Eboni Ferguson Celebrates Some Real Sugar Honey Ice Tea Book Launch, Film Screening at Community College of Philadelphia
Eboni Ferguson celebrates the Some Real Sugar Honey Ice Tea book launch and film clip screening at Community College of Philadelphia on October 28, 2026.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 12, 2026 — Philadelphia author, poet, filmmaker, and producer Eboni Ferguson will celebrate the continued journey of Some Real Sugar Honey Ice Tea during a special Book Launch Party and Film Clip Screening at Community College of Philadelphia on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Bonnell Auditorium.
The event will bring together literature, film, creativity, and Philadelphia storytelling as Ferguson introduces audiences to the book adaptation of Some Real Sugar Honey Ice Tea while also sharing selected footage from the feature film.
Originally developed as a screenplay and later produced as an independently financed feature film, Some Real Sugar Honey Ice Tea has since expanded into a book, creating another way for audiences to experience its characters, relationships, and story.
The feature film is currently available on Prime Video, allowing the independently produced Philadelphia project to reach audiences beyond its original screenings.
The October 28 event will feature an excerpt from Chapter 2, "Dom," giving attendees an opportunity to experience the written version of the story while also seeing how elements of the project transitioned from page to screen.
For Ferguson, the event represents more than the release of a book. It reflects the evolution of a creative project that has moved through multiple forms of storytelling while maintaining its connection to Philadelphia.
"This story has continued to grow in ways I did not originally imagine. What started as a screenplay became a film, and now audiences can experience these characters through the book as well. Being able to celebrate that journey in Philadelphia, especially at Community College of Philadelphia, makes this moment even more meaningful," said Ferguson.
Some Real Sugar Honey Ice Tea explores family, relationships, grief, ambition, personal identity, complicated choices, and the experience of returning home while trying to determine what comes next.
The project also represents the realities and possibilities of independent filmmaking. Produced outside of the traditional studio system, the film required significant independent investment, creative collaboration, and years of work to move from concept through production and distribution.
The Community College of Philadelphia event will also provide an opportunity to celebrate Philadelphia writers, filmmakers, artists, and the importance of creating opportunities for local stories to reach broader audiences.
The event is open to the public.
