I am the Founder and Executive Director of House Of Pages Bookstore based out of Metro Atlanta. I am a lifelong reader, and a bookseller/buyer since 2011. I launched online in December of 2019 and then established my retail space in 2020. In 2023 we are converting to a non profit entity to advance our mission of ”Building A World Of Avid Readers.”
I am also an Officer Manager/Executive Assistant by trade - as well as a Content Creator, Business Consultant, and grassroots activist. My interests range from social entrepreneurship and studying history, (with a concentration in Africana Studies), to writing. I am deeply involved with activism that seeks to support and empower the local community, and I love to travel, read, garden, hike, indulge in landscape photography, and spend time with my wonderful seventeen year old.
