    To date, The Confess Project of America has trained over 2,000 barbers across the country to be Mental Health Advocates using a therapeutic-based framework that educates barbers on 4 key points that reduce negative thoughts and stigma around discussing mental health topics. 

    With the launch of the Beauty Coalition, The Confess Project of America will now be reaching even more people and can begin to impact those in beauty salons and beyond, equipping them with crucial tools for their mental health. 

    What Should I Expect From the Beauty Coalition?

  • Edgewood Dynasty opens in Old Fourth Ward

    Edgewood Dynasty Opening This Weekend In Atlanta

    3 Min Read

    Edgewood Dynasty is opening to the public on Sunday, January 22, 2023, AtlantaFi.com has learned. The establishment is located in the space formerly occupied by Sound Table in Old Fourth Ward.

    Greg Johnson and Noelle Taylor are the husband-and-wife team behind Edgewood Dynasty, which the couple hopes to turn into a destination spot for food and drinks.

    Former Sound Table Reopens As Edgewood Dynasty

    Sound Table, which was owned and operated by Karl Injex and Muona Essa, was a popular destination for late-night music vibes in Midtown and Old Fourth Ward. The COVID-19 pandemic spelled the end for the establishment, which lasted about 10 years.

    For Johnson and Taylor, the opening of Edgewood Dynasty is the culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication after years of stress and litigation.

    The couple had planned to open Edgewood Dynasty, along with its pop-up bar Cake Social Bar, just months into the pandemic but in 2020, the building was ensnared in a legal fight after a wall collapsed.

    After a soft opening a few days ago, Edgewood Dynasty is now ready for big crowds and more.

    Where Is Edgewood Dynasty Located?

    Edgewood Dynasty is located at 483 Edgewood Ave., SE Atlanta, Ga. 30312. Here’s a map to help you find it.

    In October 2020, The Sound Table informed its followers on social media that it was closing down.

    “For the past few years, we’ve been considering making some big changes as we reached our 10th anniversary (which fell on the 30th of April this year). Fortunately, we found the ideal couple in our buyers, Greg and Noelle, who were ready to take on the challenge of carrying forward the legacy of 483 Edgewood Ave, under a new identity but with a faithful reverence to the ethos of ST. Watch this space for more details on their forthcoming evolution,” the business said on Facebook.

    Final Word

    Edgewood Dynasty is a welcome addition to Old Fourth Ward, which continues to be an eventful place thanks to the new businesses, shops and Atlanta Beltline restaurants that continually open.

    The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s  food and drink scene, which has seen a bar explosion in recent years.

    Get Served By A Robot At This Metro Atlanta Restaurant

    3 Min Read

    Like many sectors of American life, technology has transformed the restaurant industry in recent years. In a first for the Atlanta-area, a robot is helping to serve guests in a restaurant showroom.

    Arirang K, which specializes in Korean and Japanese cuisine, has a futuristic take on providing service to its customers: robots.

    At Your Service At Arirang K: Robots

    During peak hours at the barbeque restaurant, you might find a few robots helping out the waitstaff. Since June 2022, four “LG CLOi ServeBot” robotic assistants from LG Business Solutions have been assisting wait staff by accompanying them to guests’ tables while carrying multiple dishes at once, according to a company news release.

    “We’ve been serving gourmet Korean barbecue and sushi for just over three years now, and we are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience and provide better service without increasing costs,” said Miok Kim, general manager of Arirang K.

    Using LG robots just makes sense for the restaurant, Kim said.

    “LG is one of South Korea’s most respected technology companies, so we were excited about the chance to try out their brand-new robot. Its cutting-edge sensors and programming accurately deliver food to customers and assist wait staff by reducing kitchen runs. Everybody liked the first two so much that we upgraded to four LG ServeBots to maximize service levels and guarantee that every customer gets to see the robots in action. The customer experience is also very important to us, and having the ServeBots move around the restaurant is a new and exciting experience for virtually all our customers,” Kim said.

    Reaction to the droids has been nothing but positive, judging from the customers’ reactions.

    About The LG CLOi Servebots

    The LG CLOi ServeBot used at Arirang K (Model LDLIM21) can operate for up to 11 hours before needing to recharge. They come equipped with three shelves that can each hold up to 22 pounds each.

    The SereBots also automatically follow commands, including requests to travel to specific tables or back to the kitchen, so kitchen and wait staff can load and unload food from its shelves.

