The Queen’s Project

Marion F. Walker established The Queens Project as a cultural literacy initiative operating through The Legacy Access Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in California. The organization produces educational programs and cultural events focused on children's literacy development and arts exposure. Their work centers on connecting Black women authors and artists with youth through structured learning experiences. The signature program "For the Love of Music, Art, and Reading" combines author readings, art exhibitions, and live performances in multi-day festivals hosted in Anaheim and Akron. These events feature professional workshops, moderated panel discussions, and interactive "living storybook" presentations incorporating spoken word, visual art, and musical elements. Ticket proceeds from these programs directly fund free reading assistance services for local children. The Queens Project maintains digital platforms on Instagram and YouTube to share educational content and event information. Their programming model integrates three core elements: literacy skill development, arts education, and community engagement. The organization offers tiered admission options including VIP experiences to support their educational initiatives.
