The conference’s theme is “Black Boy Joy: Black Men Telling Their Stories and Truths” and will bring another year of fascinating and much-needed conversation from notable and critically acclaimed authors who explore similar and diverse genres.“Most often, we see the inequities that Black men encounter daily, whether it’s in their careers, social status, or dealings with the police,” said Dr. Georgene Montgomery, Chair of the Department of English and Modern Languages at Clark Atlanta University. “So, because of that, there’s never been a better time than now to celebrate our brothers and revel in ‘black boy joy.’ This year’s writer’s workshop will feature and highlight authors whose works are currently taught in both undergraduate and graduate classes at CAU and who exemplify and encourage great writing.”
The conference will kick off on April 16 with a poetry slam featuring internationally known and two-time Grammy-nominated spoken word artist and CAU professor Queen Sheba serving as mistress of ceremonies.
The Writer’s Workshop Conference will pair featured writers with kindred scholars to engage in significant conversations about their works and ‘black boy joy.’ Featured writers and scholars include:

A founding member/director of the New Renaissance Writers Guild, NYC, The Griot Shop, Memphis, and the Pan African Literary Forum, Flowers’ work is known for his focus on the African American experience. Flowers will discourse with Dr. Kameelah Martin, Dean of Graduate School at the College of Charleston and author of Conjuring Moments in African American Literature: Women, Spirit Work, and Other Such Hoodoo.
- Kiese Laymon, a Libbie Shearn Moody professor of English and Creative Writing at Rice University, whose bestselling memoir, Heavy: An American Memoir, won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. He will converse with Dr. Daniel Black, Clark Atlanta University professor and author of seven novels, including They Tell Me of a Home, The Coming, Perfect Peace, and The Sacred Place.
- Dr. Michael Datcher, author of the Ferguson-area historical novel AMERICUS: A Novel (Third World Press) and the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller Raising Fences: A Black Man’s Love Story (Penguin Putnam/Riverhead), a Today Show Book Club book of the month pick.

Are you in the market for a new laptop? If so, you should know that now’s a great time to go shopping for electronics.
But don’t just pull out your wallet and splurge on the latest device: There are some things you need to consider. You should know a thing or two or three about the specific laptops you’re looking at.
How Long Do Laptops Last?
Laptops are not built to last forever. Expect yours to work at an optimum level between three to five years. After that, you’re likely to see some functionality fade as its memory starts to get used up.
Another issue is compatibility. Manufacturers eventually make older model laptops obsolete due to updates and other tech advancements in the operating systems, which we’ll touch on a bit later.What To Look For In A Laptop
In this article, we’ll go over some laptop specifications that you need to be familiar with when shopping for one.
The first thing that you should want to nail down are the features that the laptop has. Some of the things to look for are:
Best Features To Consider
- Ports: How many ports does it have? You’ll need to know this when you consider the many accessories you’ll need.
- Does it come with Microsoft 365 and Office.
- Does it come with an adaptor? Make sure it does.
- Mouse: Is the mouse one that you can scroll freely with? How’s the navigation?
Exterior
The laptop’s exterior is another aspect that you’ll need to study thoroughly. Laptops typically come in “clamshell” exteriors or the 2-in-1 variety, which includes the portable nature laptops and tablets.
The 2-in-1 models typically give you more ports than the clamshell options, which is very important when it comes to connectivity.
Know Your Operating System
The operating system is the engine of your laptop. When you buy a computer, the operating system, known as the “OS’ will determine everything from your speed, display to software and hardware compatibility and memory.
Screen Size
Laptop screen sizes come in different sizes, typically up to 19 inches. Depending on how you’ll use your laptop (gaming, photo editing, etc.), you may need a large or small size.
When choosing a screen size, be mindful that the larger you go, the most limited your packaging options will be. The device will also be heavier as you add more size.
Memory
The more random-access memory (RAM) you have, the more processing power and speed you’ll typically have. This is very important if you plan to run several programs at once.
You’ll see some good deals with 4 to 8 gigabytes (GB), but you’ll want to keep in mind that those with 64GB and higher will typically handle most of anything you throw at them.
Battery Life
One of the most important factors in a good laptop is the battery life. You can typically guage the battery life of any laptop by going into its settings.
To make sure of your battery power, run a diagnostic test to see how old your battery is and how many hours it has become it needs to be recharged.
Final Word
There you have it: Everything you need to choose a laptop that you can live (and work) with.
