Pausing to remember and honor the brave men and women whose sacrifices shaped the freedoms we experience every day. Their legacy lives on in the communities we’re free gather in and the simple moments we sometimes take for granted.

At TBB one freedom we are especially grateful for is the ability to expand our minds through stories, creativity, art and the diverse voices of authors who help us see the world a little differently with every page we consume πŸ“š

Thank you to those who gave so much so we could live freely, dream loudly and continue sharing stories + moments together.
