Born to Read T-shirt

$35.00

If your happy place is between the pages of a good book but capitalism refuses to let you live, this tee is your new uniform. Featuring a beautifully illustrated Black woman deep in her latest read (Restore Me by J.L. Seegars), the Born to Read graphic T-shirt celebrates the joy, power, and escapism found in Black literature.

 

Behind her sits a vibrant, detailed stack of iconic titles by Black American authors from Beloved and Kindred to contemporary favorites like Blood at the Root, Curvy Girl Summer, The Dark Place, and more. Every spine is a nod to the stories that reflect our lives, our history, and our imagination.

 

With pastel hearts, retro lettering, and a clock chiming “Time to go to work,” this design says what every book lover knows:

 

We were born to read. Everything else is an unfortunate side quest.

 

Perfect for book club meetings, literary festivals, library runs, and anyone who wears their love of Black Authored books proudly.
