Recently I had the honor of meeeting the lovely and powerful Queen Afua.
For those who may not know who she is, she is the author of such books as "The sacred woman", "Heal Thyself" and "Overcoming an angry vagina."
The event was for a grand opening for The Afrikan Woman Institute of Atlanta.
I received some powerful messages and
I saw some things that I did not expect to see at the venue.
Some danced and some cried.
I danced.
SoulSeed Tees was a vendor as well and I learned some valuable things that I wanted to share:
- Know your venue
- Check out the facility where the event is to be held
- Find out if there is an admission to get in & if so how much
- Make sure there has been adequate advertising
In keeping my experiences real
I have to say that economically working the
event was not worth the 5 hour drive or the money that was spent
because there were not enough people,
the facilties were small and there was an admission to see Queen Afua speak on Day 2 .
Charging an admission affected the spending of the buyers at the event on Day 2 I think.
There are many elements to consider when working events I see.
By no means am I knocking the Afrikan Woman Institute of Atlanta.
I think as they grow they will be valuable to the community.
The venue was just not very beneficial to the vendors that attended.
Does anyone else have any tips or shared experiences on vending?
I am all ears.
