BEM Culinary Bookstore Founders Gabrielle & Danielle Davenport: The Future Is Black Literature
Sisters Gabrielle and Danielle Davenport are co-founders and owners of BEM Books and More, an online store and pop-up dedicated to food literature of the African diaspora. Danielle, who is an actor and writer, and Gabrielle, who is a curator and creative producer, chat with host Abena Anim-Somuah about the birth of their business, their thoughts on the publishing industry, and why they’d love to have a brick-and-mortar location one day.
Don’t miss Gabrielle and Danielle’s Future Flash Five predictions and their voicemail to their future selves.
