Late in sharing this, but the @ajc /@itsuatl has a new podcast, It's UATL. Each week, @NajjaNotes, @BLeighHoward , @nrhoneajc + I talk about the latest in Black culture in Atlanta and beyond. Our first episode, feat. Mara Brock Akil, dropped last week.

I'm almost a month late in sharing this lol, but it always feels good to be seen. Our @ajc doc "The South Got Something to Say," which I co-produced, is nominated for an Emmy!!

André 3000 selling out shows and then doing the same show for free a few months later is the most André 3000 thing ever, and I'm here for it.

Spoke to @KillerMike this morning and he explained that his biggest moment from the past 24 hours had nothing to do with sweeping the rap category (or that other incident) at the #GRAMMYs last night.

🥹🤎 this was one of the coolest things ever thank you so much @GayleKing and @CBSMornings ✨ tune in
TUNE IN: @VictoriaMonet is up for seven #Grammys, including for her song, “Hollywood,” which features her 2-year-old daughter and @EarthWindFire — who surprised her with a special message.
Watch her interview with @GayleKing tomorrow on CBS Mornings.

Made two stops, ate over 20 wings and sat down with Mr. and Mrs. Jeter to talk about the impending closure of LT’s Wings and Atlanta losing its Black cultural staples.

Earlier this year, as I was leaving my FT job to return to freelancing, I said I wanted to do three things:
1. Write more profiles
2. Write a column
3. Write a cover story
And they’ve all happened so far. Stay tuned for my first cover story dropping early next year! 🙌🏾
