As Atlanta prepares for a landmark Kwanzaa season celebrating unity, purpose, and collective investment, the city is still vibrating from the explosive debut of Queen of Crowns — the moment the art world witnessed a new sovereign rise.
On December 15th, the timing could not be more powerful. With the 7-Day Kwanzaa Art Auction approaching, collectors, investors, and cultural leaders are calling Amirah Milice not just “one to watch,” but the next million-dollar artist in the making.
Her show opened to a standing-room-only audience of more than 60 supporters, founders, business owners, and collectors — all gathered to experience a body of work that redefines the visual language of Black womanhood. From the moment her new duality pieces were unveiled, guests understood they were witnessing a breakthrough: regal, emotional, deeply intentional, and commercially primed.
A Night That Shifted a Career — and a community
The evening evolved into a cultural milestone as a distinguished panel of influential women honored Amirah’s mission and expanding legacy:
- Edna Frenchwood, Chi Chi Films
- Tiffany Lewis, Tru Brand Media
- Erica Blevins, Oh My Nappy Hair
- Queen Ahneva Ahneva, African Textile Museum
Their collective insights echoed a single truth: Amirah’s work is emerging at a moment when the world is ready to see Black women crowned, centered, and elevated.
The evening was gracefully hosted by Braela Banks, whose regal presence and polished delivery added an elevated, luxurious tone to the debut — guiding the night with elegance befitting the Queen of Crowns. The emotional peak of the night arrived during the official crowning ceremony, presented by Soigné, the celebratory drink of the Art Trail Community. In a gesture symbolic of lineage and honor, Queen Ahneva Ahneva placed a hand-woven crown upon Amirah’s head. The room erupted — a standing ovation that marked the birth of Atlanta’s new Queen of Crowns.
The night closed with “Crown Work,” a stirring original performance by poet Lala, sealing the show in legacy and light.
A Rising Star Positioned for Major Growth
Amirah’s vision extends far beyond this exhibition. She is currently laying the foundation for a gallery dedicated to culturally impactful artists — a home for visionaries. Her debut made one truth clear: Amirah Milice is ascending, and collectors who move now will be entering at the foundation of a historic career.
