Rapper Noname Opens A Free Library To Service The Black Community In Los Angeles

Noname made a dent in the music industry with her debut mixtape “Telefone” in 2016. As the Chicago rapper rose to stardom, unlike most celebrities who embrace the capitalistic structure, she boldly challenged the dominant framework. And she has not let up since. Beginning in 2019, the poet created the NoName Book Club with a coalition of activists sharing one goal, to provide “reading materials for the homies.” The online book club selects two books a month written by people of color surrounding a social justice movement. Just two years after its inception, Noname has yet again raised the bar with a step that will help books become more accessible for Black and brown communities. even better, we a library so everything FREE 😏💛💛💛 https://t.co/yK09gkLW9X — 🌊 (@noname) October 3, 2021
