We have a new Regional Director, Damara Catlett, working in the Northern Mid-Atlantic Region...

My name is Damara and I’m the newest addition to the Better World Books team! I graduated from Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where I double majored in History and Africana studies. In addition, I finished my degree at the University of Pennsylvania this past spring. Throughout my undergraduate career I was always a very active student leader. I served as the president of the Black Student Union for two years and was a member of several organizations. Additionally, I worked as a library reference assistant for three years and interned for a State Representative.

I’m a Philadelphia native and a lover of the arts. Whether, it is a cultural event, concert or art exhibit happening in the city, I’m there! Moreover, I’m an avid reader, a lover of ethnic foods, a coffee connoisseur and passionate about politics and issues of social justice particularly concerning Africa. I also, fancy myself an artist sometimes and taught silk screening and enameling at a local art camp while in high school. Thus far, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with Better World Books and believe in our mission that literacy directly correlates to the expansion of opportunity and the realization of an improved quality of life.
