A safe space for Black men to come together, share, and learn about self-care practices for their mental, emotional, and physical well-being

Losing a loved one can leave us feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and lost. At Queens, we believe in the power of sisterhood, especially during life's most difficult moments.

Charlotte African American Book Festival celebrates African Americans contributions to literature, books, literacy, and the literary culture. It will be held Saturday, October 14th, 2023, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the historic Second Ward Gymnasium/Brooklyn Village located at 710 E. MLK Jr. Blvd. in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina.

The African American Book Festival was built to give the cemented and newly emerging authors, bookstores, and publishers of our culture a platform to spread the messages that are embedded in the pages of their iconography. With one goal in mind, we want to educate, entertain, and impact the Charlotte community through African American literature, by shining light on the stories told in their books.

This event is a great opportunity for community members to meet and engage with their favorite black authors. There will be several featured authors.

Come out to support your authors, meet them face to face, get pictures, buy books at discounted prices, network with other professionals, and bring back reading books into normalcy and support authors in spreading their messages.

What can you expect?

This event will feature author and publisher exhibits, author discussions and book signings, entertainment, networking and door prizes. Books available will be suitable to all ages; from children, teenagers, young adults to adults. Authors will present fiction, poetry, nonfiction, memoirs, self-help, and spiritual offerings.

This event is free and open to the public. Come enjoy this free community Festival that celebrates the beauty, power, passion, and excitement of the written work.

This event will be featuring international human rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee. In support of a Colorado man, Ebenezer Norman who has used his passion for education to provide over 1000 children access to education in rural Africa.

One thing we can all agree upon is everyone is passionate about something, whether or not you have discovered it yet. "There is no time to rest until our world achieves wholeness and balance, where all men and women are considered equal and free". This will be an amazing opportunity to engage in global and community issues about how local community members can help turn "our upside-down World, right-side up."

An event designed to equip pastors to minister to needs of today.

A Native comedy show with local and national Indigenous comedians.

Racism is at the forefront of all conversations today in this country. America was built upon racism and is a part of all systems and structures. In order to eliminate racism, white America must solve this problem. The Black community is critical in giving whites and other non-Blacks the real history and the Black experience.

The first step is to acknowledge white privilege. To do that, we invite you to join us and take the "White Privilege Test" during "Come Meet A Black Person" networking event where non-Blacks interact genuinely with a group of diverse Black people. "Come Meet A Black Person" is an open forum for human beings to start better relationships with each other across our cultural and racial differences.
