In addition to all of our amazing unicorns, mermaids, princesses and fairies, we have some really special human guests!
April Showers, Afro Unicorn creator
If you've been into a Walmart, Target or JC Penney lately, you may have seen Afro Unicorn products scattered around various departments, including toys, party supplies, clothing, jewelry, hair & beauty supplies, school supplies, Holiday supplies... and the list keeps growing. The brilliant, visionary woman who created it all is our Guest of Honor for 2023! April Showers is a world class entrepreneur, based in LA, with boundless energy and multiple business under her belt. She created Afro Unicorn to empower and inspire women and girls of color to celebrate their unique, magical power. And the brand has caught on like wildfire. April is the first woman to have her own brand licensed character in major retail!
And, WHAT a character! Afro Unicorn is the coolest unicorn to join the herd in a LONG time. We love all unicorns so much, and this one has a special message ... Be kind, spread love, and remember that you are unique, divine and magical!
April will be at the amazing Afro Unicorn Booth all weekend - except when she's up on the Main Stage with Magical, the Afro Unicorn Mascot! They promise a rollicking, inspiring presentation - both days at 1:00 pm!
