Ms. Wilson,
I am incredibly grateful for the amazing partnership we've shared! Your dedication to inspiring young readers and helping them build their own home libraries has been truly heartwarming. Thank you for consistently including Books & Barbershops in the wonderful events you’ve created in the Southeast Raleigh area. Walking into your establishment and seeing an empty bin, waiting for me to fill it with books, always brought me so much joy.
While this chapter of Naveah Designs has come to a close, I am excited to see what the next chapter brings. Our partnership will continue, and I look forward to all the incredible things you will put your creative hands to. You know where to find me—Books & Barbershops will always be here to support the mission of fostering literacy and empowering the next generation of proficent readers.
Much love, continued success, and a heartfelt "job well done!" I look forward to the next adventure! 🫡❤️🎉

Everyday is a great day to choose and read a good book! I absolutely love seeing an empty bin when I arrive at the barbershops and salons. That means someone is enjoying a good book and working on their reading proficiency!
It’s also great to see children carrying the books with them to the grocery store after receiving them in the barbershop! I had to take the picture!! ❤️📚
Happy reading my friends!

I truly appreciate the partnership with Mr. Reggie Winston and the Bar-Ber Shop as he ensures that his youngest customers are provided with free books to build their home libraries. Excited to extend this partnership with his new location in Cary with Mr. Jesse Padilla-Alegria. Thanks for mounting the bookshelf sir!

Representation matters in children’s literature!
“Children's books can be categorized into two types: window and mirror books. Window books allow readers to see into the lives of others, while mirror books reflect back their own experiences.”
