The Black Owned Media Equity and Sustainability Institute (BOMESI) is hosting its Black-Owned Media Weekend Juneteenth weekend in Tulsa, Oklahoma. From June 16th to 19th, attendees can gather at the Tulsa Club Hotel and the Agora Event Center to engage in meaningful conversations and experiences.
The three-day conference will unite Black media owners, publishers, and corporate agencies, brands, and advertisers. Through intentional and engaging customized programming, the conference will provide valuable insights on strategies to create a new way forward, the need to build a Black-owned media ecosystem, and the cultural revolution paving the way for the next generation.
The conference will feature keynote speaker Eboni K. Williams, attorney and Revolt TV Host, as well as other notable panelists such as C. Zawadi Morris, founder and publisher of BK Reader, Melanie Figueiredo, Advertising Executive of URL Media, and Alfred Edmond Jr., Senior Vice President and Executive Editor for Black Enterprise. Topics of discussion will include how Black-owned media can better protect the power of diverse storytelling, standing out and getting to the bag in the crowded world of podcasting, and Black storytelling in LGBTQ media.
As part of the BOMESI experience, attendees can take part in a walking tour of the Greenwood Rising Black Wall Street History Center and a tour of the Black Wall Street Times. For dinner each night, attendees will be given a list of Black-owned restaurants in the area to enjoy.
The BOMESI was founded in June of 2020 to unite and advance Black-owned media businesses and educate the public on the importance of these platforms. The institute provides resources to support Black-owned media outlets, which have been a beacon for Black communities in the U.S. and abroad for over 190 years. Generous sponsors for the conference include General Motors, the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, and more.
Registration is still open for the Black-owned Media Weekend and all are welcome to attend. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and experiences!
