Get ready Atlanta as we bring an extra special night with the legendary GREEN VELVET playing an extended 4 hour set!
It’s all going down on Friday, Jan. 25, 2019 at District Atlanta, one of the city’s hottest clubs.
GREEN VELVET:
Change has been a constant theme throughout the successful career of Green Velvet, but as he has crossed genres, explored themes from the comedic to the serious and changed monikers, the common thread running through the music he has made for nearly two decades is its roots in and dedication to the Chicago House sound. The ongoing evolution in the music, career and life of the artist born Curtis Alan Jones in Chicago has been and will continue to be fascinating to watch and experience for his many followers.————————————————–

The event is happening Friday, Feb 8, 2019, 7:00 PM and Saturday, Feb 9, 2019, 8:00 PM at Sewell Mill Library & Cultural Center 2051 Lower Roswell Road Marietta, GA 30068.
Dr. Seuss characters coming to East Cobb
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos.
Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!

I’ve started and stopped my show so many times but one thing has always been consistent: my desire to support and empower women of color to live out their truth and my desire to share their stories. Man, I love a good story.
The World Is Ours is a talk show where I talk to millennial entrepreneurs, leaders and creatives about the spiritual and cultural concepts, beliefs and habits that inspire their creativity and inform the work they do in their business and life. We’re talking about personal growth, current events, entrepreneurship and more.
All in all, we’re talking about REAL STUFF. There’s enough of the super fluffy stuff. I want to talk about the real challenges, the real hero’s journey, the real REAL.
And during this screening, you’ll get to see a preview. You’ll get to tell me what you think and you’ll get to hear a road map of what’s to come.
Screening starts promptly at 6:45p on Thursday, January 17, 2019
*hors d’oeuvres will be served.
