My name is Dominique and I'm the book obsessed owner of Paperbacks & Frybread Co. Wife to a crafty ginger and mama to 6 little bear cubs. Member of the Lumbee Tribe. Writer. Artist.
This shop was birthed from my love of of the written word combined with my passion to get back home to my roots.
Embracing my cultural identity gave me a sense of community, and that's what I wanna pass on to you. A community centered around nerdy goodness, the written word, and appreciation for all.
If you've read this far, we should be friends. Come over to my TikTok and let me know you came from the shop!
Love You 3000,
Dominique
