A Night of Redemption: Sing Sing’s Red Carpet Premiere and the Power of Art
Last night, I had the privilege of attending the red carpet closing night presentation of Sing Sing, a film that left a lasting impression. The energy was electric, buzzing with the anticipation of a film that promised a powerful story. Sing Sing tells the tale of Divine G (played by the phenomenal Colman Domingo), a man wrongly imprisoned at Sing Sing who discovers purpose and hope through an unlikely outlet: theatre. Alongside fellow inmates, Divine G finds solace and a chance at redemption within the confines of a prison drama group. The film’s focus on resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art resonated deeply. It’s a testament to the…

Red Bull Culture Clash Atlanta
We were provided tickets to attend the event in exchange for coverage. #ad #redbullcultureclash #redbullmusic #cultureclash #atlevents Red Bull certainly knows how to put on a show!! Their Red Bull Music division brought us Culture Clash last Saturday and it was so much fun, disappointments, upsets, crowds galore, drinks featuring #redbull, good food and talented djs and their crews. Going in, I did not have a favorite and leaving I can say the same. All 4 of the stages were filled with major energy, no negativity (okay just a little 😊). I mean some people were cheated in my opinion, but it happens. Others felt the same and did not…

SNIPES, the leader in streetwear and retail, put this series together which started in September, and it brought dance enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds in a celebration of freestyle dance and…

The South Got Something To Say
I received the link to preview the movie in advance for free in exchange for the review. Thank you AJC and AJC Films for the opportunity. #tsgsts #hiphop50 #ajchiphop #hiphopatl #AJCHipHopFilm #hiphop #music #atlanta #atl Who would have thought that rap would take it this far? Fifty years later, and it is still going. I was born a couple of years before the first hip hop party, in 1973 was held by DJ Cool Herc. Hip Hip spread throughout darn near every aspect of my life and I am sure it did yours too. Now let’s narrow this puppy down some more…in 1995, it was the year of that one line from Outkast member, Andre 3000, that…

Highball Festival Atlanta
We received tickets to the event in exchange for coverage. #ad #spon #highballATL #FlockUp #BirdFam4Ever #CheersYall #FullSpeedAhead What an incredible experience and time had at the Highball Festival that was held at the historic Pullman Yards in Atlanta. This two-day event, curated by Futurebirds, featured bands that they handpicked, and can I say that they did a hellava job at it too. Headliners were Band of Horses one night and The Head and the Heart the other night. The crowd was pumped and amped both days. Hubby and I love music, and we had a ball and certainly found some new bands to follow and listen to. Talk about talented…
