March Focus: The Power of Economic Boycotts & Black-Owned Businesses
March is here, and with it comes a renewed commitment to economic empowerment, literacy, and collective growth. This month, RMF Publishing is shining a light on the power of the Black dollar, the importance of shopping small and local, and the impact of reading, journaling, and joining community-driven groups that align with our values.
For generations, economic boycotts have been a strategic tool for change—from the Montgomery Bus Boycott to present-day initiatives pushing for economic justice. One of the strongest forms of activism is choosing where we spend our money. By supporting Black-owned bookstores, publishers, and entrepreneurs, we build wealth within our community and create opportunities for future generations.
How You Can Participate in the Economic Boycott
✅ Shop Black-Owned: Purchase books, journals, and products from Black authors and entrepreneurs.
✅ Invest in Your Knowledge: Read more, learn more, and share knowledge within your community.
✅ Shop Small & Local: Support independent bookstores and local businesses that reflect our values.
✅ Join a Community: Connect with local book clubs, writing groups, or organizations that align with your beliefs.
✅ Spread Awareness: Encourage friends and family to buy Black and support small businesses.

Author’s Corner: Spotlight on Two Chicago Authors
This month, we’re featuring two dynamic Chicago authors whose books you don’t want to miss!
📚 1. Vanessa Brown – Mirror Conversations
"Mirror Conversations" is a thought-provoking journey that delves into the depths of self-reflection, personal growth, and the intricate dynamics of human relationships. This compelling book helps you reveal profound insights and unforgettable moments in your life that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page. Perfect for readers who enjoy and grow.
📚 2. Deana Dean – The Village of Chloe
The Village of Chloe is a republication of the first novel, Boy Crazy, which is a coming of age story of a young lady growing up on Chicago's South Side. An unplanned teen pregnancy forces Chloe into adulthood before anybody (including her slightly older boyfriend, Terry) is ready. The Village of Chloe is a story about love, betrayal and familial bonds.
