In 2017, Nyshell Lawrence and her husband went on a date to a local bookstore. Upon finding a lack of representation in women authors of color, Lawrence vowed that one day, she would open her own bookstore to celebrate Black women.
Now, after a grand re-opening Jan. 8 at the Lansing Mall, the Socialight Society is a dream come to life for Lawrence.
“I thought it was something I would do when my kids were older, when I retired, but opportunities opened up,” Lawrence said.
