Grammy award-winning artist Ashanti will show the other side of her artistry Thursday, as part of back-to-school event in Atlantic City.
The singer returns to Atlantic City 20 years after her debut self-named album. This time, she’s bringing her children’s book, “My Name is a Story.”
The event is sponsored by Demcats, the creation of Elijah Langford with his brother, Isaiah.
The first 100 children will get a free bookbag with the first 500 getting a copy of the book.
“To see people still get excited to see her is a blessing,” said the Langford’s mother, former Atlantic City First Lady Nynell Langford, who is Ashanti’s godmother.
“I’m the fairy godmother who cooks for her,” Nynell Langford said with a laugh.
“I’m just proud of her and my sons,” she said.
The event starts at 6 p.m. at Phantasm The Experience Selfie Museum at Tanger Outlets The Walk.
RSVPs are through Nynell Langford at nynelllangford@yahoo.com or (609) 432-9649.
