I spent all day Saturday talking about books, book clubs, and book boxes. After talking through the book boxes so many times with folks, I realized how little time I’ve spent talking about how these boxes came to be and the inspiration behind them.

If we haven’t met before, my name is Nikhaule, and I curate oddly specific and niche book boxes.

All the books are Black, and the items were sourced from Black-owned businesses.

This box was my first, and I have such a deep appreciation for it. A fully immersive reading experience that engages alllll the senses.

Over the weekend, I participated in South Side Flea where I sold books and book boxes! I spent the day with my best friend, meeting some really dope vendors, talking to folks about books, taking book recommendations, and giving book recommendations.

It was a beautiful time. Shoutout to Cooperation Racine, L.W.C.A. for creating the space and taking really good care of us.

I hope you get into a good book or a good movie today 🧡

Come find your next read this Saturday at South Side Flea and in my online store!

You can shop my new collection, Double Feature, where I take a DVD that’s nostalgic to my childhood and pair that with a book written by a Black author. A book box with several items sourced from Black-owned businesses. Perfect for my people looking to build their physical media collection. New bundles will be available on site too 👀

I have a fully immersive book box with the duology Raybearer and Redemptor with items INTENTIONALLY selected to match the vibe of the series. This box will engage all of your senses. There’s even something to taste with a recipe card.

I’ll have loose books and goodies you can cop individually for people who want to create their own book box.

Mystery book bundles for people feeling a little adventurous.

A lil something for all the readers.

Sourcing items for these book boxes is both time-consuming, and deeply rewarding. I’ve always been intentional about shopping at Black-owned businesses for myself, and I am happy that I’m able to curate something meaningful to offer to my community while still shopping Black-owned.

I’ve spent months sourcing items for Double Feature, the book box where I pair a DVD that’s nostalgic to my childhood, with a book written by a Black author. In addition to the book and DVD, the book box comes with a bag of Gullah pop, some gorgeous artwork from a Black creative, a mini notebook sourced from a Black, woman-owned business, as well as four other stationery items. And, because I’m in an air sign you’ll always get a letter and reflection prompts from me.

You’re not just supporting one Black-owned business, you’re supporting four!

We have one bundle available online (you can check it out using the link in the bio) where I paired Jim Carrey’s The Mask and Mumbo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed. Exploring respectability politics through comedy, and a satirical fiction novel.

New Double Feature pairings will be available soon, and if you come see me in person at a pop-up on October 3rd you’ll get first dibs 👀

I still have my DVDs and my VHS tapes. If all the streaming services disappeared today, I would still have my favorite shows and movies.

One day you’ll wake up and find that your favorite is no longer available and then you’ll have to go on a scavenger hunt to find it. (If you sell DVDs, let me know 👀)

You can check out the book boxes we currently have available using the link in the bio, and you can catch me in person (with options that aren’t online) at

If you’re looking to add to your physical media collection, come spend some time with me! I’ve been disconnecting from streaming subscriptions and building my own personal library and I have some pretty cool books, and book and movie pairings that I would love to show people who are doing the same.

Bring a chair, your unpopular hot takes on Black books and movies for us to argue about lovingly at the table, and slow down for the evening.

I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

I loved Malik and his anger.
I loved how he advocated for himself, and his commitment to figuring everything out.

I find myself deeply fascinated by Black readers who seem to have such an intense dislike for AAVE. Why? Why is AAVE consistently treated as a stereotype as opposed to the dialect it is?

I’m curious about why so many people seem unsettled by a character fully allowing themselves to feel their anger. Is that a generational gap? Remnants of religious indoctrination that tell us to turn away from our anger?

I’m actively working to resist the capitalistic urge to “crank out more” book boxes and continuing to be intentional and read allll the books I choose to include in a box.

Book bundles available using the link in my bio 🧡 We got a few options for y’all.

Double Feature is a curated book bundle where I pair a film that’s nostalgic to my childhood with a book written by a Black author.

After sitting with this idea for several months I decided to launch with Jim Carrey’s The Mask and Mumbo Jumbo written by Ishmael Reed.

Mumbo Jumbo was an incredibly timely read for me. I started the novel before the conversations around bonnets, du-rags, respectability politics, and anti-blackness exploded across my timelines. These conversations solidified my decision to launch with this pairing.

In the book, we have Hinckle Von Vampton, a white man focused on maintaining Western dominance. It’s his goal to destroy Jes Grew, and he does this by attempting to create a Black android designed to convince Black people that Jes Grew is evil. 

Does this sound familiar?

If those online conversations piqued your interest, I strongly encourage you to read this book. For those who grab the bundle as you watch the movie and read the book, reflect on how people impacted by Jes Grew were perceived versus how Stanley Ipkiss navigated the world with his mask.

Either way, read mo Black books.

READ MO’ BLACK BOOKS 📚✨

This idea came to me when I set out to rebuild my physical media collection. In an era where AI companies are consuming and altering books to train their models, preserving Black books and stories that reflect our lived experiences and imagination has been deeply important to me.

I didn’t want just any books or movies. I wanted tangible media in my home that felt nostalgic and familiar. For the very first pairing, I matched Jim Carrey’s 1994 classic The Mask with Ishmael Reed’s masterpiece Mumbo Jumbo.

Pairing these two feels especially timely given the ongoing conversations surrounding respectability politics and anti-Blackness. Forces that are not only systemic but far too often perpetuated within our own community.

It comes with a few bookish goodies too
