Loyalty Bookstores in Washington D.C. was founded in 2019 by Hannah Oliver Depp, a Black and queer bookseller who has spent her career working to diversify the book industry in order for it to better serve communities of color and queerness. They aim to be the neighborhood spot for wonderful books and unique stationery, gifts, and programming. Intersectional community is important to Loyalty’s staff, and they work hard to feature intersectionality within their store, programming, and promotions.
