Tamika Newhouse says by the time she was 12, she knew she would be a famous author. “I have always told stories through the written word since I learned how to write,” she said.
Once she was published at the age of 20, she began to look for ways to generate excitement around her work by creating event-filled book signings.
Meet Tamika Newhouse: Founder Of Black Writers Weekend
“There’s where my concepts of books, music, food, and fun came into play,” she says. “No one was doing it like that then so I began to brand them and invite other authors in a collaborative effort to bring more readers in. I eventually utilized my book club to create an award show for underrepresented authors and it expanded into a three-day festival.”
That festival is Black Writers Weekend, a refreshing event to celebrate black writers in film and publishing. The event takes place this year August 4-7, 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia.
“Experience the only weekend where you’ll meet your favorite author, screenwriter, podcaster, artists, and film & television stars,” she says.
In addition to getting the opportunity to network with like-minded literary minds, you can also expect:
- Meet up with friends at one of the Lit crawl locations which boast several authors in collaborative book signings.
- Intimate book chats with literary rock stars.
- Vibrant panels featuring Black male authors and screenwriters.
- Indulge in rooftop parties and socials so that readers can party with their favorite writers.
- Movie screenings, masterclasses, parties and more!
“Black Writers Weekend was explicitly created for creatives and culture lovers,” she says.
Newhouse says the event, now in its 14th year, is just one of many concepts she’s devised to showcase her work as well as that of other black authors.
“Today, I have elevated well over 10,000 writers and worked with every major studio and publishing house you can think of all because of my unique approach to book signings. It has been a blessing to bless others,” she says.
Although school systems are under duress these days from multiple issues,
Newhouse says reading should be especially important to the black diaspora, which has historically been prevented from educating their descendants.
“Think about our history, how our ancestors could not talk in their language, and they were forbidden to learn and to write,” she says. “Our bloodline, our culture, our sounds, our stories, our looks, and our energies have influenced every culture on this planet, and we must celebrate ourselves by telling our stories through written words, music, movies, and fashion.”
As a black writer, Newhouse says it’s important for scribes to make space for themselves, especially in a world where the history of African people and their descendants has been deliberately hidden.
“It is important to me because we are the mecca of everything, and I refuse to allow them to silence us,” she says. “So, I will be the platform that helps make us loud and proud! Go Black King! Go Black Queen!”
Black Authors You Should Read
Newhouse says if you want to check out some of the best authors in the diaspora, here are her top picks. We’ve included some notable works of each author.
- Terry McMillan: Getting to Happy, Who Asked You?, Disappearing Acts
- Eric Jerome Dickey: The Son of Mr. Suleman: A Novel, The Other Woman, Pleasure
- Mary Monroe: Empty Vows, The Book Woman’s Daughter: A Novel, Mrs. Wiggins
- Octavia Butler: Kindred, Parable of the Sower, Clay’s Ark: Patternist, Book 3
- And of course, Tamika Newhouse: The Words I Didn’t Say, The Ultimate No-No, Cookie: A Fort Worth Story
When Is Black Writers Weekend?
Black Writers Weekend is set for August 3-6, 2023. Learn more here.

You already know that your hair needs nutrients, moisturizers and more. But did you know that it can come from a farm?
Atlanta-based haircare company Ecoslay has partnered with local urban farm, Truly Living Well Center For Natural Urban Agriculture to harvest ingredients for their popular plant-based hair care products.
Through this partnership, Ecoslay and Truly Living Well have planted okra, chamomile, marshmallow, and amaranth. On top of that, the two will soon plant flax, slippery elm, ginger and horsetail. Already harvested ingredients like okra and amaranth can already be found in best-selling products like the Banana Cream, Jello Shot and the Sangria hair refresher.
“At Ecoslay, we believe in the power of community. With this partnership, we can ensure our hair products include fresh ingredients that are good for you, while also protecting the environment,” said Adria Marshall, founder & CEO of Ecoslay. “We all win if we work together. Truly Living Well is doing wonderful things for our city by providing fresh produce for people and agricultural education for our youth.”
Ecoslay was created in Adria’s kitchen back in 2015 when she couldn’t find the right products for her natural curly hair.
Adria spent countless hours mixing up concoctions to create what is known today as some of her best-selling products. Ecoslay believes in using only high-quality, natural, plant-based ingredients and sustainable packaging such as recyclable pouches and glass jars.
Through this partnership, Ecoslay will be able to actively support the Truly Living Well farm which is located near Morehouse College.
“Truly Living Well and Ecoslay share a similar vision of caring for our community, and protecting our planet,” Marshall said. “Together we look forward to planting a more sustainable and green future for our local community, and our customers.”

When you watch the Atlanta Braves game, these days, you’re watching a team that owns itself, so to speak. The winning Major League Baseball franchise has split off from Liberty Media, its owners for the past several years.
The team is now officially owned by Atlanta Braves Holdings, which will also own the ballclub’s associated real estate development project. The sale was completed on July 18, 2023.
You can also now buy stock in the Braves. The company’s stock began trading on Wednesday, July 19, 2023 on the Nasdaq Stock Market, under the symbols “BATRA” and “BATRK”, respectively. Atlanta Braves Holdings Series B common stock will be quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “BATRB.
Introducing Atlanta Braves Holdings Inc.
Both parties call the deal The Split-Off and it will allow Liberty Media to refocus its energies on live exhibitions that go well beyond sports. Meanwhile, the Braves will simply have the winningest team in baseball.
Both the Split-Off and Reclassification are subject to, among other things, the approval of Liberty Media’s stockholders at a meeting on on July 17, 2023 and the receipt of certain other approvals and tax opinions.
When Did Liberty Media Buy The Braves?
Liberty Media bought the Braves in 2007 for $1.5 billion. At that time, Time Warner owned the MLB franchise but sought to divest of sports properties.

How To Use LinkedIn To Find Jobs
LinkedIn is a great resource to find a job online. There are obviously other job sites out there, but only LInkedIn has a built-in social network where your future boss and colleagues are accessible.
Using LinkedIn to find a job used to be a lot easier when the jobs platform was separate from the main site. But in 2019, LInkedIn folded Jobs into the main site and app.
If you click on Jobs in the LinkedIn menu, it will show you the latest available jobs based on your profile.
Using the algorithm of jobs you’ve searched for on the site, LinkedIn jobs will appear that you may be interested in.
Once you find a job and choose to apply for it, you’ll have two ways to do so:
- Some jobs may allow you to use the Easy Apply feature: This will allow you to immediately send your resume to the employer in the LinkedIn interface
- Other companies will forward you to their career site to go through the full process of filling out an application online
What To Do After You Apply
After you apply for a job on LinkedIn, this is where the site punches above its weight: Remember those connections you added to your network?
Circle back to them to tell them that you applied for a position and would appreciate a reference. Linkedin makes it easy for candidates to ask for a reference and add it to their application.
Last Words
LinkedIn has a lot more features that can help you find a job. One of the best ways to take advantage of the site or app is to continue to build your connections.
Your network will be the way that you get exposed to new jobs and employment opportunities that you may be interested in.
Finally, don’t think you need to spend a large amount of time on the site. Try to check in for a few minutes every other day or a few times a week.
