Mission:
Words as Worlds/justBook-ish is a literary gathering space that provides programming and events for creative communities in Dorchester. Culturally curated, radically influenced, and locally inspired, justBook-ish seeks to shift the narrative in the publishing world by housing a collection of books by writers whose work often challenges political paradigms. Partnering with numerous organizations and artists, it offers a centralized hub and networking space in a cozy and comfortable book-cafe setting. In addition to philanthropic support, revenue from books and beverages will help to offset the cost of operations and programming.
At justBook-ish, we believe every person is like a book: judge not by the cover, but by the content, remember each person has a unique story, and always take good care of your spine.

My favorite book is Going Home to Teach by Anthony C. Winkler. If my life were a book genre, it would be "Adventure". The past two decades, in particular, have been filled with challenges, serendipitous opportunities (like this one), and evolution. I've continuously explored new worlds, careers, ways of being, and human relationships." I can be described as a gritty, brave and hilarious (seriously) person. Stop by JustBook-ish and say Hi!
