Meet Our TEAM

Created by Thomas and Danielle Jones of DanieBJones Events LLC, the Black Owned Small Business Expo (BOSB) gives black small business owners a place to collaborate, network, sell and promote their products and services to an audience specifically designed for them. The BOSB Expo has expanded to include small business resources, workshops and seminars geared toward business and personal development, all to help start-up businesses and entrepreneurs explore the possibilities and opportunities that are available. The BOSB Expo is held twice annually once in the spring and on the Saturday following Black Friday (Also known as Small Business Saturday). We are committed to helping businesses grow not only through our events but year round through our network.

As we grow we are constantly looking to expand into other cities and partner with similar brands to spread the love of Black Entrepreneurship to other communities in order to CHANGE THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS!

1:30PM

3:00

Highlights 1:30PM Raising Vaginas The idea behind "Raising Vaginas" is to provoke an evolution in parenting. To help cultivate a COMMUNITY that empowers our girls with the knowledge they need to be able to develop self love before they decide to love someone else romantically. I want to create a sex positive culture that raises our girls (and boys) to be aware of pleasure without having to share a sexual experience prematurely with someone else. In my book, I share helpful ideas on ways to have those difficult conversations to help our boys to develop a level of RESPECT and appreciation for the female body, its functions, and capabilities outside of sex, and, to help our girls navigate those life experiences with POWER!
