Black Ink:

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!!!
