Edim is the sort of person who is always working on a project. She tells me about the various websites she’s started over the years. “I had a website back in the day called ‘I Hate My 9 to 5,’” she says one afternoon at Cassette, a cafe a few doors down from her employer’s (Kickstarter) Greenpoint office. The long-defunct blog doesn’t refer to her current job, which she started in March. Edim created another one, “Paper Collective,” that was origami-themed. It’s a surprise, then, that Well-Read Black Girl came about by accident. The name itself was a kind of present: Her boyfriend had made Edim a t-shirt that read “Well-Read Black Girl” for her birthday. The design, mocked up to look like a university seal, perfectly described her. “I would be out in public and people would be like, ‘Where do I get your shirt?’ I was like, oh, people really love this. How can I make this real life?”Glory Edim is the Future of Reading -- source link
