Review
"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

"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

"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.
