Mil Mundos is holding down space for the Black and Hispanic character of Bushwick. Mil Mundos Books, founded in 2018 by Maria Herron, is currently the only bookstore in Bushwick east of Myrtle Ave. Nearly 50% of its titles are available in Spanish—the dominant language spoken in Bushwick. According to Herron, she initially founded the shop so “two people can talk excitedly in any language without being told to keep the volume down.” And as a place where Black, Latino, and Indigenous heritages can be celebrated and explored, this safe space acts as a “Bushwick activist Spanglish bookstore” for all to enjoy.
