Neer\, founder of Hark Press Books as they read I wish I were a Unicorn. \n\nDrag Queen Story Hour celebrates reading through the glamorous art of drag.  Our chapter network creates diverse\, accessible\, and culturally-inclusive family programming where kids can express their authentic selves and become bright lights of change in their communities. We envision a world where kids can learn from LGBTQ+ herstories and experiences to love themselves\, celebrate the fabulous diversity in their communities\, and stand up for what they believe in and each other.\nFelicia Minor\nFelicia “Fefe” Minor is most known for her involvement in the community and being crowned Miss Gay Supernova USA Newcomer in 2011.

Since discovering foundation that matched her skin tone\, she’s been making a name for herself as one of the most creative queens in Arizona. She’s always willing to lend her talents to up-and-coming entertainers\, helping with pageants\, makeup\, and teaching the new generation of divas how to channel their own brand of fierceness\, reminding them\, and everyone else\, to “Rock their fabulosity!”\nA.K. Neer\nA.K. Neer (also goes by “Zen”) she/they\, is passionate about writing and producing books that include diverse characters within stories that encourage and empower young readers to know\, accept\, and be their authentic selves.
