As the 2017 BET Awards are just over a month away and as with the years before, the weekend leading up to the big event is usually packed with much for fans to get into. Known to provide enriching and pleasant experiences, BET’s 2017 plans aren’t shaping up to be anything different than that. Continuing on with their BET Experience, this year’s panelists and hosts for the  2017 Genius Talks series have been revealed.

Hosted by Charlamagne Tha God, BET has called on a wide range of celebrities and public figures from various avenues. Stars like Tracee Ellis Ross, Nick Cannon, Issa Rae, New Edition, and so many others, will be providing some insight to their humble beginnings, to just where they are now. Even the likes of Baltimore, Maryland’s State’s Attorney, Marilyn Mosby will be teaming up with Pusha T to touch on the serious effects that long-term incarceration has on Black and Brown communities.

Flipping it back to the music, acts like GoldLink, Cardi B, Dave East, PnB Rock, and various others, will serve as the musical guests for the experience at hand, for the BET Fan Fest. If this looks right up your alley, tickets for the promising event are on sale, now.

In any shape, form, or fashion, this doesn’t sound like anything to miss.
