Creating A
Space For
Black Authors

The Black Authors Festival was founded by two professional Black women who wholeheartedly know the power of literacy, education, family, community, and Black Power! It is in that vein in which the nationally recognized Festival celebrates and supports Black authors and prospective Black authors. 

It was curated to acquaint and re-acquaint Black people with the notion of penning and publishing their own stories. Additionally, as strong proponents of literacy, the Founders are taking an active role in working toward the annihilation of American illiteracy, especially in the Black community. They recognize that when we tell our own stories, we leave a legacy of truth, empowerment, mobility, and fortitude.
