ONIKAH ASAMOA-CAESAR

Onikah Asamoa-Caesar is the owner and founder of Fulton Street Books & Coffee. As a Black woman and feminist lover of books and liberation, Fulton Street Books & Coffee is a love letter to her younger self, a safe space for Black & Brown folks, an intersection and culmulation of her experiences as a Black woman in the United States of America. Though she calls both coasts home (Jersey made, Cali raised, special mention to Hazlehurst Mississippi), Onikah now proudly also calls Tulsa home. 

In 2013, she moved to Tulsa as a Teach for America Corps member. After her service, she worked on various state level criminal justice policy initiatives under the office of Senator Mike Johnston in Denver, Colorado. She helped launch the Birth through Eight Strategy for Tulsa, an initiative of the George Kaiser Family Foundation focused on creating a cycle of opportunity for Tulsa's most vulnerable families. She most recently served as a program officer focusing on the foundation's equity work. 

When she is not reading, Onikah enjoys good food, great hikes, and traveling with her little one.
