Nia Peeples Comic Con U.K. Message



 "I accidentally left out one very important detail… 😄

The Comic Con I’m attending in Birmingham (July 11–13) is also a Pretty Little Liars reunion! ✨

I’ll be there all weekend, so if you’re a fan of Pretty Little Liars, Fame, or Walker, Texas Ranger, come by and say hello!

Then on Sunday, I’ll be hosting a free meet & greet focused on something a little different. No autographs. No photo line. Just real conversations and meaningful connection.

If you’d like updates about the meet & greet and my new book, Dirty Dancin’ with the Divine, you’ll find the sign-up link in my bio. You can sign up to get tickets to the upcoming Comic-Con at the link in my stories.

See you soon, UK!"

Message from Nia Peeples about a U.K. appearance:

Our Burbank meet and greet was such a wonderful experience—Getting to sit with you — not as “fans,” but as people — sharing honestly, listening deeply… it was something really special. 💛

It made me realize how much I want to keep creating spaces like that.

And now I get to take that energy across the pond 🇬🇧✨

I’ll be at Comic Con in Birmingham, England (July 11–13).

After the show on Sunday, I’d love to have another free, in person meet and greet.  No photos or autographs, just human connection:) I’m already in the process of organizing it!

To sign up for updates on the meet and greet and my new Book, Dirty Dancin’ with the Divine, there’s a link in my bio. Link

You can secure your tickets for Comic con through the link in my stories! 💫

Let’s keep dancing this dance together. ✨
