Comic book stores, although there are many around the world but not many owned by Black people, let alone by a female, but that all changed when Ariell Johnson opened her store Amalgam Comics & Coffee on December 14, 2015, becoming the first Black-Woman Owned comic bookstore in the East Coast. Since then she has garnered national media attention because of her commitment to representation and inclusion. It was all dream when studying accounting at Temple University. It took 13 long years to make her dream come true, now her comic book store which is located in the Kensington area of North Philadelphia is a celebration of all geek culture. A place for comic book fans, hardcore gamers, movie addicts, television connoisseurs, and zombie apocalypse survivalists to meet, and with their powers combined, change the world a little bit.

A. C. E. would like to congratulate her on being a great representation of Black People and YOU ARE BLACK HISTORY.
