The History of Roses 🌹
In February of 2022 we produced a month-long installation pop up called "Roses, A Black History Month Experience". During this pop up we met many beautiful people, laughed, shared experiences, and talked books and music. Your support and excitement affirmed to us that a space with the energy to amplify the Black experience through books and music was needed in Las Vegas. We immediately set a plan in motion and 3 months later, The Analog Dope Store was born in May of 2022.
The Present 🎁
The Analog Dope Store is not your average bookstore. Founded by life and business partners, Rachelle and Charlie, Analog Dope is a reflection of our unyielding passion for books, music and art. Analog Dope specializes in offering a lovingly curated selection of books, vinyl records and an all around dope experience when you enter the space. As a Black-owned, woman-owned, queer-owned shop, Rachelle and Charlie have created a diverse and welcoming safe space that energizes the community and amplifies literature and music from Black, POC, LGBTQ, underserved and cultural communities around the world.
Since opening we’ve made a positive impact within the community by hosting free events, a Frist Friday vendor marketplace to support entrepreneurs and creatives, financial literacy workshops, author events, children’s book readings and more.
The Future 🔮
The future begins with imagination. Even though we are all uncertain what the future holds, it can be beautiful to imagine. Imagine your history, stories and characters that reflect your experiences. Imagine the music that has been and will be the soundtrack to your life amplified in one space. The Analog Dope Store is committed to a future that continues to raise the consciousness of the community through books, music, education and the transmission of the culture to the next generation.
