Q&A & Honest Dialogue: Engage in a transparent conversation addressing the intersections of progressive theology, Black queer identity, and professional authority.
Community Connection: Connect with a room of peers, faith leaders, and community members who understand the journey of building a life that holds all of who you are.

The Night That Redefines How You Show Up, Stand Out & Step Into Q4 with Power
Flamingos don't blend in.
They stand in flocks — unbothered, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore. And so do you.
The Flamingo Effect is an intimate evening for 50 women who are done performing for the algorithm and ready to step into Q4 with power, presence, and purpose.
Hosted by TEDx Speaker, author, and Strategic Visibility Advisor Shanel Evans — this is the book launch celebration for The Dangers of Digital Fame and the room you'll wish you'd been in sooner.
What's waiting for you:
Wine + sparkling beverages from BIPOC and Women brands
Live calligraphy — custom bookmarks made just for you
A signed copy of The Dangers of Digital Fame (included with every ticket)
A curated luxury vendor marketplace
A Conversation with Friends — an intimate fireside chat with Nicole L. Brown, entrepreneur, and author of the book's foreword
