Africa Shines at NAACP Author Pavillion to Showcase Authors of Color

I am so excited to currently be in the city of Las Vegas as a featured author at the NAACP Author Pavillion. This year, Africa Shines at NAACP Author Pavillion to showcase authors of color. To say we’re excited to be a part of this dynamic opening event for the 105th NAACP convention would be an understatement. We’re looking forward to sharing our journey and our mission of Whose Shoes with the NAACP community and beyond.

The Author Pavillion is an annual part of the convention that is free and open to the public. It is produced by Mocha Ochoa-Nana of The Oracle Group.

The following was shared in a recent press release from @NAACPPress:
