I Am Auesome Series
With strong words of affirmation, the I Am Auesome Positive Affirmations for Autistic Children Series aims to motivate children on the spectrum, while they are becoming who they are meant to be. “I hope they’ll know they’re enough.” The power they possess does not require them to change to fit society’s norms. They are AUESOME.

Drag Queen Story Hour
2022-02-28 16:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Online Event
Drag Queen Story Hour is a proud sponsor of Black Children’s Book Week! Check out our story hour with Felicia Minor and author A.K. Neer, founder of Hark Press Books as they read I wish I were a Unicorn.

Drag 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.
Felicia Minor
Felicia “Fefe” Minor is most known for her involvement in the community and being crowned Miss Gay Supernova USA Newcomer in 2011. Felicia Minor is an aspiring drag queen, entertainer, co-host and producer. Entertainer, social media guru, makeup artist and co-host of Let’s Have A Fefe with Felicia “Fefe” Minor & Freddy Prinze Charming, Felicia has been entertaining since 2007. She was crowned Miss Gay Supernova USofA Newcomer in 2011, and it was all downhill from there. 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!”
A.K. Neer
A.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. With a special spot for marginalized children and inspired by their own kids, they hope their books will bring awareness of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and positive self-concept to readers of all ages.
