Rep Hank Johnson, DeKalb County Board of Health, and First Class Barber Shop: Shots at the Shop
While there are signs of improvement, we are still in a pandemic. Per the beginning of June (2021), nearly 600,000 people have died due to Covid-19. Even though slightly more than 70% of Americans aged 45 and older are vaccinated (along with sizeable decreases in the number of cases), there is still a need for people to get as protected as possible against the virus, as well as possible emerging strands (click HERE for the report from the White House). As a result, there is
A series of special Saturdays with the Georgia Spartans
During the United Men's Basketball League (semi-professional season), from March through May, most Saturdays with the Georgia Spartans are special. The team finished in 2nd place overall as their championship run falls a few points short. However, the impact they make off the court creates winning situations for all. On Saturday, June 12th, the team is a key sponsor for the DeKalb Fitness Challenge in partnership with Commissioner Larry Johnson (at 2771 Columbia Drive in Dec
This is for You: the powerful music of Moyani
Projects. When you hear the word, what comes to mind? For some, it can be cumbersome. For others, it's a way to challenge and expand your creative tendencies. When creative minds including Anthony Page (who is the director of the video), James Newsome (the COO of Sayvya Records), and Mobley (of Mobley Marketing) come together, it's more than just the "standard" arts and entertainment project or endeavor. Incorporating the talented work of Neo-Inspirational Singer Moyani and
An evening in Asheville: the IronBirds escape with a 3-2 win over the Tourists in minor league play
On Friday, June 18th, just as the fans of the game of baseball are able to return to full capacity (in North Carolina), we're able to make a visit to enjoy the grand old game. Our time in Asheville, NC brings us to McCormick Field. The "old school" ballpark takes us to the home of The Asheville Tourists (now the High A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Houston Astros) as they host the Aberdeen IronBirds (the High H affiliate of Major League's Baseball Baltimore Orioles).
Recapping the inaugural basketball challenge and concert - setting the tone for the future
On Saturday, June 12th, the inaugural celebrity fundraiser basketball challenge and concert is launched (click HERE to refer to the preview article). Thanks to the meeting of the minds by Lady Coco and Stefanie Batiste, those in attendance at Hoops Nation ATL have an enjoyable time all to support area charities. The game features the Atlanta Legends (a member of the semi-professional United Men's Basketball League) against another semi-pro team, the Atlanta Ballers, who play
From a simple sandwich to making a strong statement: the advocacy of PB&Justice
Back in the day, peanut butter and jelly is one of my favorite sandwiches. Granted, I may not have always packed it properly (and I'd have jelly all over the place), but it did what it's supposed to do in providing a simple yet strong meal for a youngster. To this day, one of the more popular and packable sandwiches around still does this. However, when it comes to community engagement, this simple sandwich makes a strong statement, especially through the lens of the work o
Talking, then doing: the inaugural celebrity basketball game & concert (June 12th)
Many have heard the phrase "talk is cheap". However, a simple talk between the Atlanta-based personality Stefanie Batiste and her Houston based colleague, Lady Coco, their love for basketball grows into something more. While "trash-talking" is part of the game, their friendly debate as to which one has the better skills on the court turns into a treasure. Their combined efforts result in the creation of their inaugural celebrity fundraiser basketball game and concert. Takin
Juneteenth and beyond: this is Wynn Legacy
On June 18-20, 2021, the Wynn Legacy is hosting their 2nd annual Juneteenth Celebration. It's more than celebrating the day. It's a reminder of how engrained the event venue is in the East Point, GA community and beyond. With three venues (including a museum, event hall, and additional space including an outdoor garden and more), it's more than just the events. Under the visionary leadership of Ms. Andrea Harris Wynn, it's a true community "hub". Ranging from the previousl
Author Andrew Snorton's May: and yes, there's more on the horizon
Today marks the start of a new month. It provides a momentary "hard to believe" moment as our now-normal is gradually showing signs of stabilizing. Looking back at May, it's a quietly active time for the author. With a growing slate of interview and gearing up for events this summer, there's some good things on the horizon, as well as some things to look back on not too long ago: Interview/feature with the Seattle Urban Book Expo. Any time an author gets recognition from a
