Wily's Summer Read: A Virtual Discussion with Steve Pemberton
Where To Get The Book
We were pleased to partner with Boston’s Frugal Bookstore, the city’s only Black-owned bookstore, for Wily’s Summer Read. A Chance in the World is available for purchase at the Frugal Bookstore in Roxbury.
For further education, please check out their collection of books on racial justice and anti-racism. For those not local to Boston, here is a list of Black-owned bookstores across the country.
Please consider supporting Wily this month by shopping online at Serve Kindness. Serve Kindness sells beautiful handblown glass bowls, made locally in Essex, Massachusetts. They regularly donate 10% of their proceeds to many local non-profits, with a goal of creating a ripple effect in their community. Their products can be bought online as well as at many events throughout the season, listed here.
Shop online from this collection between December 2 – 6, and 20% of their proceeds will go to the Wily Network. Thank you to Melissa Brooks and Jillian Darling of Serve Kindness for supporting Wily this holiday season!
