Bowie, we’re making history on purpose.

On Sunday, December 21st from 2:00–4:00 PM, best-selling and award-winning author and entrepreneur Carl J. Gray III is hosting his first-ever book launch and signing experience, and you’re invited to be in the room.

This is not a “pull up, sign a book, and leave” kind of day. This is celebration, community, and opportunity in one place.

What’s happening at the event

You’ll be able to:

• Get all three of Carl’s books signed in person
• Grab event-only book bundles and specials
• Register on-site for the Raising Founders Young Entrepreneur Camp
• Access coaching program deals and giveaways available only at the event
  

Why Bovanti

Carl could’ve done his first signing at Barnes & Noble across the street. Easy play. But he chose Bovanti on purpose.

Bovanti Cosmetics and Spa is Maryland’s first Black-owned cosmetic store and spa, and the first Black-owned cosmetic store in the state period. The owners are also fellow Hamptonians.

So this launch is rooted in something bigger: supporting small business, building community, and celebrating legacy the right way.

Who should come

• Entrepreneurs and business builders
• Parents raising young founders
• Teens with business ideas or active hustles
• Supporters who believe in community economics
• Anyone who wants to celebrate a real milestone in real time
