An Inspiring Night at the “Colors of Atlanta” Premiere
Thank you, Atlanta Film Festival and City of Atlanta, for a free pass to attend as Media to this event. If there’s one thing I love, it’s seeing Atlanta through the eyes of talented artists — and the premiere of Colors of Atlanta absolutely delivered! ✨ Hosted by the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau (ACVB) and Tantra Worldwide, this brand-new travel and lifestyle series made its big debut at the Plaza Theatre during the Atlanta Film Festival, and I was lucky enough to be there to experience it firsthand. The evening started with a lively welcome reception at 6:30 p.m. — the perfect chance to mingle, grab a bite, and…

From Game Day Scraps to Runway Chic: An Earth Day Celebration Like No Other
Thank you, Atlanta Film Festival, for allowing me to take part in 2025 Atlanta Film Festival festivities. Just over a week ago, on Friday, April 25th, I stepped into The Supermarket for an Earth Day event that genuinely redefined sustainable style for me. Forget typical eco-fairs; this was a dynamic fusion of upcycled fashion, cutting-edge design, and immersive film, all wrapped up in an atmosphere buzzing with conscious creativity. The evening promised a blend of fashion and a unique cinematic experience, and it delivered. We saw incredible work from visionary designers who are clearly challenging the status quo, proving that discarded materials can be the foundation for stunning aesthetics. It…

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: Celebration of Dance Culture
I attended this event as a member of the press. #snipesusa #atlevents This past Friday, hubby and I attended one of the coolest events. Seeing as though we enjoy dancing, we had to be in the place. Unfortunately, we did not measure up to the talent that were competing but we were knee deep in the action as if we were 🙂 This grand finale event took place in Atlanta after being in other cities like, Detroit and Washington DC. 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…

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…

Keke Palmer’s Big Boss Rocks
I was provided a press pass in exchange for sharing about the Atlanta Film Festival. #atlff You talk about excited!! I was so excited to be able to be there to see Keke on the red carpet with her family to celebrate her directorial debut. And what an incredible job she did. When I tell you Keke Palmer’s Big Boss Rocks, it does!! She is a wonderful actress, but wow, did I miss the fact that she can sing. She has an amazing voice. The music business seems like it would be incredible if you have the right backing, but if you don’t, watch out. About Big Boss “Big Boss”…
