Also, meet the owner of one of Chicago's only Black-woman-owned bookstores.
Semicolon is not only serving up good reads and good vibes, but also promoting literacy and learning in its community.
"Beyond the dopest bookstore in Chicago, we are a space that focuses on black comfort," says Semicolon Bookstore owner, Danielle Mullen.
Mullen is using her small, Black-owned business to combat Chicago's low literacy rates and to promote the positive narrative of Black book reading and selling.
"I started recognizing that there was a representation that we brought to not only the community but the book selling space that was obviously necessary. It shows black booksellers as black book readers and that's important," she says.
Semicolon Bookstore is moving to a new location on Oct. 2.
