There's a great selection of different genres. I got a sci-fi/dystopian book and a general fiction book. I was tempted to buy about five more books, but I had to exercise self-control. Dr. Tasha was extremely welcoming and helpful. :)

It's a cute, boutique style bookstore that features African American authors and artists. The owner, Tasha, is a nice lady, very helpful. My only complaint is the difficulty in finding the store and I was unsure about the parking. Those are minor inconveniences for the joy of an exclusive bookstore. Today was my first visit but definitely not my last! #ForUSbyUS

The store is a fantastic quant bookstore with black authors at the forefront, which is hard to find in Wichita. The staff is so helpful and the selection is easy to navigate. So happy to find a place like this in the ICT. Will be back to buy more on the near future.

Not only do I love the selection of books but it is such a comforting atmosphere. The owner, Latasha has such a beautiful spirit as well. I definitely recommend people come out and check out the book selection and beautiful mural.

Stopped into this shop while spending a couple days in Kansas. It’s smaller than most bookstores I’ve been in, but seemed to have a wide selection of books. Found several that looked interesting, some from familiar authors and many with authors I wasn’t familiar with (which I imagine is part of the aim in having a bookstore dedicated to an historically underrepresented group). Picked up a book for some summer professional learning (Decolonizing Therapy by Dr Jennifer Mullen). I didn’t spend a ton of time there (as I’d already spent too much on books on this trip) but enjoyed the space, the environment, and the staff. Looking forward to visiting next time I’m in town.
