    Super Bowl LIII has drawn sports stars, celebrities and more to Atlanta for all types of events. One of the top happenings was the Power Sports Brunch, which took place Wednesday, Jan. 29 in Buckhead.

    The Power Sports Brunch brought some major players to Davio’s Italian Steakhouse for a festive time. The event was presented by LPS Consulting PR & WISE Atlanta.

    Power Sports Brunch: Celebrities, athletes talk empowerment in Atlanta

    The brunch was a chance for powerful women to celebrate themselves but also remind each other that more progress is needed.

    Amy Trask, former CEO of the Oakland Raiders, said that some businesses simply shouldn’t be around if they don’t provide an equal playing field.

    “If a business does not hire without regard to race, gender, ethnicity, religion or any other individual characteristic, which has nothing to do whatsoever with whether a person can accomplish or succeed or achieve in business, well then that business deserves to fail.”

    Those individualities I listed have no impact whatsoever on whether one can do a good job,” Trask said.

    Veteran ESPN reporter Lisa Salters told AtlantaFi.com that representation makes a difference.

    “In any aspect of life, it’s important to have diversity of voices. The more voices you have, the more inclusive you are, the better any product is going to be. Women watch sports, women participate in sports, women should be covering sports.”

    The restaurant’s name comes from the fellowshipping he and his family grew doing on Sunday afternoons accompanied by friends and his relatives.

    “This is a dream come true for me, my brother CJ, my dad Cecil and others in my extended family,” said Newton. “To be able to come back to Atlanta to such a thriving business environment and start a business is just one way that I want to start giving back to my hometown that gave me my start and has been so good to me and my family. I’d like to thank the City of Atlanta, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and others for helping this dream become a reality.”

    Fellaship will feature an all-day menu consisting of such dishes as Seared Scottish Salmon, Blackened Swordfish Penne Pasta, Butter-Roasted Lobster Imperial and more.

    Newton, who led the Auburn Tigers to a college football national championship, tapped into his school ties to have Fellaship built.

    Atlanta’s own Big Boi, one half of the legendary rap group Outkast, has been confirmed as the third big-name artist that will perform at the 2019 Atlanta Super Bowl.

    Chloe and Halle has also been confirmed, joining Travis Scott joined the slim lineup, along with Maroon 5, as halftime performers for Sunday, Feb. 3 event. Soulstress Gladys Knight has been tapped to sing the national anthem.

    Big Boi, Travis Scott, Maroon 5 to perform at Atlanta Super Bowl Halftime

    The addition of Big Boi brings some much-needed ATL cred to the high-profile Super Bowl lineup, which has been somewhat controversial since it was announced.

    Travis Scott received torrents of criticism online after the news was announced in late November. Actor Michael B. Jordan, who has been in Atlanta for much of the year filming, said that Travis Scott’s appearance at the Super Bowl would send a mixed message.

    “We’re still trying to stand behind something,” Jordan told TMZ. He was referring to the NFL’s treatment of Colin Kaepernick.

    Chloe & Halle join Super Bowl halftime show

    Los Angeles-based Maroon 5, which is led by singer Adam Levine, keyboardist and rhythm guitarist Jesse Carmichael, bassist Mickey Madden, lead guitarist James Valentine, drummer Matt Flynn, keyboardist PJ Morton, have all but signed the dotted line, the tabloid reports.

    The Atlanta Super Bowl is set for February 3, 2019 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

    To send a strong statement to the NFL, some artists have turned down the Atlanta Super Bowl, notably Cardi B, 2018’s hottest rapper.

    Also, political commentator Al Sharpton blasted Travis Scott for his decision to perform. “You can’t fight Jim Crow and then sit in the back of the bus,” he said.

    Maroon 5 will join such accomplished acts as Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, U2, The Who, Katy Perry and more as those who have rocked the crowd for the largest sports event in the world.

    Maroon 5 was formed in 1994, going by the moniker Kara’s Flowers, but after years of starts and stops, the band rebranded as Maroon 5 in 2001. Mainstream success came soon after.

    Some of the band’s hits include “Harder to Breathe,” “Makes Me Wonder” and “Moves Like Jagger.”

    Atlanta is gearing up for several weeks of activities, culminating in the Super Bowl, where nearly 1 million people will converge on the city.

    Couples Communication Workshop (Unmarried) In Atlanta

    1 Min Read

    Good news: Happy, successful relationships aren’t due to luck, coming from a “good” family, or finding “The One.” All couples fight and have problems communicating at times. Thankfully, effective skills can be learned and practiced; and certain skills are far more effective than others AND backed up by science.

    The Couples Communication Workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2019 at 1100 Peachtree St NE, 1100 Peachtree Street Northeast Atlanta, GA 30309.

    Atlanta: Couples Communication Workshop

    In this workshop, you will learn how to identify common communication pitfalls, defuse heated arguments, change unhelpful patterns, and apply practical research-based strategies to prevent future conflicts from escalating.

    It is important to note that this is a psychoeducational workshop, not couples therapy. It is best for couples who are committed to strengthening their relationship and are not in severe distress.

    If you are in a high-conflict relationship or concerned about privacy, a traditional couples therapy consultation with me or another professional is a better choice.

    This is for unmarried couples only; all sexual orientations are welcome. You will not be required nor pressured to share any personal details about your relationship.
