Ann Marie Sorrell, Jamaican born philanthropist, author, award-winning business leader and entrepreneurial woman, will make her second debut at the 2019 Essence Festival in New Orleans. Sorrell’s book, Chronicles of a Serial Dater was chosen to be sold and displayed during Essence Fest in their popular bookstore as part of the Convention Center festivities. In 2018, Sorrell sold out of her books well before the convention center events were over, making her one of the few independent authors to do so.
“I’m excited about my return and being a part of Essence Festival’s 25th Anniversary!” said Sorrell. “It is a blessing to have the opportunity to connect with women from all over the world and share my dating and relationship experiences and advice with them. The feedback and reviews I received from women who purchased and read Chronicles of a Serial Dater last year has been nothing short of positive. I look forward to encouraging and bringing laughs to more women this year, Essence Festival is a great way to get my book’s message across to a large captivated audience.”
This year Sorrell will also partake in several offsite events which include appearances at the Grown & Sexy All White Affair on July 5th, Best Damn Day Party Period on July 6th and the Grown & Sexy R&B Brunch July 7th.
Sorrell’s book, Chronicles of a Serial Dater, is a journey through the good, bad, funny – and steamy – of dating and relationships told through short stories that all end with a tip for the ladies and a tip for the fellas on the lesson(s) learned from each situation.
