The 2023 Queens Meeting had a theme of KNOW.GROW.HEAL for our second annual event which set the tone for a day of empowerment and self-care for all the Queens in attendance. The event was emceed by the dynamic duo of Dr. Ayanna Balogun and Rakayla Simpson, who kept the energy high and the audience engaged throughout the day.

​

One of the highlights of the event was Sheba's powerful performance of her original poetry, which left many attendees feeling inspired and uplifted. Rising Queen Lauren also recited two of her own poems, showcasing the talent and creativity of the next generation of Queens.

​

The keynote speaker for the event was Rev Juju, whose message of "Sit down and let God do it" resonated deeply with the audience. Rev Juju reminded the Queens of the importance of taking time for themselves and resting as mothers and powerful women. She also emphasized the power of black women and their special way of holding things together, even in the face of adversity.

Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many noting that the room was filled with love and sisterhood throughout the day. The message of self-care and empowerment was received with open hearts and minds, and attendees left the event feeling inspired to continue on their journeys of growth and healing.
