The first major conference for bloggers of color is in the planning stages. From preliminary posts at the Blogging While Brown blog site it’s destined to be a hit.
The comments include the dearth of bloggers of African and other descent (African, African American, South American, Carribean, Middle Eastern, Asian, Persian, Afro-European) in significant numbers at other more well known blogger meet-ups. This effort will help to rectify that and do a better job of presenting the interests and broader perspective present in the blgosphere as is reflected in the world.
I’m excited about what the planners have on tap so far. I’ve submitted my suggestions based on a couple of teleconferences I’ve had with other African American bloggers in recent months. The potential to leverage our talents on an international scale is truly immeasurable.
So what would you like to learn and who would you like to see at the first ever Blogging While Brown conference? Go to the link and chime in with questions and suggestions. Maybe next year WE will see YOU in Hot-lanta and explore and expand the possibilities together!
