6XTOne: A City-Wide Celebration

If you’ve recently been around Atlanta, Georgia, and visited the Hartsfield Jackson Airport, wandered around downtown, or found yourself at the Woodruff Arts Center, your gaze has probably been met by beautiful art pieces showcased on towering billboards, digital signs, and shining displays. Art can be found anywhere throughout Atlanta, but these locations in particular have recently been decorated with pieces from the 6XTOne exhibition. Held from Jan.1 through Jan. 5, 6XTOne was a city-wide art exhibition created to celebrate the inauguration of Atlanta’s 61st Mayor, Andre Dickens, and showcases the beautiful work of 61 Atlanta-based artists. Mayor Dickens is a strong advocate of the arts in Atlanta and even insisted the exhibition take place during his inauguration. This celebration is yet one of his many initiatives to preserve the art and support the many artists who reside in Atlanta.

Alina Baraz: R&B Romantic

Love can take on new shapes and forms through art. Music is one of the big ways artists express their experiences with love and share it with the world. One artist taking love by the reins is Alina Baraz, who truly puts her heart and soul into all of her work. 

The talented Alina Baraz has been on my music radar for quite some time now. I remember first hearing of the American singer back in 2017 through her collaboration with pop star Khalid  on a single called "Electric.”

A Journal for Jordan: Love, Triumph, and Loss


There was a strange aura in the theaters that night. The crowd was small and mainly filled with middle-aged ladies either alone or seated with girlfriends. I noticed many tissue boxes and braced myself for the inevitable teary-eyed dance that would follow me out of the theater. 

Leading up to "A Journal for Jordan," I wondered how the film would grasp my short attention span as I tried not to reach for my phone during the previews. To my surprise, it did more than that, before I knew it I found myself fully mesmerized by the movie’s message and of course by acting sensation and eye candy Michael B. Jordan.
