    THE BLACK BOOKSTORE DOCUMENTARY TEASER SALONThe Butterfly Effect:How Reading Changes Communities

    Special Guest

    Dr. Rana Dajani

    Professor of Molecular Biology

    Founder, We Love Reading

    Author, Five Scarves: Doing the Impossible What if the simple act of reading together could become one of the most powerful tools for rebuilding communities?


    This special Black Bookstore Documentary Teaser Salon welcomes internationally recognized scientist, educator, and social innovator Dr. Rana Dajani, founder of the global We Love Reading movement, now active in more than seventy countries. Her work demonstrates that meaningful social transformation often begins not with large institutions, but with ordinary people who choose to read aloud to children in neighborhoods, parks, libraries, and community spaces.

    Her philosophy mirrors what historians have long understood about Black bookstores throughout America. These spaces did not simply sell books—they cultivated readers, thinkers, organizers, entrepreneurs, and movements that reshaped American democracy.
