How to Fully Savor a Spoken Word Night in the City
Here’s your local’s guide to enjoying a spoken word performance the right way — whether it’s your first time at Apache Café, the Thursday night open mic at Kat’s Café in Midtown, or a feature show at the historic Wren’s Nest.
- Get there early, but not too early
Doors usually say 7:30 p.m., real ones show up around 8:15. That’s when the host is still playing trap-soul remixes and you can snag a good seat — close enough to see the poet’s hands tremble (or not tremble), far enough back that you don’t feel pressured when they ask, “Can I get a snap if you feel this?” - Order something strong, something sweet, or both
A rum punch from the bar at Vibes Night Lounge hits different when the poet is talking about their grandmother’s hands. A slice of red velvet from Kat’s Café tastes like forgiveness when someone on stage is finally forgiving themselves. - Learn the etiquette before you embarrass your mama
- Snaps over claps. Save the loud applause for the very end.
- No talking during the poem. That’s sacred time. Save your “Ooooh, she clocked him!” commentary for the break.
- If the poet says “This is for Black women in the room,” and you’re not a Black woman, your job is to listen twice as hard and clap twice as loud when it’s over.
- Let the poem hit you in the body, not just the head
The best pieces will make your shoulders tense up, your eyes water, or your foot start patting without permission. That’s normal. That’s the point. One night at Buteco in Grant Park, a poet named Truth killed the room into silence with a piece about his father’s last voicemail. You could hear ice melting in glasses. That’s Atlanta spoken word at its finest. - Stay for the open mic — that’s where the magic hides
The featured poet is great, but the 19-year-old who just worked up the nerve to read their first poem about heartbreak on the Red Line MARTA? That’s the one you’ll quote to your friends tomorrow. - Tip the poets if there’s a bucket
Most of these artists drove in from College Park, East Point, or Decatur on hope and a half-tank of gas. Five dollars feels like respect. - Take something home
Buy the chapbook, the $10 CD, the sticker. Ask the poet to sign it. Ten years from now, you’ll pull it off your shelf and remember the night the room held its breath together.
Atlanta’s spoken word scene isn’t just entertainment — it’s church, therapy, protest, and family reunion all rolled into one. Come as you are. Leave different.
Next spots to catch a vibe this week:
- Wednesday: “Lyricism & Libations” at Joystick Gamebar (Edgewood)
- Thursday: Kat’s Café Open Mic (Midtown)
- Friday: “Unbound” featuring Jon Goode at Riverside Epicenter (Roswell)
See you in the cypher, family. Bring your heart. Leave your phone on silent.
Final Word
No matter if you want to catch a comedy club, go out for a night of cocktails and hookah, or go to the club, Atlanta has it all. And if you want to eat in a special place, Atlanta new restaurants continue to pop up every week!

In a high-profile federal lawsuit filed on June 30, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Francesca Amiker, co-host of The Big Tigger Morning Show on Atlanta’s iconic V-103 (WVEE-FM), has accused Alicia Brown—the wife of veteran radio personality Darian “Big Tigger” Morgan—of defamation.
Disturbing video shows Big Tigger physical altercation with wife as child screams.
Amiker claims Brown’s social media posts falsely portrayed her as a “mistress/homewrecker” involved in an extramarital affair with Big Tigger, leading to widespread harassment, reputational damage, professional losses, emotional distress, and the need for crisis management.
V-103 Co-Host Francesca Amiker Sues Big Tigger’s Wife Alicia Brown for Defamation Amid Explosive Allegations of Affair and Domestic Turmoil
The suit, which seeks defamation damages, attorney’s fees, punitive damages, and a jury trial, highlights the intersection of personal drama, public scrutiny, and professional radio dynamics in Atlanta’s tight-knit media scene. It arrives just weeks after Big Tigger’s arrest on aggravated battery and cruelty to children charges stemming from a May 9, 2026, domestic incident.
