Good News Alert: Harlem The Black Mecca on Schomburg Center’s Promo Page!

I’m over the moon with joy and gratitude right now! 🌟 My heart is full as I share some truly exciting news—my book, *Harlem: The Black Mecca*, is featured on the Schomburg Center’s book shop promo page and included in their email blast!

Seeing my work in such a revered space, one that has been a beacon of cultural preservation and history, is a moment I will cherish forever. I am so incredibly humbled and appreciative of this opportunity to share Harlem’s rich history with more readers.

This moment is not just about the book being in the spotlight; it’s about the journey that brought us here—the stories, the struggles, the triumphs, and the love for our community. To see this vision come to life, and to know it’s reaching the hearts of others, is a feeling that I can hardly put into words.

Thank you to the Schomburg Center for believing in this work and giving it a platform. And thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way—this is our celebration too! Let’s continue to explore, learn, and grow together, one story at a time. With a heart full of gratitude!
