Brooklyn Media Publishing, a 100% Black-owned media, marketing and music company dedicated to the Afro-America communities, will merge the “Women of Color” and “Men of Color” expos into one mega event, creating one of the largest celebrations of Black Excellence in the country. By uniting the two expos, the BE Festival will continue to have a positive impact on Black America by providing tools, information, and resources to navigate and address critical issues within the community. The festival will highlight and provide opportunities to exclusively showcase the African American culture. Attendees can expect two unforgettable days of educational seminars, workshops, and panel discussions, as well as shopping and entertainment. This will truly be a weekend of “Black Excellence.”
“Unity is needed in our country more than ever and that unity starts with us,” said Nathan Smalls, the creator and CEO of the Black Excellence Festival. “The BE Festival is about uniting our community to educate, elevate and entertain ourselves. Standing as a united front is where Black Excellence begins.”