Background: A Professional Partnership Under Fire
Big Tigger, born Darian Morgan in 1972, is a legendary figure in Atlanta media and hip-hop culture. He gained national fame as host of BET’s Rap City (including “Tha Bassment”) and 106 & Park, and has built a long career in radio, including stints in Washington, D.C., before returning to Atlanta. He joined V-103 in 2013 and took over the morning drive slot in 2020. Beyond radio, he serves as the in-game DJ for Atlanta Falcons games and PA announcer for the Atlanta Hawks.
Francesca Amiker, a four-time Emmy Award-winning journalist and Atlanta native, joined V-103 earlier in 2026 as part of a programming refresh. After years at 11Alive (WXIA-TV) and as an E! News correspondent, she officially became co-host of The Big Tigger Morning Show in May 2026, teaming with Big Tigger for the 6-10 a.m. weekday slot. Station leadership and Amiker herself described the move as a full-circle moment, blending her broadcasting expertise with V-103’s cultural legacy.
Prior to Amiker, the show had seen several co-hosts, including Tyler Chronicles, Ms. Pat, Shamea Morton, and Jazzy McBee. Their on-air chemistry was presented as professional and energetic, focused on music, entertainment news, and community connection.
The Spark: Domestic Incident and Social Media Accusations
According to police reports and the arrest warrant, the May 9 argument between Big Tigger and Brown centered on text messages between Morgan and a co-worker. Brown began recording the dispute, leading to a physical altercation over a cellphone.
Read up on Big Tigger’s arrest in Sandy Springs.
Brown alleged Morgan shoved her, causing her to hit a door and sustain a deep laceration above her left eye requiring stitches, plus visible disfigurement and a bruise. Their 13-year-old son (from Brown’s prior relationship) was present, contributing to the child cruelty charge.
Brown took to Instagram, posting content—including a video showing her injuries with a caption tagging or referencing Amiker—that implied Amiker’s involvement in the marital strife and suggested an affair. Posts allegedly portrayed Amiker as responsible for or condoning violence against women. Many posts were later deleted but had already circulated widely.
Big Tigger was arrested on June 20, 2026. He has denied the allegations, calling them false. In a public statement on his Instagram, he clarified: “Francesca and I have never been anything more than friends and respected colleagues,” apologized to Amiker for the impact, and requested privacy for his family.
Amiker also publicly denied any romantic involvement, emphasizing her professionalism and the harm to her reputation built over a 16-year career.
The Lawsuit: Claims of Malice and Harm
Amiker’s complaint details how Brown’s posts triggered “incessant public and private harassment, humiliation, ridicule, and threats.” It argues the statements were made with actual malice, knowing they were false, and caused tangible professional and emotional damage. The case is in federal court due to diversity of citizenship (Amiker in Georgia, Brown claiming North Carolina) and claimed damages exceeding $75,000.
In response to media inquiries, Brown provided a settlement demand letter to Amiker’s team. In it, she expressed belief that communications between Amiker and Big Tigger exceeded “appropriate professional boundaries,” citing examples like affectionate language and observed behavior at events (e.g., hugs and photos taken without acknowledging her presence). She linked the May 9 argument directly to tensions over the alleged relationship.
Amiker, through her publicist, has stated she will let the legal filing speak for itself.
Broader Context and Ongoing Fallout
The couple married in 2023 and welcomed a son in 2025. The situation is further complicated by prior public narratives around Brown, including references to a daughter from a previous relationship who went missing years ago.
Big Tigger has been off the air following his arrest, with Frank Ski and others filling in alongside Amiker. A protective order filed by Brown prohibits direct interaction between Morgan and Brown or her children.
This saga underscores the challenges public figures face when personal lives collide with professional ones in the age of social media. What began as a private marital dispute escalated into public accusations that have drawn in colleagues, fans, and now the federal courts.
As the defamation case proceeds alongside any criminal proceedings against Big Tigger, Atlanta’s media community and listeners await developments. Both Amiker and Morgan have stressed their commitment to professionalism and truth, while Brown maintains her focus on family and legal processes. The outcome could have lasting implications for reputations, careers, and the dynamics of morning radio in one of the country’s most vibrant markets.

They do taco Tuesday specials so I will be back to try again. My only gripe with this area is parking- it is always crowded and the parking lots are in poor condition.”

