I thought you'd never ask. Not being satisfied with the lack of representation and access to Black authors and entrepreneurs, we decided to BE THE CHANGE we wanted to see. Founded by DFW educator & diversity/inclusion advocate, Nia-Tayler Clark,  BLACKLIT’s mission is to help close the literacy gap, to increase representation, and to cultivate conversations that bring unity across racial divides.  Now to help further our efforts to close the literacy gap and increase representation in literature, the BLACKLIT Bookstore is here! This community-driven book store 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!
