hi, i'm OG, the curator behind Literally Black

Artist, book lover, and forever committed to centering Black literature 365 days a year—not just when it’s trending.

let's collab

At Literally Black, I center Black stories and authors through authentic partnerships that resonate with a community of engaged readers. With a reach of over 71K on TikTok and a growing Instagram presence, I connect my audience with powerful stories in ways that feel genuine and lasting.

If you’re interested in collaborating, here are a few ways we can work together:

  • Book Features – Submit your book to be considered for a Cookout Selection or a social media spotlight. Please include your book’s details, a short description, how to find it, and wholesale pricing if you’d like me to purchase copies.

Note: Not every book submitted will be chosen as a Cookout Selection. Titles are selected carefully and months in advance.

  • Content Partnerships – From sponsored posts to ARC tours and bookish features, I love creating content that connects readers with new stories.
  • Events & Experiences – Partner with me for author talks, panels, or cultural bookish events that center Black literature and joy.

We receive many requests, so please allow some time for us to review and get back to you.

Thank you for considering Literally Black.

I’m always open to discovering new Black stories and partnerships that truly resonate with our community.

Please keep in mind that I receive many requests, so follow-ups should be limited. If I’m interested, I’ll reach out directly.
