The Home Of Black Authors
Welcome to Afrori Books, the multi-award winning bookshop and your haven for books by black authors. Carolynn started the bookshop to celebrate Black authors and stories, offering a curated selection of books that span genres and generations. Afrori Books is dedicated to providing a welcoming space for readers and writers alike. Join us for a shared love of reading that transcends boundaries.

Book Of The Month
Oliviyah's Book Of The Month.
I love to see Black people in spaces that they are not expected to be in. Black Women in rock is still a rarity. (Hats off to Skin from Skunk Anansie, a trailblazer!)
Black Dolls is a graphic novel that breaks the mold. This is a graphic novel with guts and heart. Get your drumsticks out because you'll be tapping out new beats. This one will inspire.
Band founder, Jada has always dreamed of tearing up the music industry rules - she'll fight anyone or anything who says otherwise. So when auditions open for Clash of the Bands, she forms Black Dolls. Influencer Sassy is lead vocals; Silvee's a killer bassist; Dina, an ex-child star who hates the cameras is on guitar, and Jada, self-proclaimed rhythm legend is on drums and vocals.

Have Black people stopped trending?
What are they saying to combat this disgusting and violent behaviour? Nothing! They look, they pause, some look disgusted. And they move on.