Amended court documents filed May 19 expand the picture of creditors as the Atlanta entrepreneur and Real Housewives of Atlanta star continues Chapter 11 reorganization.
Pinky Cole, founder of the popular plant-based burger chain Slutty Vegan and a cast member on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta, has updated her personal bankruptcy filings to show nearly $4 million in total debt — an increase from the approximately $3.6 million reported in earlier documents.
Pinky Cole’s Debt Rises to $4 Million
The amended filings, submitted to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, provide a more detailed breakdown of Cole’s creditors across credit cards, business suppliers, real estate, legal claims, and other obligations. The updates come several months after her initial Chapter 11 filing in February 2026.
Expanded Debt Breakdown
According to the updated documents:
- Credit cards: More than $70,000 owed across two American Express cards, plus an additional $12,000 on an Apple Card.
- Restaurant supplier: $107,625 owed to Edward Don & Company. The supplier is currently suing Cole in Henry County State Court and has also claimed $12,312 in attorney’s fees and $15,498 in interest on unpaid invoices.
- Real estate: $363,399 owed to JLL Realty for unpaid rent.
- Other significant obligations: $250,000 to CIH Group, an Atlanta-based investment management firm.
- Additional debts: Obligations to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Dentistry for Children, Henry County EMS, and various roadway toll authorities in Georgia and Ohio.
Earlier filings had already listed major liabilities including approximately $1.2 million in Small Business Administration (SBA) Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) debt and $192,000 in Georgia state tax obligations.
Rapid Rise and Financial Strain
Cole founded Slutty Vegan in 2018, starting with a food truck in Atlanta before rapidly expanding into a multi-location chain known for its bold branding and plant-based menu. At its peak, the brand was valued in the range of $100 million and operated or franchised numerous locations across the Southeast and beyond.
Cole has previously attributed the company’s financial challenges to the costs of rapid expansion, operational scaling, and shifts in the post-pandemic restaurant landscape. In 2024–2025, the business underwent a major restructuring; Cole temporarily lost ownership before buying the company back and repositioning it under a franchising model.
The Chapter 11 filing in February was framed as a reorganization effort rather than liquidation, allowing Cole to continue operating while working toward a repayment plan (due by mid-June in the initial timeline).
Spotlight on Real Housewives of Atlanta
Cole’s financial situation has unfolded publicly as she joins the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta for Season 17. Her appearances have highlighted both her entrepreneurial journey and the personal and business pressures she has faced, including the bankruptcy proceedings and efforts to stabilize Slutty Vegan.
What’s Next?
The bankruptcy case remains ongoing. Amended filings like these are common as debtors and trustees gather a fuller picture of assets and liabilities. Cole continues to be listed with significant assets alongside the growing list of creditors, and the focus remains on reorganization rather than closure of the business.
Slutty Vegan locations continue to operate, though the brand has faced closures and changes in some concepts (such as its short-lived Voagies hoagie spinoff) amid the broader financial restructuring.
This story underscores the challenges many entrepreneurs face when scaling quickly — even those who build beloved, high-profile brands. Pinky Cole’s next moves, both in the courtroom and on-screen, will be closely watched.

Perry is also hiring for other projects, Here’s how to get hired from a casting call for the show.
How Do I Audition For Tyler Perry?
Unlike the woman who got his attention by paying for a billboard, the most traditional way to audition for a Tyler Perry film or TV production is via casting call.
Casting calls typically require you to submit your photo and other pertinent information beforehand. If you are selected, you will get a call or email.
Is Tyler Perry Holding Auditions?
Perry typically hires casting companies to fill roles for his films. Any auditions will be orchestrated by the appropriate company that he has hired.
You don’t have to come to Tyler Perry Studios to audition for anything. He also hires casting companies that hold casting calls off-site away from where the films and TV shows are made.
Final Words
Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.
With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.
There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all. That’s why I suggest you subscribe to AtlantaFi.com to get all the freshest movie casting calls, celeb sightings and Atlanta happenings delivered to your inbox.
