BY PEOPLE OF MELANIN, FOR PEOPLE OF MELANIN.

OUR SPACE
MELANATED39 is a platform created to offer a safe space for people of African Descent, it is filled with different forms of literature and media, all of which aim to educate, represent, unite, heal and uplift people of African Descent.
COLOUR SCHEME​
The black represents people of African Descent and the beauty and power of melanin.
COLOUR SCHEME​
The gold represents the royalty and importance of the motherland (Africa/Afrika/Alkebulan) each and every bloodline and our history.
OUR MOTIVATION​
What motivates us is the people who come after us and those who came before. It would be a shame for us to leave this earth with the problems that our ancestors faced for our children. So with this platform, we create a space where our people of melanin can come and simply be. Where we can be educated, uplifted, cherished, heard, and seen. This is where we come to see our reflections—see our faces, our features—hear our stories, learn about ourselves and our people. This is where unity and freedom start as we begin the journey to reclaim the mind and reclaim ourselves.

PAY WHAT YOU WANT
One of our main goals here at Melanated39 is for these books to be available to everyone because to us, they are more than just books, so in our space, we use a pay-what-you-want method. With this method, you can set your own price ranging from $1 and upwards by paying with whatever you have, whatever you can, or by paying with what you think the novel is worth or whatever the novel is worth to you.
MELANATED LANGUAGES
In our space for us, we are dedicated to offering representation to each and every one of us who share melanated blood, which comes with us highlighting the many languages we created by writing stories in our voices. Not only do we want you to see yourself in literature, but also hear yourself in literature. You matter and your voice does too. Each and every tongue we speak is special and deserves its own space.
