The Black Books Matter Podcast is where community, culture, and passion meet the world of books and business. Hosted by Derrick and Ramunda Young, husband and wife founders of MahoganyBooks, this show is a celebration of Black bookstores and the entrepreneurs who take the risks to serve their communities. Each episode invites listeners into the heart of a movement, spotlighting bookstore owners, as well as publishers, influencers, and creators who have turned their love for Black literature into powerful engines of change. These are not just business stories; they are testimonies of resilience, vision, and the unshakable belief that books can transform lives and communities. Listeners will also walk away with practical wisdom—entrepreneurship lessons, business tips, and insights for living with purpose and passion. At its core, The Black Books Matter podcast is a love letter to the power of books, the brilliance of Black culture, and the determination of those who dare to create against the odds.
