While Georgia won’t be in view of a total eclipse, the state will be able to observe a partial eclipse. The best viewing time will be from 1:45 p.m. to 3:05 p.m (peak). During that time, the moon will pass in front of the sun, blocking about 82% of the sunlight as viewed from Atlanta.
Here are some safety precautions you need to take:
- Don’t look at the sun with your naked eye.
- Wear sunglasses with protective lenses.
- Don’t stare at the sun just anywhere. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Now let’s get into some fun things to do:

Be among the first to receive solar eclipse glasses, enjoy music from a DJ, and savor eclipse-themed drinks at select restaurants. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the wonders of the universe with us—the next solar eclipse won’t occur until August 2044!

Born in Atlanta, tennis sensation Coca Gauff’s ascension in tennis has come from her authenticity and unapologetic acceptance of herself. Nowhere is that more evident than her recent alignment with Carol’s Daughter, a leading hair care company for black women.
The multi-year partnership signals Coco’s first foray with a beauty brand.
“I’m delighted to announce my partnership with Carol’s Daughter,” said Coco. “Their knowledge of natural hair care is unmatched, and I couldn’t be prouder to align with a brand that shares my values. I’m excited to help continue their mission of empowering millions of women and little girls to embrace their curls and coils with pride and authenticity.”
Coco Gauff, a rising star in the world of tennis, has captivated audiences worldwide with her remarkable talent and unwavering commitment to authenticity. At just 20 years old, Coco has already made a significant impact on the sport, notably winning the US Open in 2023.
While competing at the highest level, Coco can be seen sporting protective styles or letting her curls and coils flow freely, Coco is a mirror of a generation that was never afraid to embrace and celebrate their hair texture. Her experimentation with hairstyles reflects her confidence and willingness to challenge traditional beauty standards, inspiring others to do the same. Her poise, strength and unique style have set her apart, making her a role model for aspiring athletes everywhere.
“The power of seeing someone like Coco in the world of tennis, for me, is a testament to the work that has been done before her,” stated Lisa Price, founder of Carol’s Daughter. “While the representation of individuals who resemble us in this sport may be limited, their impact remains pivotal. It breathes life into the timeless adage: ‘If you can see it, you can be it.’ This is what makes this collaboration so special to me. When I started Carol’s Daughter, there was no blueprint for Black hair care brands, but now, 30 years later, the door is open, offering countless options for our hair, our confidence, and our empowerment. In Coco, we celebrate the strength, beauty, and authenticity of all the generations to come.”
Final Word
The Atlanta hair industry is one of the largest in the Southeast, with more than 8 million people getting groomed each month.
But you can do it yourself. All you need are some quality shears and some high-performance clippers to get the job done. Check out our Beauty Page for other ways to get shaped up.

Fresh off his RIAA platinum-certified smash hit “Lose Control,” music artist and Georgia native Teddy Swims has signed a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music.
Swims, who released his debut studio album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) via WCM’s sister label, Warner Records, last September, has become a mainstay on the Billboard charts.
On signing with WCM, Teddy Swims shared: “Thrilled to be teaming up with Warner Chappell as my publisher. Songwriting has always been the core of who I am as an artist and it will continue to be. It’s my therapy and having a team behind me that gets that means the world to me. So excited to keep it in house with Warner Music Group and in the family with the best company on the planet! Let’s take over the world gang.”
Teddy Swims (born Jaten Dimsdale) has released music and toured the world since making his debut in 2019. With a unique sound that blends R&B, soul, country, and pop, he got his start performing with a variety of Atlanta-based bands. He went on to gain a following through his cover performances on YouTube after posting a rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You.” He signed a record deal with Warner Records in 2019 and began to release his own original music, including a series of EPs from 2021 – 2022. His third EP, Tough Love, marked his first entrance on the Billboard 200 as an artist and included his hit songs “Love for a Minute” and “911.”
The 31-year-old Georgia native rose to mainstream fame in 2023 as his breakout single “Lose Control” – from I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) – topped the charts and hit number one in the U.S. and the top 10 in multiple countries around the world. Other standout singles from the album – which tells the story of Swims’ own journey of self-discovery – include “Some Things I’ll Never Know” and “The Door.” He has also collaborated with many artists, including Thomas Rhett, Meghan Trainor, Maren Morris, X Ambassadors, and Tiësto. Last year, he sold over 150,000 headline tickets on his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour around the world.
Swims is currently gearing up to go on a sold out global tour including legs in North America, Europe, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. He continues to grow his profile this year and will be performing at esteemed festivals including Osheaga Music Festival (Montreal, Canada), Lollapalooza (Chicago), and Fuji Rock Festival (Niigata, Japan).
