Photos from Storyland Reading @ Kinfolx
This past June I read at a great cafe called Kinfolx in Oakland for a team of story lovers called “Storyland” started by Indya McGuffin and Bean Tupou. They are a new organization trying to bring stories to families.
It was a great event and my brother Eli Jacobs Fantauzzi (Fist Up Films) came through and blessed us with some photos from the event!! This one above is me sitting behind Indya and Bean.
During and after the readings they had coloring supplies and pasta shells there for making necklaces or bracelettes! Activities are always a hit with kids; especially those who have wiggles and want to move their hands, arms, etc.
Here’s a photo of the amazing set up Marcus Books had at the event! In case you didn’t know, Marcus is the oldest Black owned bookstore in the Bay!
Chapter 510 was also there with books created by young people and information about the incredible work they do as a literary organization that gives kids instruction and space on creative writing.
Here are some fotos from my portion of the reading. Eli really captured the work Bean and Indya put into the event because it was packed with families!
This was super fun and a great way to spend Juneteenth reading stories featuring Black families:) The babies had lots of questions and very cute comments to share as always!
That’s it fam. I’ve linked all the folks involved so please scroll back up to learn more about them.
Dig this? Check out these fotos from my visit to Alvarado elementary in Union City.
