Your Queens, Incorporated, a 501(c)3 organization, is the first registered African Royalty character company depicting the stories of non-fictional African Kings and Queens. In the costume entertainment industry where most characters are fictional, their mission is to evaluate, educate and express the dynamic lineage of five real African women - Queen Amina of Zaria - Nigeria, Queen Makeda of Sheb
a - Ethiopia, and Queens Cleopatra, Nefertiti and Goddess Isis of Egypt. "I started Your Queens because it felt like the right time for today’s youth and adults to learn about the beautiful royal lineage of African Queens through costume characters” says Ekiuwa Asemota, Founder, Eki’s Famous, LLC, a Jewelry and Performing Arts Company, and Creative Director of Your Queens. “With the support of family and friends we began to bring the story together. At a time where it feels like we are experiencing a cycle of injustice, racism, depression, doubt and fear, Your Queens is a way for us to share the historic stories of these women in a positive light. What better way to express it but by entertaining while learning.” Through storytelling, song and dance, each Queen, adorned in royal costume, will share their dynamic history with the audience, while bringing joy, building self-esteem and confidence through beauty, legacy and power. The presentation will also include drummers, music, “African Princess” head wrapping and face painting for all the kids. Photography services will also be available. Read the history and view images of each Queen in costume at www.yourqueens.com/ekit. After a March launch with a live event, Your Queens are scheduled to participate and will be available for bookings including birthday parties, exhibits, museum add-on theme parties, school presentations, monthly series (Black History Month, Women’s History Month) and other special events.
