I’m beyond excited to invite you to a powerful in-person event in Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, July 23, 2025 at 6:00 PM at one of my favorite Black-owned bookstores—44th & 3rd Bookseller!

I’ll be in conversation with the brilliant and hilarious Ashley Cobb, and we’re diving deep into my newest book, Drink Water & Mind Your Business: A Black Woman’s Guide to Unlearning the BS and Healing Your Self-Esteem.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “not enough,” wrestled with self-worth, or been burdened by the expectations placed on Black women—you are NOT alone, and this space is for YOU.

We’ll be talking about the ways we’ve internalized toxic messages and how we can begin to reclaim our joy, our bodies, and our self-esteem. This isn’t just a book talk—it’s a healing conversation, a sister circle, and a space for real transformation.

Expect laughter, truth-telling, maybe a little cussing, and a whole lot of love.

When: July 23, 2025 at 6:00 PM
Where: 44th & 3rd Bookseller, 451 Lee St SW, Atlanta, GA 30310

Come through, bring a friend, grab a book, and let’s sip this healing tea together. I can’t wait to see you there!
