The Tapestry of Black Voices Awards, presented by Conversations in Color, is excited to announce that students from Wilson Academy will serve as the hosts and announcers for this year’s awards ceremony. This collaboration showcases the voices of a Black-owned, accredited private institution offering K-12 college preparatory education in Conyers, Georgia, catering to the entire Metro Atlanta region.

The Tapestry of Black Voices Awards honors creativity and expression within Black communities across seven unique categories. These include HBCU & BSU Conversations, Black-Owned Shout Outs, Our Future—Gen Z Convos, Community Issues, Generational Wealth & Health, It’s Good To Be Black—Loving the Culture, and the Gumbo Pot category, which embraces a variety of important topics not covered elsewhere.

"We are honored to collaborate with students from Wilson Academy; their involvement signifies the emerging leaders within the Black community," stated Lana Reid, Founder and President of Conversations in Color. "Their participation weaves together the various voices of our communities while also motivating future generations of Black leaders and storytellers."

This year's awards ceremony will be held online, inviting viewers from across the country to celebrate the excellence of the Black community. Submissions for the awards open on May 1 and close on May 30, 2025. Winners will be announced during the broadcast on Juneteenth, June 19, 2025—a day that holds deep significance and a celebration of freedom and progress.
