Sam & Rita have been educators for over three decades. Their life’s mission is to curate and connect books to people and people to books. In 1994, they opened an Afrocentric bookstore in Toronto, Canada. The bookstore morphed into a community hub, for authors, artists, and events, for the enrichment of Toronto’s Black and Caribbean community.
Sam & Rita believe that their bookshelves tell the Black experience authentically and accurately. Recently, they have embarked on their journey of authoring several children’s books, and are excited to share their books and stories in schools, community groups, conferences and other events.
