The ESSENCE Authors™ experience will give festival attendees a chance to get up close and personal with some of today’s top Black authors & content creators. You will feel motivated and encouraged after this activation, and you will also have a few new books to add to your collection.
This experience will be filled with insightful discussions and book signings with notable authors such as Tamika D. Mallory, Jeezy, April Ryan, Michelle Williams, Kevin and Melissa Fredericks, and many more!
