A day in the life at Da Book Joint 📚✨ Chicago has always been a city built by entrepreneurs. This Chicago Small Business Week, we’re celebrating Courtney Woods - a small business co-owner creating opportunity, culture, and community through business. Courtney and her mom co-own @DaBookJoint, an independent bookstore creating space for culture, literacy, dialogue, and community connection in Chicago. From unboxing and restocking new inventory to gathering in community for powerful conversations — this is what it looks like when a bookstore is more than just books. Ending the night surrounded by creative disruptors, artists, and neighbors reminds Courtney why she does this work. If you're in Chicago, go see what they are creating. #DaBookJoint #DayInTheLife #BookstoreOwner #BlackOwnedBookstore #IndieBookstore #ChicagoBookstore #SouthSideChicago #BooksAndCommunity #ChicagoSmallBusinessWeek #SmallBusiness #Chicago #Entrepreneur #FounderStory #CommunityImpact #SupportSmallBusiness #SkysTheLimit

The Jay Z vs Nas beef gave us the term “ethered” I feel like getting “Kendricked” is when someone takes the time to spit on someone who’s drowning.

We are so honored!

Vic Mensa, also known as Victor Kwesi Mensah, has shown his generosity by giving Da Book Joint enough money to pay the Chicago bookstore’s rent for an entire year.

To add to the fun, we have authors @ThisHammer & @NancyJAuthor hosting the South Bound Bus Route for Indie Bookstore Day on April 27! Hit up @BookiesChicago @PilsenCommBooks @SeminaryCoop @DaBookJoint and more! eventbrite.com/e/chicagoland…

A few months ago, Verlean Singletary and Courtney Woods weren't even sure Da Book Joint's Boxville location would make it to 2024. In the last few weeks, the bookstore has been on the "Today" show, and Vic Mensa gave the shop a check for a year's rent. blockclubchicago.org/2024/03…

We're so inspired by Da Book Joint and Options for Literacy ❤️ and we're proud to join TODAY with Hoda & Jenna in supporting their mission. #ScholasticGivesBack
