Ages for which our activities are most appropriate:
BLK + BRWN. is an independently operated bookstore based in Kansas City, Missouri, founded by Cori Smith, The Local Book Pusher (TLBP). Our journey began with a profound love for reading, ignited during TLBP’s childhood visits to the West Wyandotte Public Library. This passion, particularly for literature celebrating Black history and culture, has been the driving force behind our mission.
We provide a safe space for our community while fostering a deep appreciation for Black and Brown literature. Recognizing the scarcity of platforms where our voices could thrive and our experiences could be honored, we transformed this vision into reality. BLK + BRWN. serves as a haven where our stories are amplified, and our narratives are unapologetically celebrated.

The Storyteller Workshop series is a dynamic and culturally enriching program hosted by BLK + BRWN., designed to foster creativity, community, and literary exploration within the black community. Through a series of six workshops held throughout the year, participants will have the opportunity to engage with diverse writing genres and styles while celebrating the richness of black storytelling.
