New at Expo 2004 Announcing the SoulJourn Travel Pavilion! Plus, The Wedding is Back! Before I say anything, please don't forget to vote! Today (March 2!) This month, we are excited to announce our partnership with Patrick Riley's SoulJourn Magazine. Riley has agreed to spearhead the Travel Pavilion and is planning all kinds of exciting travel related activities. To read the details, click here. Last year, for the first time in six years, we decided not to do the Expo's Africentric Wedding. Many of you called to ask about how to enter to win the wedding . There was so much disappointment that there wouldn't be one, I decided to reinstate the wedding! Now, to host the lavish wedding as we have in the past, we need your help in spreading the word to sponsors for the Expo in general. Click here to download a flyer you can post in your businesses and places you frequent. Stay tuned for details! Looking for a restaurant? A Black-owned store? A Black Media Outlet? Before you buy, check out the Directory! It's The Place to Go for Something to Do in Los Angeles/Southern California. Until next month, click around!

Not only is the family growing through birth, it is growing by marriage. Two weeks ago, our own son got married at the young age of 21. I think I just aged 10 years." |
