Black Women Empowerment: The Royals
SIGNATURE EVENT - August 12, 2023
Ward Creative Studios’ Black Women Empowerment: The Royals is the highly anticipated signature evening black tie event to celebrate Black advancement, joy, and excellence. This event is an enhanced experience and extension of my annual Black Women Empowerment Photoshoot – to uplift, highlight, and honor Black women in cultural and business spaces in the greater Des Moines area. It amplifies the unique experiences of the modern Black woman through relationships, entrepreneurship, development, health and well-being, and leadership. This signature event is a safe space for Black women to connect the Black woman experience across cultures, sectors, and generations. *For Black women who currently live in the Greater Des Moines/Central Iowa area. 21+

Meet the talents and voices behind the scenes!
Left to Right: Tina Branch, Weslyn Caldwell, Myself (Keesha Ward), and Jazzmine Brooks.
These ladies have taken part in past Black Women Empowerment Photoshoots. They understand the assignment of being welcoming in spaces where we are; they're connected in the community; fill in gaps of knowledge and expertise; know how to have a good time; get thangs done; and are able to genuinely bring diverse Black women into this space.
