ATLANTA - State Representative Tanya Miller (D-Atlanta) will serve as the moderator for the BLK OPS Roadshow Panel at the Military Influencer Conference TOMORROW, Tuesday, October 1, 2024, from 6 - 7:45 p.m. at the Signia by Hilton Atlanta World Congress Center.

"I am honored to moderate The BLK OPS® Roadshow Panel, which will feature powerful stories of resilience and empowerment from inspiring leaders," said Rep. Miller. "This event is a unique opportunity to connect with high-ranking military leaders and engage with trailblazing entrepreneurs and academic leaders who are breaking economic and social barriers-all for the betterment of our community. Plus, we plan to have some fun while we do it!"

The event panelists will include retired Brigadier General Remo Butler, former U.S. Army Captain Tracey Lloyd, who is a West Point alumna and the Executive Director of the Emily J.T. Perez Foundation, as well as Leo Damiron, who is a former marine and the Military & Veteran Strategic Partnerships Manager at National University.

The BLK OPS docu-series and Roadshow aim to capture and share the stories of underrepresented veterans in the United States Special Operations Forces from post-World War I to today. The goal of the Roadshow is to foster understanding between community members who have served in the military and those who have not.

After the panel discussion, there will be a "STAND UP: Comedy Night!" event featuring U.S. veteran comedians Thom Tran and Rita Brent and headliner, Donnell Rawlings.
