Welcome to Basement Books, a safe space where reading helps us think critically and care for each other.

Growing up, my brother and I would read and write every day in our basement. It completely opened up new worlds to me and it's been a massive part of my life ever since.

Sadly, I've come to learn that a lot of the most profound books in my life are books that, because they're non-fiction, aren't as popular in bookish spaces and are books left in the basement. I want to change that and bring these books out into the light.

I want to make sure that stories and voices from around the world are listened to. I want us to dive into texts together that challenge the way we were taught to think. We read to understand the world and each other in order to imagine what liberation could look like when we get there together.

As a former teacher, I know that there is nothing more powerful than education. I hope I can create my Bindery into a space that provides resources, syllabuses, and learnings that start conversations and for us to all learn together.
