YELP MIAMI BHM FEATURE

YELP stopped by ROOTS to chat with co-owner, Isaiah Thomas and hear how our special space came to life. From the inspiration behind it to the role it plays in uplifting voices, stories, and connections in Miami, celebrating Black culture and communities is always on our timeline.

"This place felt like a book oasis in a modern day desert environment. I can say as a published author, veteran Podcast host and storytelling specialist, this place is transformative family oriented and vital. Zaybo and the crew were warm inviting knowledgeable and professional. This bookstore is vital to the upliftment and revitalizing of the community in the present and future!!!!!"

We were intentional on supporting a black owned bookstore while visiting Miami and we are so glad that we did!! Phil was so welcoming and knowledgeable. I could tell the bookstore is a safe space for the community, as I witnessed 2 young men come in and say hi as they were walking by. The selection of books was amazing! From new shelf NYT bestsellers to reads I read over 15 years ago. Additionally, they had a library-esq area, where people could rent out a read and return them (I noticed a first edition Tar Baby by Toni Morrison in the pile 😳). This gem of a black owned brick-and-motor is definitely worth the shopping, supporting and experiencing.
