All proceeds support The Word
The Word is thrilled to collaborate with National Book Award Finalist Ingrid Rojas Contreras to bring this exclusive tee reminding us that the most important story is the one that lies untold in each of us.
"The Word is doing the labor that matters most — uplifting BIPOC booksellers and giving the floor to authors and writers who are writing from the margins. What happens when the margin takes centerstage? I feel a new literature and culture emerges, one that can define and tell of what has gone ignored or untold before. I am so thrilled to be joining The Word’s Writers’ Circle and look forward to supporting their mission."
