Organization Overview
18 August Ave is a Brooklyn-based, black-owned children’s bookshop that empowers the lived experiences and well-being of BIPOC families through books, resources, and events.
At 18 August Ave, we offer more than just books. We bridge the gap between retail and resources so the whole family can have the necessities. We do this by providing resources on mental health, postpartum, and through parent and child enrichment events. BIPOC families have a space where they can shop diverse books, clothing, and more freely but also talk and learn about things that impact them and the little ones. 18 August Ave provides inclusivity, creativity, and social support for the ‘whole” family.
