If you aren’t going to UNITY, there’s another conference that weekend in Atlanta that might be interesting for people who are interested in ways people of color are reimagining their relationship with media: Blogging While Brown.
A short description:
Whether it’s fighting the injustices of our justice system, debating racism in the media, the current immigration debate or celebrating our best and brightest, bloggers of color are a vital and viable part of the blogosphere who aren’t afraid to voice their opinions on a number of subjects, and are willing to take it to the streets in order to make that presence known. Bloggers of color are at an inflection point in the continued development of the blogosphere.
To that end, the Blogging While Brown Conference was born.
Our ideas and thoughts matter! With several other tech/blogging conferences such as SXSW, BlogHer and YearlyKos, it’s about time for something similar for bloggers of color which talks about more than technology and blogging, but how to use the tools available to us with the Internet in order to influence and create change in our world.
