Founded in August 2020

NDN Book Nerd

Originally founded as Indigenous Book Club, it began from small YouTube creator, Carolann Duro, and some of their mutuals they had online in August 2020. The idea was birthed out of a video series Carolann had created that was discussing Indigenous studies and language books. It became clear after nearly 500 interactions on a tweet suggesting the idea, the only place that could host that many people was Discord. What was just a pipe dream, in a manner of days flourished into a 300+ person social space and book club for all. Now Indigenous book club has amassed 500 members and over 2,000 followers across social media.
After careful consideration, Indigenous Book Club was then morphed to become NDN Book Nerd, a Bookstagram account dedicated to reviewing and recommending Indigenous authored books. NDN Book Nerd often posts book lists of various Indigenous genres, reviews just read novels, and collaborates with Publishers to promote recent Indigenous book releases!
