This week I had a chance to speak with Angela. She's the coordinator of "Black Ink", a community expo put on by the Chesapeake Public Library to give local creatives a place to present their abilities! She's been leading the event over the past few years and they are looking forward to the event happening on Saturday, September 25th.

Want to go? Just pop in!!! The event is free and open to the public. Below is an outline of the expected events
