If you're on this blog post, yay! You found us!
Onyx Oasis Bookstore is a Black woman-owned bookstore that focuses on fiction literature by Black and brown authors. We pride ourselves on being an oasis for Black literature. What does that mean? In short, that you're safe here. Readers and authors of color alike, and all of our identities, experiences, and cultures, are not only welcome here but are loved.
When I think of an oasis, I think of a place where I can let my hair down, take my shoes off, and relax. A place where I can be myself without the pressures of life. That's exactly what Onyx Oasis Bookstore was created to be.
You'll find books predominantly by Black authors, but we have books by non-Black authors of color. Moreover, we believe that a space for people of color is not safe if it does not include 2SLGBTQIA+ people, you'll find books by QTBIPOC (queer trans Black Indigenous people of color) in various genres and that highlight the experiences of QTBIPOC.
So again, thanks for visiting this online bookstore. I'm so glad that you're here. Feel free to read these blog posts. My hope is that these blog posts introduce you to who we are. You can find more about Onyx Oasis Bookstore here.
Sincerely,
Tre (Tree) | Owner, Onyx Oasis Bookstore
