work through open mic nights and various other community events. Don't just get lit, get BLACKLIT!
