Minnesota Black Authors Expo (MBAE) is celebrating our 8th year. This year’s theme is “Bringing Black Books To Life” which will be resounding not just for one day this year, but throughout this year and 2025. For the first time, we will change the expo format and provide quarterly expos in different locations throughout Minnesota. We want to dispel the misconception that MBAE is strictly a Minneapolis organization.
