MeJah Books is a hidden treasure tucked away inside of Tri-State Mall. MeJah books has an immensely comfortable atmosphere which awakens one's cultural sensibilities with the abundance of high quality original art and posters, but comforts you with the smell of fresh coffee, and the variety of jazz-flavored music playing out of the speakers.
The staff is engaging and helpful as likely to be drawn into extended conversations about socially relevant topics as the sale and significance of books. In addition to the functions of the store, MeJah is the site of a number of poetic events, book signings, and even music concerts which make it a cultural hub of sorts.

“Letters to Ms. Em” are the reflections of Rainn-a young man who is presently doing life in prison. In 2006, he wrote a letter to Ms. Em which created a family-ship and changed both of their lives. In Rainn’s letters and poems he shares his desire to be a part of a loving family; his attempts, beginning at ten-years-old to fight-off an abusive step-father in order to protect his mother; the calling of “the streets” and the anger and pain that followed him into adulthood resulting in a conviction of life without parole.
In “Letters to Ms. Em” you will experience Rainn’s personal struggles to become the man he always knew he was destined to be. You will feel the compassion, the wisdom he earned from personal tragedies in his home and in “the streets,” which he is now using to mentor America’s youth heading down the wrong street.
While “Letters to Ms. Em” is heart-wrenching, Rainn’s writings demonstrate his commitment to redemption, rehabilitation, responsibility and reconciliation; they are filled with the message of hope and rich with his voice of change. In the words of Rainn “It feels good to be a part of something that’s living instead of something that lived just to die”
