Marva Allen: The Woman Behind Hue-Man Bookstore

DateSunday, May 23, 2010 at 10:50PM

After running USI, a multi-million dollar tech firm, Marva Allen retired, moved to Harlem, and wrote two books. She even stopped by a fledging bookstore called Hue-Man to persuade the owners to carry her novels.

Instead of buying her books, Allen became CEO and partner of the company. Under her leadership, Hue-Man has become the must visit place for any writer looking to reach an audience of color.

Allen has also created The Power of One, an organization to encourage Harlemites to continue spending their money in the community. For $1, you can purchase a discount card that is good at many stores and restaurants throughout Harlem.

For more information on Hue Man Bookstore and Café, or the Power of One, please visit: http://www.huemanbookstore.com/ and

Story filmed, written, produced and edited by LHRN.
