• ’20 Beautiful Women’ 4th Annual Soul Summit In Atlanta

    4 Min Read

    “20 Beautiful Women™” started as a best-selling book series and has now become a movement of authors, speakers, writers and life coaches bonding together for the common goal of advancing sisterhood, and helping women (and men) to transform from the inside out.

    Saba Tekle collected these beautiful women (and men) that have the common denominator of overcoming devastating circumstances, loss, or disappointments. But the one thing that connects them all is finding the strength to heal, find their purpose through their pain and now passionately help others in the areas self-love, weight loss, career, spirituality, relationships, finances, and forgiveness.

    The award winning book inspired the #20beautifulwomen challenge (over a million women participated in) and the women have been featured in The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, HLN’s The Daily Share, TEDx as well as many other media outlets. For more information go to: www.20beautifulwomen.com

    Hapeville-based Porsche unveiled on Wednesday, June 13 the official poster of Rennsport Reunion VI, the world’s largest gathering of vintage and contemporary Porsche race cars. The September 27-30 event will take place at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca near Monterey, California.

    Porsche Pays Homage To Past With New RennSport Poster

    This year’s event pays homage to the pantheon of Porsche motorsport champions, and the poster depicts three of the most significant players: the 1960 12 Hours of Sebring-winning Type 718 RS 60, the first overall endurance race winner from Porsche; the 2008 RS Spyder which famously punched above its weight by winning races overall in the American Le Mans Series in the Le Mans Prototype (LMP2) class; and the 959 Group B rally car, which after winning the grueling 6,200 mile ParisDakar off-road rally in 1986 went on to become the world’s fastest production street-legal road car.

    Actor and former Stone Mountain resident Donald Glover is dishing on season 3 of his hit TV show “Atlanta,” saying that the FX show will take a lesson from how Kanye West has developed his early productions.
    “I align the seasons I think, to me, like Kanye records,” Glover said at an Emmys FYC screening and panel for the show on Friday night in Los Angeles. “I feel like this is our ‘Graduation.’ This is probably our most accessible but also the realest — an honest version of it — and I feel like the most enjoyable, like the third album.”

    Atlanta FX renewed for season 3

    The show was recently given a third season by FX executives, who praised it for its honest and comedic portrayal of life for young black men.
    Atlanta is phenomenal, achieving and exceeding what few television series have done,” FX programming head NickGrad was quoted as saying. “With Atlanta Robbin’ Season, Donald and his collaborators elevated the series to even greater heights, building on the enormous success of their award-winning first season. We’re grateful to the producers and our extraordinary cast and crew for achieving this level of excellence, and we share the excitement with our audience about the third season knowing they will continue to take us to unexpected and thrilling places.”
    Glover, who also moonlights as a successful rapper named Childish Gambino, says the cast is eager to build on the show’s success.
     “We were all on iMessage together and kind of talking about it, and I think people were really hungry to like beat ourselves, which is great,: he told the panel.
    The show also stars  Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Stanfield and Zazie Beetz.
