Solange Knowles has announced the launch of Saint Heron Community Library, a platform created through her Saint Heron creative agency. Curated by Atlanta-based For Keeps bookstore owner Rosa Duffy and sponsored by beauty brand Aesop, the library features rare and out-of-print books, catalogs and essays authored by or highlighting the work over 50 Black authors and artists.

The concept of a library was recreated with a website designed by Angela Adesuwa and developer Celso White. The library will be updated every season with selections by new guest curators.

Press on the effort reads: “We believe our community is deserving of access to the stylistically expansive range of Black and Brown voices in poetry, visual art, critical thought and design. The library’s focus is education, knowledge production, creative inspiration and skill development through works by artists, designers, historians, and activists from around the world.”

Authors include Ntozake Shange, Adrian Piper, Cedric Dover, Lucille Clifton, Susan Krane, Benny Andrews, Ruth G. Waddy, Auther Huff Faucet, Rosa Bogar and many more.

Covers and a few pages from the current selection of publication are available to read online from October 18-29, 2021. Books may also be borrowed for free for a period of 45 days. Items lost or damaged while on loan will be charged to the borrower at the full replacement cost with credit card information on file, together with delivery charges where applicable.

A very deserving appointment for Chioma Nnadi, who A very deserving appointment for Chioma Nnadi, who becomes the first Black woman to hold the role of head of editorial content for British Vogue. She succeeds Edward Enninful, who now holds a global role at Condé Nast.

Prior to working at US Vogue in 2010, Nnadi held editorial roles at The Fader and Trace.

In press about the appointment, Nnadi  shared, I’m beyond excited and honored to have been appointed as British Vogue’s head of editorial content. As someone who was born and raised in London, the energy of the city, its boundary-pushing style and creative scene, has shaped the way I look at the world."

She added, "Now, more than ever, it feels like a moment to look beyond borders while also celebrating the broad scope of what it means to be British. I’m looking forward to engaging a loyal and inspired digital community that is energised by our access, point of view, and storytelling.”

Congratulations, Chioma!!
