How do black women in leadership find love, self care and purpose in the midst of doing the work? How can we receive our orchard? Vashti and DaSaint dive deep in with girlfriend guest Jeannine Cook founder of Harriett's Bookshop and Ida's Bookshop. Harriett’s Bookshop, which opened in Fishtown in 2020, and Ida’s Bookshop, which burst on the scene in Collingswood, New Jersey, the next year, have garnered national attention. The shops and their online counterpart offer a trove of literature written by women. Both stores serve as venues where authors give readings, musicians perform, and a choir sings the songs that Tubman used to convey urgent messages to slaves escaping along the Underground Railroad.
We are your official “girlfriends”, in a kit, “because every colored girl should have a girlfriend.”
