<div><strong>✨ Hey Book Lovers and Supporters! ✨</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Guess what? This year, I'm turning the big 3-0, and I'm throwing the ultimate celebration by inviting you to join me in making a difference! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, I'm the proud owner of a (soon-to-be 3 years old) cozy little bookstore called <a href="https://www.blkbrwn.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BLK</a> + <a href="https://www.blkbrwn.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BRWN</a>. (pronounced 'Black and Brown') that's more than just shelves of books – it's a community hub, a safe space for us and by us where amplifying Black and Brown storytelling, and a place where our stories are art. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But here's the tea: The world of indie bookselling has faced some challenges, especially in the past year. And, your girl is <strong>EXHAUSTED. </strong>Across the board we are seeing sales have taken a hit all while expenses continue to increase, making it tougher for small businesses like mine to keep the magic alive. ✨
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That's where you come in! I'm launching a special birthday fundraiser to ensure our doors stay open and our little literary haven thrives for another year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> <strong>Goal: </strong>$20,000 for the year
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This magical sum will cover our rent for one year, support our incredible staff, and fuel community events that make our bookstore more than just a place to buy books – it's a space where are building an ecosystem !
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why now? Well, this milestone birthday has me reflecting on the incredible journey we've had together, and I can't imagine celebrating without my book-loving community. -- but let's be real -- BLK + BRWN. has functioned for <strong>three</strong> years without the help of any grants or loans and that my friends is extremely stressful. It's time we start getting proactive. I am forever grateful for how much love you all have shown to my dream and me by extension. Thank you!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, let's rally together and keep the pages turning! ✊ Every dollar brings us closer to our goal and helps us weather the storm of challenges facing indie bookstores.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
