Join us for an empowering and uplifting event with local author Addie L. Robinson as she shares her 2023 nonfiction book, A Queen Like Me: From Rags to Riches—a powerful story of resilience, personal growth, and self-worth.
Written with care for adult women from all backgrounds, A Queen Like Me follows one woman’s search for fulfillment in all the wrong places—and the many unexpected turns her life takes along the way. Her journey through setbacks, heartbreak, and self-discovery is both deeply personal and widely relatable, with a powerful twist at the end that challenges readers to reflect on their own path.
The event includes a reading, open Q&A and discussion, and a book signing with copies available for purchase. Light refreshments will be served, and attendees will be entered to win one of several self-care baskets, each including a signed copy of the book.
Free and open to the public—no registration required.
