Queen Pens is set to tour nearly 10 cities in 2018 in their quest to inspire, inform, and entertain. Queen Pens is a traveling production that brings women face-to-face with their favorite authors and celebrities. First up is Black Writers Weekend, which will be in Atlanta.

The promo says “These Queens will lead the curious creatives, the around-the-way girl, entrepreneurs and dream seekers, to spark conversations around self-love, creative control, dreams, and creating balance between ambition and love.”
The Queens will be in Atlanta on June 10 to helm a gathering at the Georgia Beer Garden. Attendees are encouraged to network and rub shoulders with other talented ladies, be entertained, and enjoy a live conversation filled with laughs, tears, and cheering. Women come to feel inspired, laugh and get away, activate their dreams, mix and mingle, and cultivate new friendships in an amazing and beautiful environment!
When it comes to thoughtful discussion, a panel will be moderated by blogger Mikey ATL and feature Myss Shan, Jessica N. Watkins, LaShonda DeVaughn, and Tamika Newhouse. Collectively, these talented ladies have sold over 2.5 million books and have a reach of over 150,000 readers worldwide.
