“I attended my first book festival as an adult in Brooklyn,” said Saraciea J. Fennell, who was photographed here by @elias.williams. I thought to myself, ‘This is amazing. Why doesn’t the Bronx have something like this?’” This weekend, she’s making it happen. On Saturday, the Bronx Book Festival, organized by @sj_fennell, will bring writers, illustrators and industry professionals to the community, as well as a vendor to sell books on-site. The #Bronx has been a bookstore desert since 2016, when a Barnes & Noble once located in the Baychester neighborhood closed, despite community efforts to save it. For Saraciea, who was placed in foster care when she was 8, books were an escape. She spent most weekends at the library and bought books with her allowance. By 13, she was again living with her mother, a Honduran immigrant Saraciea calls an “oral storyteller.” Later, a professor encouraged her to enroll in City College’s publishing certificate program. In tandem with the festival, she is launching @thebronxisreading, a literacy program that will target underserved schools. “I really want them to see that there are people of color writing books,” she said of the students.
