We’re Featured in Prose to the People
We’re in a book, y’all.
Socialight Society is honored to be featured in Prose to the People: A Celebration of Black Bookstores by Katie Mitchell, with a foreword by Nikki Giovanni.
This collection lifts up the power of Black-owned bookstores, and we’re humbled to be part of this beautiful legacy.

✨ What We’re Dreaming Up
We’re still building spaces for Black women to feel seen.
Because our stories deserve to be held with care—and told with joy.
Hey, Friend—
Socialight Society has always been more than a bookstore.
It’s been a place where faith, story, and sisterhood come together. A place where Black women are reminded of their brilliance, their beauty, and the power of being seen.
As we step into this next chapter, we’re not pressing pause—we’re moving forward with intention. The physical space may be closed, but the mission continues. The vision is growing. The work is evolving.
This season, we’re leaning deeper into purpose.
✨ Still curating stories that nourish
✨ Still gathering in community
✨ And now—more intentionally shaped by our faith
We’re planning pop-ups, launching the Faith & Feminism Book Club, and creating new ways to celebrate who we are and where we’re headed. And I truly believe what’s coming is full of light, creativity, and connection.
Thank you for being a part of this. For believing in the work. For showing up with your prayers, your presence, and your support. Socialight Society is still here—and we’re just getting started.
With love and light,
Nyshell Lawrence
Founder, Socialight Society
