meet the curators behind our book boxes, with three women.
Mary-Ann Yazedjian, Curator of our BC Culinary Book Box, is a bookseller at Black Bond Books & Book Warehouse. She has been working with books her whole adult life. A degree in English Lit inspired her love of literature, and sheβs never looked back. She canβt imagine a career where she doesnβt get to talk about books all the time. ID: she had a light skin tone, short curly hair, and wears glasses.
HILARY ATLEO, Curator of our Indigenous Voices Box is Anishinaabe from Curve Lake, Ontario, but now spends more time in her husband, Cliff Atleoβs, Nuu-chah-nulth territories on the west coast of Vancouver Island. In 2017, after several years of experience in the bookselling industry, Hilary and Cliff opened Iron Dog Books. Hilary has a light skin tone, dark brown hair, wears glasses and is pictured smiling.
KERRI DOYLE, Curator of our Early Readers Book Box, is the owner of Books & Shenanigans. When she first moved to Victoria 10 years ago, she downsized and got rid of all of her books. She never recovered from that, and opened her own bookshop during the pandemic. Her favourite thing is to help people find their next great read. Kerri has a medium light skin tone, short grey hair, and wears glasses. she is sitting on a backwards red chair with bookshelves in the back.
