Plans for new baby boom are a bust for motherhood

1 week ago | ajc.com | Nedra Rhone

As Mother’s Day approaches this weekend, I am unsettled by a movement moving into mainstream culture. Pronatalism, an ideology that encourages women to have more children to reverse a decline in birth rates, is back with a new group of proponents buoyed by the support of government allies. I’ll state here that I love children. I love being a mother.
RHONE: Target boycott must aim higher than reinstating DEI programs

2 weeks ago | ajc.com | Nedra Rhone

I haven’t been to a Target since February 14. That was two weeks after Minnesota activists called for a boycott of the massive retailer to protest Target’s announcement that it would end diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and investments to stay in “step with the evolving external landscape.”The external landscape had evolved days earlier when President Donald Trump issued an executive order ending federal DEI programs.
Spring break hasn't changed. We have.

3 weeks ago | ledger-enquirer.com | Nedra Rhone

Spring break season has almost come to an end. If the dispatches from Georgia, Florida and other coastal states are to be believed, 2025 could be remembered as the year America wrestled spring break into submission. This past weekend, Orange Crush, one of the final gatherings of the season, brought tens of thousands of young people to Tybee Island.

Why Braves reporter Wiley Ballard's antics were a 'swing and a miss'

This one is insider baseball. At the Monday night start to the three-game series between the Atlanta Braves and the Toronto Blue Jays, fans watched reporter Wiley Ballard shoot his shot at the top of the fifth inning while interviewing two fans at the Rogers Centre Rooftop.

Perry Greene apologized for his behavior, but what is he going to do about it?

1 month ago | ajc.com | Nedra Rhone

Perry Greene, the ex-husband of U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, needs your attention because he has some free speech he would like to share. On March 30, while exiting the parking lot at Avalon shopping center in Alpharetta, Greene rolled down the window of his Tesla Cybertruck to hurl expletives at a group of young women engaged in prayer. He didn’t know what country they were from, but he wanted them to go back to it, he said. It didn’t matter that they were U.S. born and raised.
In Atlanta, affordable housing is key to American dream

1 month ago | ajc.com | Nedra Rhone

I usually don’t answer calls from unknown numbers. But last month, I was rushing to the car and picked up a call rather than allowing it to go to voicemail. “Hello, Nedra? This is Dorice Nolan. You wrote a story about me a few years ago.”“Tell me more,” I said as I mentally ticked through past columns. Nolan described our 2022 interview about her struggle to find affordable housing in metro Atlanta. We chatted a bit before I asked the reason for her call. “I was just feeling grateful,” she said.
RHONE: Show some love for the lazy lawns in your neighborhood

1 month ago | macon.com | Nedra Rhone

Every year around this time, I join legions of metro Atlanta residents who scroll the neighborhood chats seeking recommendations for lawn care. Mostly, people just want someone reliable who will show up and do a decent job. It doesn't feel like it should be that hard but in almost 10 years, I've had almost as many lawn guys. Even though I am the least demanding client on Earth, I have good information that my yard isn't the easiest to maintain.