    “The main dishes that come out are mostly hot and can be dangerous, so the LG ServeBots are able to help us by bringing those dishes out, and all we have to do is hand it off at the table,” server Taylor Robinson said. “They take a lot off my shoulders, literally off my hands. I’m able to meet the customer at the table and hand the food off without any problems. Not to mention that customers just like seeing the robots in general, especially kids, who get really excited about them.”

    Where Is Arirang K Located?

    Arirang K is located at 7775 McGinnis Ferry Rd, Johns Creek, GA 30024. Here is a map to help you find it.

     

    Airang K prides itself on serving traditional Korean & Japanese cuisines with only the freshest, most natural ingredients. In addition to Johns Creek, the restaurant also serves the Suwanee area.

    Final Word

    Metro Atlanta has other cool eateries as well. If you’re gluten-free, there’s plenty of options. Same goes for keto-friendly restaurants or Asian fare in Atlanta.

  • Tyler Perry makes Fort McPherson plans

    Tyler Perry Buys 37 More Acres At Fort McPherson Site, Plans Retail

    4 Min Read

    Atlanta movie mogul Tyler Perry continues to expand his local empire in Georgia. This time, the Why Did I Get Married? star has bought more land parcels adjacent to his movie studio in southwest Atlanta.

    The acreage, a short drive from East Point and College Park, Georgia, has a lot in store for the public.

    What Is Tyler Perry Planning For Southwest Atlanta?

    Perry’s recent $8.4 million purchase of 37 additional acres next to his namesake studios come with some bodacious plans, according to news reports.

    Perry plans to use the land parcels to transform the area into an entertainment, retail, and restaurant district that would include shops, a movie theater and more.

    The businesses would be a welcome addition to rejuvenate what has been a long-forgotten area when it comes to amenities and basic food stores.

    How Did Perry Get The Fort McPherson Property?

    In 2014, Perry was wrestling with the idea of building a new movie studio and moving it to Douglas County, but then Mayor Kasim Reed was adamant that he stay in the city.

    The two worked out a deal in which Perry would buy 330 acres at Fort McPherson for $30 million, which was characterized as a super-bargain at the time.

    After securing two-third of the old Army base and redeveloping it, Perry threw a lavish grand opening for Tyler Perry Studios in October 2019, introducing movie stars and the public to the studio’s 12 sound stages.

    Also tucked away in the deal was an option to buy the 37 additional acres at the base, which Perry was given a “right of first refusal.”

    In June 2021, megachurch leader Bishop T.D. Jakes’ T.D. Jakes Real Estate Ventures struck a deal to purchase 94 acres at Fort Mac as well. Separately, Perry also was approved to buy the additional 37 acres on the site.

    ‘I’m looking forward to collaborating with my friend T.D. Jakes on his separate but adjacent project,’ Perry said in a news release at the time. “Today is a good day. I’m grateful for the opportunity this gives Tyler Perry Studios to extend our footprint in Atlanta and create more opportunities for the people of Southwest Atlanta with restaurants, entertainment venues, and other business opportunities.”

    What Will Be Built At Fort McPherson?

    According to a masterplan proposed by the T.D. Jakes Real Estate Ventures group, the Fort Mac site will include the following sections:

    • Historic cultural district
    • Historic business district
    • Tyler Perry Studios entertainment district
    • Entertainment district extension
    • Residential village and more
    Fort McPherson masterplan
    Courtesy of T.D. Jakes Real Estate Ventures, LLC”

    Jakes was enthusiastic about the deal as well, saying, “My cultural fluency results from having grown up in a community like the Atlanta communities surrounding Fort McPherson. In my travels across all of America, I see too many Black and Brown working-class people still falling victim to the continued gentrification of our neighborhoods. I’m extremely excited about the accessible ownership options that will exist for future residents of this multigenerational community. This project will bring solutions to the quality-of-life problems and elevate the lives of the Atlantans that will live, work and play there.”

    Final Word

    Perry, who joined his friend Oprah Winfrey in achieving billionaire status in recent years, continues to build upon his movie and TV success with lucrative deals with Amazon Studios and Netflix.

    He’s also in the middle of completing his mansion in the Atlanta suburbs. The property, which is located in Douglas County, Georgia encompasses more than 800 acres, making it one of the largest pieces of in-tact land available in all of metro Atlanta.

Now they must retrace their steps to find missing birthday girl Anna Maria (Herrera) … and explain why there’s a flock of baby ducks in the bathtub, what happened to Megan’s left eyebrow, and why she’s wearing unattainable hottie Jake Ramirez’s (Rodriguez) signature black hoodie.”

