Although people who identify as Black have varying backgrounds, distinct interests, and a variety of viewpoints, we are often treated as a monolithic collective — virtually indistinguishable from one another.
Monolith Stories exists to change that. We collect and amplify authentic Black narratives across books, stories, podcasts, and more. A space for Black people to be seen completely, authentically, and unapologetically.
We are just getting started.
Most tellings of Black history start in chains. Black history actually starts in ancient Africa, with kingdoms, scholars, warriors, and queens. A daily reader for families who want the complete story.
