Considered as the first in Southeast Asia, Aesop Philippines just launched The Queer Library, which is an event at SM Aura branch, that runs from June 26 to 28. No purchase necessary.
As I participated in this initiative, a lot of people lined up to this on its first day as well.
There were minor inconveniences but their team did well. We are all learning just the same.
As a brand that goes all in for the queer community (and book lovers alike), I would definitely support them in every way.
As for the books, below are the titles available in the store (with themes and authors from the LGBTQIA).
I got Jerico Silvers' "Of Flowers that Bloomed at Night". Coincidentally, I was actually looking for the book at a certain store the past days. You can just picture my joy when I finally got my hands on this.
While I'm at it, I did some research. Aesop is an Australian luxury skincare and body care brand. They provide soaps, cleansers, fragrances, treatments, and home deodorisers to name a few.
They also held The Aesop Women's Library giving away complimentary books by female authors.
Thank you so much for this experience.
The brand will be under my radar for holding inclusive initiatives.
