- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. One of the pillars of our creative economy, the original Sweet Potato Queen, tells her amazing story of creating something from nothing by doing what made her heart sing.
Jill Conner Browne is the multiple #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Sweet Potato Queens’ Book of Love and eight other Sweet Potato Queens books. The self-proclaimed Boss Queen assembled a group of friends to participate in Jackson’s first St. Patrick’s Day parade in 1983, calling themselves the Sweet Potato Queens on a whim. Since that time, the Sweet Potato Queens phenomenon has inspired more than 6,200 chapter groups in 37 countries.

For those of you who don’t know who she is I highly recommend reading her books-they are effing hilarious. Full of southern charm and great recipes. She’s a gem 💎
OMG! I kept wondering what I was watching, and then I kept watching. She is a real hoot! Very funny lady. She has an awesome message at the end.
I'm at a point in my life that I really needed to hear this. I've never heard of this woman or the Sweet Potato Queens before, but I already love her/them.
Here because my coworker got me into the SPQ books years ago. Never binged a set of books so fast. Thank you!
Okay. Not so bad. There were a dozen times I thought I should just click away from here, but I stayed. She's okay with me. I took away something positive. I need laughter sometimes.
No, it's not click bait - Just a little something a bit lighter then what some folks were looking for.
Kudos to you, Sweet Potatoe Queen :)
I have no idea what I just watched. wtf is a sweet potato queen?
I really like her. She is super funny and she's also very honest. I didn't understand what I was watching at first, but I took away something positive. The world right now is such a mess, we are all so stressed and uptight, we all need that reminder that it's okay to let our guards down once in a while, and be silly and have fun. Also, I loved her accent!
I have loved this woman for 20 years. She's my hero and as I rediscover her, this day, as I purchase her books on Audible, having all that were available in hardback, in paperback, on cassette then on cd now electronic versions, I am laughing out loud. crying from gratitude and struggling to contain my need to buy the first book for all the new women in my life, the solitary quarantined, the funny, smart, acerbic, brave and no longer lonely of social media, old crones all.
Find a way to play. Yes, ma'am, My Hero SPQ, yes ma'am.
She is hysterical!
This wasn't what I expected, but it was exactly what I needed. I know you already said you're welcome, but I'm gonna thank you anyway, Sweet Potato Queen.
For those saying they want to try this, or put it on their bucket list...Do! It is the best girls weekend of the year. I'm getting ready for my 8th year.
So life saving. So true. She is wonderful.
I laughed so much watching this...but something was said that struck a nerve in me....Thank you, I needed that!!
I’ve had the pleasure of reading all of JCB’s books, and I’ve met her. What an amazing person!
I've been deep in the SPQ cult since 2001. Changed my life and my outlook on life, and damn, have I made some great friends. ❤️
what does SPQ mean?
Enjoyed it with the best smile 'I' was able to produce ... only 3278 views, I thought, such a shame, because THIS IS THE BEST CLIP I'VE SEEN ABOUT PRO ACTIVE LIVING AND NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING ... a little voice behind my right ear whispers: "maybe something to do next year ..." Yes ma'am, I'll put it on my next bucket list ...
I love this woman! She is awesome! Reminds me of my beloved aunt.
Yes, the title is a little misleading but this woman is so funny, I don't even care. I want to be a part of the Sweet Potato Queen Cult!
How do I join the Sweet Potato cult
Captain Chibi they've already gotten you. It's too late...
Captain Chibi, I'm asking that too
Me too
Read the books. Then find a parade.
That was simply lovely.
"Oh, dear God. I hope I don't die before I get to do that!"
If you are seeing this clickbait nonsense in the comments section just ignore and keep watching. If your feelin' a little low today, right here right now is exactly where you should be!
wasnt that great
👌
Great talk, very funny. Talk about Southern Charm!
Love this woman!!!
I do to . really I would love to get to know her
I could listen to this woman all day
Wow, she has a talent for humor! I really enjoyed her. What fun she would be for a friend!
I love her advice about dreams and so on
Such a great talk! ❤️
I love her!
Oh my gooooood i was laughing so much I LOVE her!!! Bless you sweet potato queen, i can assure you that you've brought much laughter and a little chocolate to my life today
“I figured it out were some kinda long lost bastards of the Windsor family, they’re probably out there searchin for me!” 😂
I love that Queen Elizabeth portion-as priceless as the Crown 👑 jewels themselves!
wonderful
Just joined the cult, thank you
She has a great sense of humour
I am pretty much what she wants to be, and I wish I looked like her.
I get it! I am 5 foot two, long red hair, green eyes biggish boobs...but i cant sing.
and...i always thought i should be a tall blonde. i would love to be a sweet potato queen we have wild purple ones here (in Hawaii)
i am also basically unemployable, so i always have to start my own companies. i am fifty something, and i plan on starting one in 2018 in a few days. But i much rather be a sweet potato queen.
Miss Browne, please send me an application. the only new skill i learned this year is having most my friends die and only go bananas for a short time.
p.s. i have seen all the good bands and can name that tune in onenote and know all the lyrics to every great rock song from the late 60s till 1980..
You can be both.
I'm not sure if this is the funniest person in the world, but I'm close to sure. What a beautiful person.
POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE
This woman is truly very funny! I want to join her cult too, lol!
I want to best buds with a Sweet Potato Queen.
best spuds😀
I hope this is me in 40 years
You can´t write the word difficult without the word cult in it.
Damn it! This wasn't instructive at all, I don't think I'll ever be able to lead a cult.
Hi could you please tell me what the song is at the start? :)
The conclusion was worth getting to, so I hope people get there. But it's some "God Stuff", just so you know. In God's Economy, nothing is wasted.
She looks a little like Sally Field.
She does man
To me she looks a WHOLE LOT like Sally Field - in fact they could identical twins!!
Were the sweet potatoes cooked when you threw them? 😮🍠
She's funny.
Im in a cult
It's not like she isn't funny, but this is just a stand-up routine.
This was playing in my sleep wtaf
So basically, she doesn't give any fucks, but does care a lot about that.
Andddd..... the god bit at the end 😒
Clickbait
what is the point of this speech???
To do whatever it is that will bring you, and others, joy. No matter what that may be, however ridiculous it may seem. She found something she could commit to that made her happy. "Playing" and doing whatever makes your heart sing is the most important thing. Especially when you're looking back in life. If you could take anything away from it, let it be that.
@@bridgetlarsen6912 So well said Bridget, great summation of a very entertaining talk. Thumbs up!
Well ... that was weird.
The deranged religion postsurgically guard because kayak preferentially unite like a plucky texture. tan, squalid icon
10 min and 24 seconds before you even hear the word cult. Quite misleading. Seems she uses the term "cult" jokingly. This is about someone with no skills joining a parade. Really don't see the point.
Her skill is bringing people joy. And that is not to bad, I'd say.
Not bad at all. :}
NymphetaminexXxGrrrl thanks i skipped ahead
Are you really a junkie nymphomaniac?
Then you clearly missed the point.
Not interesting
CLICKBAIT.......
worst ted talk EVER n i watch a lot
