Concrete Loop music contributor Brian Davis, CL creator/editor Angel Laws and CL daily contributor Christine Imarenezor pose for a photo after their presentation at the 2011 Blogging While Brown conference in Los Angeles, California this past weekend.
Angel, who was also the keynote speaker at the event (video below), also held her first book signing after the presentation. The 26 year-old was also honored at the Black Weblog Awards with the “Lifetime Achievement Award” for her contributions to the urban blogging community. Congrats to her and the whole CL team.

looking good Angel…do ur thing gurl!!!
Your hair is HOT Angel…I see you Brian & Christine…Angel do you have a stylist or you style yourself? Im asking cause it seems like everybody who is anybody in New York has a team & a stylist is the first on that team.
I style myself. I’m actually getting into styling now. Look out for a post on that soon. Or read my personal blog, http://www.angelonfire.com. Thank you for the love!
Congrats Angel u deserve all the success
ANGEL WITH ALL THE SUCCESS I’M GOING TO BE YOUR “NO MAN” TODAY!! PLEASE STOP WEARING THAT UGLY AZZ BLACK LIP STICK! IT MAKES YOUR LIPS LOOK LIKE YOU’VE BEEN SMOKING SINCE BIRTH!
lol!!
THAT’S A GOOD LOOK ANGEL! I’ve been reading CL since the beginning and the blog has mos def evolved. What I enjoy about CL is that it’s not hateful and negative like other blogs (SR). There’s a way to “keep it real” without being mean and hurtful. I also appreciate the accurate news stories. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK CL!!! And Angel, you lost an ass of weight!!!!! You should do a story on what made you drop the pounds. You look great! Much love!!!
MY WORDS VERBATIM……
Great post. I agree completely.
Where is the “like” button!
LOVE THIS COMMENT
Welldone CL!! Although y’all are sometimes slow with news but at least they’re always based on QUALITY. Unlike TMZ
thank you handsome Bruh! I really appreciate your words
Angel you inspire me to get on my grind. Congrats to you and continued success in the future.
Peace and Blessings…
where did Christine get her shoes from? I like the print..
The shoes are from Boxing Kitten. I love them too! ^_^
Brian’s edges though… – ______ -
Ugh. Stop.
ANGEL YOU LOOK GOOD! KEEP IT UP
Congrats Angel and concreteloop, I’ve been a frequent visitor since the beginning of time! I’ve probably left a comment once (back in the days when everyone was competing to leave the 1st comment lol)…. None the less I wish you continued success.. **FYI I adore the quality of your site, but can you please take the time and post more updates?? There are times that I find myself browsing that ol’ “media*******” site. You and your staff stay beautiful!! ~~Ken
Congrats Angel and the CL Staff! Your award was much deserved and I wish you much success in the future.
After reading through your book in two days, I’m inspired and motivated to start my blog, for me, regardless of the money opportunities.
NICE! Congrats! This is what it’s about!
Lol! I like the commentary at the end of the video!
“It smell like oranges over here!” Lol!
Angel you look amazing! Love peace and blessings for continuous success!
Yes Christine, WE need the origin of those shoes ASAP! I am living for those!
LOL They’re from a clothing line inspired by African print. The name’s Boxing Kitten ^_^
This is just great Angel! Keep on doing what you do!! : ) REAL TALK!!
Congrats Angel, is it me or have you lost weight?
yeah I lost some weight. LOL!!!
Congratulations Angel!
Love CL, always have. Keep up the good work.
I am so happy for you, Angel! I have been keeping up with CL since I was living in Taiwan and now I am living in China and so much with the site has evolved since then. And with the way the government of China is here with blocking so much from outside media, I NEED my CL to keep up with what is happening in the celebrity world back on the west side of things.
CONGRATULATIONS ANGEL!!!
Congrats on your success, Angel!
Wish I could have gone to the signing.
Just bought the book, can’t wait to read, seeing as of how this is my fave blog (:
Congrats on all your success CL. This is by far the best, most un-biased and sophisticated blog that predominantly covers black celebrities. I appreciate the way you also manage to incorporate stories about politics, black history and random uplifting articles about everyday black people that have accomplished amazing things ( stories I probably would never get to read elsewhere). Thank you, thank you for all the amusement and information. You guys are doing a great job! You truly have a relentless Stan/groupie/stalker in me!
Congrats Angel on the hard work & success. Keep up the good work and Mediatakeout.com should take notes from C.L. on being a wonderful & badass site.
Oh yeah. Angel, Christine & Luvvie – you three are very Gorgeous. Stay Beautiful.
Your next book should be about weight loss and fashion!! You look great!
Congrats on the progress this site is making and to the individuals that are helping in that process..

Wow, check you out Angel! I just wanna say that I stumbled across this blog way back in December of 2005 and been coming back ever since. I have seen your growth and your success. I love your hair and your style fits you. You seem so confident and happy. You looking better than ever, child! Wish you the best.
CL has been my staple for entertainment since it started… keep up the good work.. I love this site…. even the ‘crazy’ bloggers… Bless!!!
Why does Brian look like Bobbi Kristina? AND Angel what went through your mind when you put on that dried raggedy carpet on ur head? You could have done without it!
Again Angel, many congratulations to you! I loved your speech and the book is great. For those that don’t have it yet and are interested in the REAL in blogging .. please pick it up! It’s money well spent.
Go Angel! Receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award @ 26?! Wow! Keep contributing positive unbias work to CL. Bring back the Black History segments too; I miss those. You and your team look great in the pics btw.
The BHS are on hiatus, we always put those on hiatus during the Summer. J. Dakar will be back with new ones later this year. Thank you for the love!
Congrats Angel and the concreteloop staff. I found your site back in October of 2006. All through the years I’ve enjoyed reading all the comments that people made about celebirties, black history and what’s going around the world. Your site is very positive and the other bloggers need to learn a thing or 2 by you. Please keep up with the good work and bring back your fashion editor Tionna.
Hi! Thank you for the love! Tianna quit blogging after she got married. We miss her too.
