It was nice to finally be amongst good people, and the Expo was phenomenal! So many great people there— Tariq (ofc) and Taurean Reign, Brother Ben X and Rizza, Afro Elite, and many great creators. Good times.

From what I understood it was open to anyone who believed in the ideals irrespective of lineage.

I had no doubt it would be successful with that kind of lineup.

No matter anyone thinks of Tariq, he gets numbers.

FBAnerdist said he was going, did you go?

[Roparker71]

I am gonna have to go to one of these events when it is in the South again. Hopefully Memphis, Birmingham, AL or Atlanta.

I agree

 

[Roparker71]

What didn't you like about Keke's performance?

Maybe it was me, it kinda threw the vibe off...

 

[ZxBro]

Glad it was a success but I expected it to be....!✊🏿💯

We’re the breakout rooms packed? Taharka Bey has been posting pictures that show them to be kind of empty. What did it look like from your perspective? It looks like more people showed up for the Keke performance than they did for the workshops.

Wow. This would mean that some of our folks don't want empowerment but rather want to be entertained.

I don’t think all of are people are but some of these splinter groups are galvanized based on entertainment under the guise of empowerment.

Cecil Turtle wasn't even there... in the earlier hours there wasn't very many people... my wife and I got there early so there wasn't too many people there... around noon, people started really coming in... the workshops and seminars had quite a few people there... overall, it was a success (in my opinion)...

Was Bey sh*tting on the expo? Or am I reading this incorrectly.

Me & the wife got there early... in the early hours, there wasn't very many people... around noon-ish, it started to fill up... was it wall-to-wall? No... but there were quite a few folks there... personally, I thought it was a success...

But I wanted to know more specifically about the breakout rooms. Taharka seems like he embellishes a bit. He showed some pictures of the HHM to make it look empty on comedy night but it was packed.

There weren't very many people in the rooms in the earlier hours... it picked up around 11:30... so yeah, he embellished...

Yes. Didn’t see anyone I knew though other than Taurean and Afro Elite.

I was a volunteer. But I just went to meet people.

I’m not even sure which were the breakout rooms. I guess I missed the workshops too. Didn’t see Taharka there. It was pretty moderately packed. Definitely not sparse at all. He must have been very selective about his pictures.

Real talk...

Yes he said it wasn’t a success. But based on something Tariq said on a live I think he’s disappointed with the turn out himself. He said he spends all this money trying to out shine on other people and they are ungrateful he says it’s time he puts some shine on himself. I think it’s crazy to hear that coming from him after we gave him millions but it is what it is. I don’t know what is going on behind the scenes so I can’t judge.

This is refreshing to see.

I'm guessing it was in the morning when it was empty.

Likely so
