If you were ready to participate in Black Owned business, then your were at this years NY Black Expo East which was located at the Hotel Pennsylvania in lower Manhattan. The Event was on the 18th floor of a beautiful hotel filled with presence and POWER! While the African American community has been struck by the violence of alleged racisim, we have bound together to keep HOPE, FAITH and BUSINESS alive! The well planned and orchestrated event was powered by the newly black owned Radio 109.3NY, who stole the show with their radio personalities; who were funny and crowd motivating.
