My name is Nikki High and I am the owner of Octavia's Bookshelf, a Black Woman Owned indie bookstore in Pasadena, CA featuring books by BIPOC writers. You will almost always find me with a book, needles and yarn or behind my sewing machine listening to audio books. I have been an avid and passionate reader for my entire life and I am so delighted to share my love of all things books with everyone I meet.
