About our facilitator

Jamie Anderson was born and raised in Wisconsin, spending the last 12 years in Madison where she studied at the UW-Madison and worked at the University of Wisconsin Press in Rights and Permissions. She discovered her love for bookselling when she took a very part-time position at a downtown bookstore. What began as a few hours a week quickly grew into a passion, eventually inspiring her to dream of opening a bookshop of her own. After exploring several communities, Jamie found her vision in Beloit, where she plans to put down roots with her boyfriend and two sons after her youngest graduates high school next summer.

About The Rogue Bookshop

At The Rogue Bookshop, We Believe That Stories Have The Power To Build Bridges, Spark Curiosity, And Foster Community. As An Independent And Inclusive Bookstore In Beloit, Wisconsin, We Are Dedicated To Celebrating Diverse Voices, And Offering A Welcoming Space For All Readers. Our Mission Is To Cultivate Connection, Inspire Discovery, And Champion The Transformative Power Of Books—One Reader, One Story, And One Rogue Idea At A Time

We’re stepping up, will you join us?

On Saturday, September 13th, the Beloit Rising Professionals team will participate in the 19th annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®, walking through downtown Janesville to raise awareness and stand with survivors. The walk is symbolic, but the impact is real—and we’d love your help in making it happen.

As Rising Professionals, we believe in the power of community to engage, empower, and connect—especially when it means showing up for others. This walk is one way we put those values into action.

How you can support:

  • Make a donation toward our team fundraising goal

  • Contribute to the silent auction (gift cards, event tickets, artwork, etc.)

  • Join us for the walk or come cheer us on!

All funds go directly to YWCA Rock County, which last year provided 2,639 nights of shelter and served 990 individuals through advocacy and support services. Their goal this year is to raise $40,000.

Thank you for standing with us—and with survivors.
