Looks like a few “Beach Babes” Coloring Books will be available at ‘Grandma's Place’ Toy Store located in Harlem, NY! The store itself is black owned by “Grandma Dawn” and has been around since 1999. It feels like something that is meant to happen.
It’s exciting in that it’s the first physical shop to house the “Beach Babes” Coloring Book but Beach Babes having black main characters, drawn by a Black Artist and now they’ll be located in a Black owned Toy Store in New York City, where the great “Harlem Renaissance” took place. For those unaware the Harlem Renaissance is a time period considered to be the golden age in African American culture, manifesting in literature, music, stage performance and art. Also having been born and raised in New York myself it seems meant to be.
2023 has proven to be off to a good start. Hoping that Grandma’s Place continues to thrive. While it’s still available here in the Aqua Ink Shop, I hope that the “Beach Babes” Coloring Book finds space on more shelves soon.
