It's about time.

If 2007 has shown anything in the vast landscape of the Internet, it's that bloggers of color have power, and they're using it.
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 simliar for bloggers of color which talks about more than technology and blogging, but how to use the tools available to us with the Interent in order to influence and create change in our world.
The Blogging While Brown Conference will take place in Atlanta, GA July 25-27, 2008. More HERE
Note: I plan on attending the conference. I hope to see you there!