     The Slumber Party Casting Call Details

    Hylton Casting was casting for The Slumber Party in the fall of 2022.

  • What Are The New Symptoms Of COVID-19?

    Do I Have COVID-19, Flu Virus Or RSV? How To Tell

    5 Min Read

    Cases of coronavirus are rising across America, including in Atlanta, Georgia, home of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. But that’s not the only respiratory illness going around right now. Influenza and RSV are also making people sick.

    Do you have COVID, the flu or RSV? This article will tell you how to know and what to do about it.

    Do I Have COVID?

    The best way to tell if you have COVID is by taking a test.

    Most at-home COVID tests are of the antigen variety, according to the FDA. Although the at-home tests are not flawless, they are expedient and convenient for millions of Americans who want to know if they have been exposed to the virus.

    Currently, U.S. households can receive a set of four free at-home tests sent by the Postal Service. Here’s what to know about the tests:

    • Limit of one order per address
    • Includes 4 individual rapid antigen COVID-19 tests.
    • Shipping started the week of December 19, 2022
    • Order at covidtests.gov.

    FDA-authorized over-the-counter (OTC) at-home COVID-19 tests for self-testing at home or other locations are a fast and convenient COVID-19 testing option.

    Do I Have The Flu?

    The flu virus is cycling through the United States right now, which is typical during the colder months.

    How can you tell if you may have the flu? You might have influenza if you exhibit any number of the following symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and/or fatigue. Some people may experience vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children.

    Do I Have RSV?

    On the other hand, you may have the newest ailment that has emerged over the past several months. RS.

    Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is a respiratory virus that presents like a cold. The symptoms are typically mild and cold-like and people usually feel better in about a week’s time.

    What If I Was Exposed To COVID But Don’t Have Symptoms?

    The CDC says that if you happened to have been exposed to someone who has COVID and you do not have symptoms, you should wait at least five full days after your exposure before testing. If you test too early, you may have an inaccurate result.

    What Are The Symptoms of COVID-19?

    • Cough
    • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
    • Fever
    • Chills
    • Repeated shaking with chills
    • Muscle Pain
    • Headache
    • Sore Throat
    • Loss of Taste or Smell
    • Congestion or runny nose
    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Diarrhea

    Those last three symptoms — congestion / runny nose, nausea / vomiting and diarrhea — were added by the CDC in May 2020.

    Now some scientists are warning about “Long COVID,” which has been associated with patients infected with coronavirus across much of Europe.

    What Is Long COVID?

    Long Covid is a term associated with months-long symptoms seen in patients who have contracted COVID-18. The National Institute for Health Research documented more than 60,000 people who have experienced symptoms including:

    • Shortness of breath
    • ,Chronic fatigue
    • “Brain fog”
    • Permanent organ damage
    • Anxiety
    • Stress

    Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says that an incredible 20% to 40% of people don’t have any symptoms whatsoever despite their being infected.

    Of course, you should always seek medical attention if these any of these symptoms become an emergency situation, including:

    • Trouble breathing
    • Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
    • New confusion or inability to arouse
    • Bluish lips or face

    There is also reports that young people have had strokes due to COVID-19, but there is much to be learned.

    Many people have been sharing their experience with COVID-19 on Twitter. Here is one such experience.

    How Do I Test For Coronavirus?

    You may be wondering how you can test for coronavirus, if you think you have symptoms.

    There are several sites around metro Atlanta where you can get tested for COVID.

    How To Treat COVID At Home

    If your symptoms aren’t too serious, you may be able to treat COVID at home. Here’s the experience of one person who recovered from COVID by treating it without going to the hospital.

    The important thing to know is that it’s best to lay on your stomach so that your lungs don’t fill up with fluid, which could lead to problems.

    Of course, please know that each person may experience different symptoms and reactions. If you have any questions, consult your doctor.

    As always, call 911 if you have a medical emergency: Notify the operator that you have, or think you might have, COVID-19. If possible, put on a cloth face covering before medical help arrives.

    Final Thought

    See the CDC website for official public health guidance on COVID-19 and other illnesses.

    Where To Get The COVID Vaccine In Atlanta, Georgia

    Georgia health officials have been working hard to get more doses delivered to the state. Metro Atlanta now has several places that are doing inoculations for Georgia residents.
     
    If you’re looking for the COVID-19 vaccine in Atlanta, here are the vaccination sites.
