Queen of Katwe Ultimate Chess Giveaway #QueenOfKatweEvent

Queen of Katwe Event – Giveaway #2

QUEEN OF KATWE is an inspiring true story of a young girl named Phiona, who sold corn on the streets of Uganda who experiences a life altering experience when she is introduced to the game of chess.  Confidence, determination along with the support of her family leads Phiona on a life altering journey as she pursues her new found dream of becoming an international chess champion.  It’s a story of overcoming the odds and finding your inner Queen.

I remember when I first saw the trailer for Queen of Katwe scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed. I immediately squealed with excitement for three reasons:

  1. It’s based off of a true story of a female chess champion
  2. This female chess champion just happens to be Ugandan, where my family is from
  3. It’s a Disney film (need I say more?)

I am beyond thrilled to be able to walk the red carpet in just under two weeks for the world premiere in LA of Queen of Katwe. I got to sneak a peek at this powerful film when I attended the Pete’s Dragon Event last month, and have been singing its praises ever since!

I remember growing up and watching my father play chess but thought it was boring because I didn’t understand it. Fast forward to when my husband and I started dating and I saw how much he loved the game (he was collecting different ones at one point). I started to get into it once he explained to me how it worked. And he started teaching my 8-year-old son how to play as well. Just today, my son asked to join a nearby chess club! So we will definitely be looking into that.

      I haven’t played in awhile either. But my husband loves it and has been teaching our son. This movie has motivated me to get back to learning the game 🙂

    I have no idea on how to play chess. Maybe now it’s the time to learn.
