Jill Conner Browne

The Jill Conner Browne talk describes her personal story and part of the background behind the Sweet Potato Queens. Originally a feature in the Jackson St. Patrick's Day parade, the Sweet Potato Queens has become an women's organization with 6200 chapters internationally and a movement with the speaker at the center.

The self-described leader and object of a cult, the speaker has written several books that also support the organization's empowering message of positive thinking and fun. This includes Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love, God Save the Sweet Potato Queens and most recently, American Thighs: The Sweet Potato Queen's Guide to Preserving Your Assets.

As evidenced by the Jill Conner Browne talk, the motivational association is extremely inclusive.
