Our Mission

At Kitbow, we pride ourselves in being an online bookstore that caters to black audiences from around the world. Our aim is to provide titles mainly by Black Authors for our audiences. We provide the foundation to help black people shape their own stories; narrate their own past, present and future; and to centralize a repository that access their own stories

What We Do

We provide “knowledge” in all format and we believe that “what you don’t know will hurt you.” That is why our mission is to bring to you a diverse and large library of Titles that provide you with knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of your past, present, and future.  Plus also empower and engage you with leisure readings.

When we say diverse titles, we really mean diverse. Our goal is to have a “global library of titles” from a wide range of black nations and locations:  Africa, The Americas (North America and the Caribbean), South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, etc.

Our goal is to offer titles in various formats including: hardcover, paperback, ebooks, pdfs, articles, and audiobooks. Plus other formats such as such as podcast and videos.

We want to provide a dedicated portion of our site that specifically focuses on black history. We want our catalogue to consistently grow day by day to million titles. If you have titles you want to add to our library, please let us know.

At the moment, we only offer a listing of books but hope to move toward actual book purchase on our site in the future.

I’ve just happen to come across this site looking for black authors. While  I did not find what I am looking for since it seems to have a limited selection of books, I think I will visit it again in the future because from what I see, it looks very promising.

I like the idea of an online bookstore that is afro-centric.
