Editorial Reviews

Review

"WOW! Tamika's book Queens Communicate is superb! I have attended communication courses, pageant seminars and have read several books and none of them compare to the insightful information that Tamika has provided for pageant contestants. Her book is a MUST for new or developing contestants! I highly recommend reading her book and bringing her to speak at any event." --Trena J Bradford, 7-Time Titleholder, Coach, Director and Author.

"Queens Communicate! is an excellent tool for all women in pageants, either new or veteran competitors. It provides wonderful examples of defining your purpose as a potential titleholder, as well as highlights how to achieve your personal best through pageant participation." --Jennifer White, National Director of Beauties of America Pageant, Miss Michigan USA 1997

"Great book!...This piece will be very instrumental in building stronger more competitive contestants. I think you have explained things very well, it is simple enough that the novice contestant can understand, yet a great reminder and refresher for pageant veterans. I am going to make it mandatory that all of my contestants in future competitions read this magnificent book." --Anthony O. Vann, Acclaimed Writer & Director of Miss Black North Carolina Pageants and Mr & Miss Teen Essence Pageant
