Homegrown Luminance

Vibrant paint strokesCelebrating African Heritage Month is a chance to embrace the vibrant communities of African descent and the unique African Nova Scotian culture that contribute to enriching our province.

The Dal Bookstore is committed to showcasing diverse voices and perspectives. We acknowledge the significance of representation and the varied threads that weave together the fabric of Nova Scotia and beyond.
 
That's why we are proud to feature these inpiring and creative African Nova Scotian businesses and the people who drive them forward. Their products are not only superior in design and quality, but the foundation of these businesses goes beyond supply and demand. They are rooted in community, inclusivity, and giving back.
 
Homegrown Luminance is also an effort to celebrate the community engagement demonstrated by these individuals and the positive impact made through their actions and products.
