My friend @deasia_paige is a GLAAD award-winning reporter and it’s stories like this that show you why. So honored to have her pen on this Black Mecca series. uatl.com/news/2025/10/t…


I fell in love with journalism reading the sports section of the @ajc with my late father. Any time I get to pick up the pen and write a sports story is a blessing. Just wish Pop was here to read this one. uatl.com/entertainment/…


Y'all know I pretty much just resurface on here to talk about the Black mecca series. Our latest piece comes from one my favorite reporters, @mjdonastorg. The story also has one of my favorite photos of the entire series. You'll know it when you see it. uatl.com/news/2025/09/a…


🚨🚨🚨

📚 The @AJC is partnering with the Georgia Public Library Service to provide free digital access to AJC.com for the more than 4.9 million active public library cardholders across 60 Georgia public library systems. Read more ⬇️ ajc.com/about-us/2025/…



Recruited @erniesuggs and AJC education editor Eric Stirgus for the next piece in the Black mecca series. Read. Share. Repeat. uatl.com/news/2025/08/h…


Is Atlanta still the place for up-and-coming Black musicians to realize their dreams? If you're looking to start your week with a great read, let it be this one from @NajjaNotes from our ongoing Black mecca series. uatl.com/entertainment/…


My own search for a therapist led me to the latest story in the Black mecca series. Thankful that Atlanta natives Savannah Elahee and Archie Clay III were willing to share their stories with me. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth uatl.com/news/2025/05/i…


Wishing a happy, well-deserved retirement to my guy, @RamCNN. A legend in the newsroom and on the rec league football pitch. One of one.


This man changed my life. "Take your work seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously." ajc.com/news/atlanta-n…

Suggs! Big up to the man behind the @ajc's Black History Month series for offering his knowledge, guidance and support on Black mecca 🙏🏾

The day before I turned 40, I broke my foot (first break of my life). A month before I turn 41, I strained my neck watching Star Wars on the couch. When it comes to aging, I see the universe got jokes.
