Now in its third year, the Black Authors Summit is a vibrant gathering that celebrates the voices and stories of Black writers. Hosted by Symone Tucker and presented by O.B.F.C. and B.A.M.C. in partnership with Grassrootz Bookstore, this special edition highlights first-time authors who emerged from our Black Authors Masterclass—turning powerful personal stories into published work.

Attendees will enjoy author spotlights, live readings, and real conversations about the path to authorship. Whether you're just starting your writing journey or looking to connect with other creatives, this summit is for you.
