Whooodaaawhoooo we feeling good this Flame Keeper Friday! Today we honor , a new beacon of light in Evanston, IL, built to center and celebrate the voices of Black women. 🖤

Zora’s Place is more than a bookstore—it’s a sanctuary. A sacred space reminding us that our stories are worthy of being preserved, printed, and passed on.

At Ignited Ink 717, our mission aligns deeply: to amplify the voices society tries to silence. Together, we keep the flame of storytelling alive—one book, one woman, one truth at a time. So we were ecstatic when we discovered this 🔥

So this week, we’re asking our tribe to show up for this new Flame Keeper. Shop indie. Donate if you can. Visit if you’re near. Because when you invest in independent bookstores like Zora’s, you’re investing in the survival of our stories.

Whooodaaawhooo Happy Banned Books Week!! Remember they don’t ban lies, they ban revolutions.
Books that make you question the system, feel empathy, remember the scars, the songs, the sacrifice, and the power blazing within you .

Stories by Black hands, q***r pens, and brave hearts are being ripped from shelves because truth makes cowards tremble.

But silence has NEVER saved us.
So we read louder‼️

We pass the banned pages like sacred scripture.
Because every “CENSORED” stamp is proof we’re powerful. 1st they criminalized reading, now they are criminalizing the books themselves. READING IS REBELLION. Stay IGNITED ❤️‍🔥
