Big Boi still thinks about the day his life changed forever. It was the early 1990s, and as a teenager, he stood inside of Lamonte‘s Beauty Supply story at Headland and Delowe drives in East Point to freestyle for Rico Wade. He and his partner-in-rhyme, André 3000, spent what felt like an eternity rapping bars over the beat from “Scenario” by A Tribe Called Quest.

During his annual State of the City address earlier this year, Mayor Andre Dickens was boastful about Atlanta's being a place where Black residents can thrive. Citing credited (and uncredited) data points, Hizzoner reeled off a list of superlatives. It's true that Atlanta and the metro area ranks high for Black-owned business, homeownership and in-migration. Of course, like any major city with large Black populations, there are challenges.

My own search for a therapist led me to the latest story in the Black mecca series. Thankful that Atlanta natives Savannah Elahee and Archie Clay III were willing to share their stories with me. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth https://t.co/84jXL4vTDA

Wishing a happy, well-deserved retirement to my guy, @RamCNN. A legend in the newsroom and on the rec league football pitch. One of one.

This man changed my life. "Take your work seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously." https://t.co/o4c2Vmqsnz
