Our Story Vision Our App is Now Live & We Need Your Help ! "I started The Nile directory when I was 17, in 2018, as a simple Instagram blog. In 2021, after studying web design, I built it into a website. Soon after, I took on the challenge of building an app, teaching myself everything along the way—first creating an MVP, and ultimately launching the app on the App Store and Google Play as a multi-vendor marketplace. Last year, a few volunteer advisors and developers joined to offer guidance, and our first funders provided financial backing. Now, the vision is larger than I can carry alone, and I’m inviting the community to help sustain and grow it through this next chapter. -Founder Easily shop Black-owned brands and book local services across nearly every category imaginable.

Though less than enthused to attend, new friendships offer strength and light. But what happens when the weekend ends and real life begins again? Treva Langston grieves still the loss of her husband of twenty-two years. Now, two years later, her heart is breaking again as her oldest daughter's travails come to light. Traveling from DC to St. Louis for a women's conference seems the last thing she should do, given the circumstances. But in St. Louis her path crosses with someone new--and her world turns upside down. Will it only lead to more heartbreak? Jillian Mason can't wait to attend the Living Word women's conference. She's done their Bible studies for years and expects God to show up in an amazing way. But the weekend delivers something unexpected--a discovery about her husband. As the state of her marriage hangs in the balance, Jillian is suddenly anxious about returning home. Faith Langston has always been a girl after God's heart. She loves Living Word studies and registered early for the conference. But at the end of her college sophomore year, she finds herself in circumstances she never imagined--with a heart that has strayed from God. She makes it to St. Louis nonetheless, with her boyfriend in tow--but how will she find her way back to God? Four women in different seasons of life converge at a women's conference--with a theme that charges them to run "in hot pursuit" for Christ. But how do they run when challenges seem insurmountable? And can they help one another navigate the difficult terrain?

But when her mother dies Imelda returns to Watersgate, choosing Jamaica over England. 1983 is still a couple of years shy of the great dancehall explosion in which artists like Shabba Ranks would sing how he "loved punany bad," and the village is still dominated by the Evangelical church and the thundering voice of Pastor Braithwaite.

But they haven't counted on Pastor Braithwaite and the crusading zeal of Evangelist Millie. As a Pentecostal fervor sweeps through the village, the tensions between old and new come to a head.

Back Books Off-Platform Shopping Danté Stewart Shoutin' in the Fire $25 You'll be directed to the brand's website to complete the purchase SHOP In Shoutin’ in the Fire, Danté Stewart gives breathtaking language to his reckoning with the legacy of white supremacy—both the kind that hangs over our country and the kind that is internalized on a molecular level. Stewart uses his personal experiences as a vehicle to reclaim and reimagine spiritual virtues like rage, resilience, and remembrance—and explores how these virtues might function as a work of love against an unjust, unloving world. In 2016, Stewart was a rising leader at the predominantly white evangelical church he and his family were attending in Augusta, Georgia. Like many young church leaders, Stewart was thrilled at the prospect of growing his voice and influence within the community, and he was excited to break barriers as the church’s first Black preacher. But when Donald Trump began his campaign, so began the unearthing. Stewart started overhearing talk in the pews—comments ranging from microaggressions to outright hostility toward Black Americans. As this violence began to reveal itself en masse, Stewart quickly found himself isolated amid a people unraveled; this community of faith became the place where he and his family now found themselves most alone. This set Stewart on a journey—first out of the white church and then into a liberating pursuit of faith—by looking to the wisdom of the saints that have come before, including James H. Cone, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison, and by heeding the paradoxical humility of Jesus himself. This sharply observed journey is an intimate meditation on coming of age in a time of terror. Stewart reveals the profound faith he discovered even after experiencing the violence of the American church: a faith that loves Blackness; speaks truth to pain and trauma; and pursues a truer, realer kind of love than the kind we’re taught, a love that sets us free.

Back Coffees & Teas, Food & Beverages, Kitchen Off-Platform Shopping Boon Boona Kathendu Kenya Coffee $24 You'll be directed to the brand's website to complete the purchase SHOP During British colonial rule in Kenya in the early 1900s, settlers displaced Indigenous communities, seized farmland, and enacted laws that barred Indigenous ownership while channeling research into crops like coffee to expand their own profits. In 1922, the colonial government established Scott Agricultural Laboratories to study high-yield, drought- and disease-resistant varieties, resulting in the creation of SL28—a Bourbon-lineage coffee known for its drought tolerance, rich cup quality, and enduring legacy despite losing some of its resistance over time. Today, SL28 remains prized for its smooth, complex flavor and plays a central role in our Kathendu Estate coffee, where it is blended with K7, another Bourbon descendant, to produce a cup that carries notes of blue fruit, brown sugar, and florals, balanced by bright acidity and layered with savory undertones reminiscent of tomato leaf, much like fine wine.

Back Books Off-Platform Shopping Trevor Noah Born a Crime $20 You'll be directed to the brand's website to complete the purchase SHOP Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime is a brilliant and witty memoir that illustrates an unbreakable bond between mother and son. Noah’s poignant prose creates a startling portrayal of his experience growing up in South Africa during apartheid. This memoir, while filled with Noah’s quick wit and humor, is a thought-provoking and insightful look into the life of a comedian who, quite literally, was born a crime. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! A “brilliant” (Lupita Nyong’o, Time), “poignant” (Entertainment Weekly), “soul-nourishing” (USA Today) memoir about coming of age during the twilight of apartheid “Noah’s childhood stories are told with all the hilarity and intellect that characterizes his comedy, while illuminating a dark and brutal period in South Africa’s history that must never be forgotten.”—Esquire Winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor and an NAACP Image Award • Named one of the best books of the year by The New York Time, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Esquire, Newsday, and Booklist Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle. Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life. The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

Their Cumbres del Poás lot comes from the volcanic slopes that surround their home, where rich soil and cool elevation create the foundation for clean sweetness and bold character. The Chacón family handpicks cherries at peak ripeness, guided by brix readings that measure natural sugar content. Instead of washing, they rely on carefully controlled natural processes that conserve water and preserve depth. The result is a structured espresso that layers ripe fruit and caramelized sweetness with the clarity only volcanic soil can produce, a signature of Las Lajas and the next generation of Costa Rican excellence.
