Nationwide — Dr. Rosie Milligan brings the largest Black cultural event for Southern California — the Black Writers On Tour Conference & Southern California Black Business and Tech Expo under one roof in Carson, California, a Los Angeles neighboring city. This powerful, one-day event will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2020, from 10am to 6pm at the Congresswoman JMM Community Center, 801 E. Carson Street, Carson, California 90746.
For the conference’s twenty-fourth anniversary, Dr. Milligan will collaborate with RGMP—Reginald Grant Mentoring Program, a non-profit that works with youth nationwide, developing and delivering mentoring, STEM and academic English programs. The theme for 2020 is “Literacy is Everybody’s Business—Literacy + Technology Changes Lives.”
The conference will be more dynamic than ever, with seminars, workshops, and exhibits, highlighting writers, an array of Black businesses, literacy in the 21st century, and career opportunities. Participants will learn how tech and literacy are intertwined in the 21st century. Youth and adults will learn about opportunities in the technology sector.
There will be more than 100 Black authors, and 50-plus Black businesses, showcasing their products and services under one roof. Businesses today are facing new technology and global-driven business competition, and Black businesses must be prepared to meet the challenge. The publishing industry has changed; the Internet, social media, eBooks and print-on-demand have taken the publishing industry in a completely new direction. The days for aspiring writers to have to beg, wait and rely on someone else to publish their work are forever gone. Dr. Milligan has designed the conference to provide writers and aspiring writers with the practical information they need to be successful in the literary industry. There will be authors—local and from across the country—participating. For past events, attendance rose to over 3,000.
Black Writers On Tour & Southern California Black Business and Tech Expo are designed to connect writers with readers, and consumers with black businesses. There will be workshops and seminars for writers/aspiring writers, business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs and for the general public. There will be book signings throughout the day. You will get a chance to meet and greet authors and entrepreneurs from across the country.
