Nappy Roots 1-year Anniversary at Atlantucky Brewing
Where: Atlanta, GA
By: Cece Hymes
I had a chance to go and support the Nappy Roots on their one-year anniversary for opening up their Brewing called Atlantucky. Let’s talk a little about Atlantucky. It is a Black-owned brewer in the heart of Atlanta owned by the Nappy Roots. Nappy Roots came out of Kentucky and they put Atlanta and Kentucky together to make Atlantucky. Fish Scales and Skinny DeVille learned about beer and opened their own Brewing.
Every time I go there it has positive vibes and a mixed crowd. I love what they are doing and are still making great music. It is their 1-year anniversary, and they have some special performances to celebrate with them. I got a chance to see Pastor Troy, Fabo and Backbone from the Dungeon Family perform. All the members of Nappy Roots were in the building showing love to everyone.
If you haven’t checked out their spot make sure to check it out. Also, if you love a good beer they have different kinds and are steadily making new flavors for you to try. If you want to have an event, they also rent out one side of the building for events.
So proud of the Nappy Roots and hope they continue to be great and keep pushing out great music. Happy Nappy Anniversary and hope they have many many more. They also have Art shows, Writer room, Game night and many more other things there. Make sure to follow them to keep up with the new beers, music and events.
I had a chance to go to this event hosted by Michelle Taylor Willis. I love getting out and networking in Atlanta, GA. There are so many things to do here. I got a chance to meet Tray Chaney who was on Saints and Sinners. I also got a chance to meet Julian Brittano who has been in a couple of films. I interviewed him and learned a little more about his journey. Make sure to check it out. They had Kevin Savage and Rico Ball seen on #BET. They shared a lot of knowledge on the panel.
All these great men have been on the Wire and Saints and sinners. I know everyone has watched those shows. Julian was on Greenleaf when I interviewed him, he talked about his experience on that show. Here at this event, they share their personal experiences and knowledge to motivate and inspire those who are truly serious about getting into the industry.
Atlanta is the next Black Hollywood and there are so many movies and films being made here in Atlanta. I might need to get into film lol. I enjoyed this event and was glad to be invited out. I give all those men their roses today. They were sharp and shared a lot of information. Make sure to check them out and also follow me @Cece.Atl.
I got a chance to go check out The Pancakes & Booze Art Show with the ladies of W.S.S (Woman Stand Strong). It was different and cool. It is one of the largest pop-up live music & arts movements here in Atlanta. They do have this and go to different states. This was their 10th year serving free pancaking and introducing some great talent in art.
If you have Art that you want to present, you can submit your Artwork and be a part of their Pop-up. The directions on the GPS made it hard to find. I would recommend they put a sign outside or something. We had a hard time finding it. I really enjoyed the different drawings. I did not get a chance to try out the pancakes.
If you are an upcoming artist and want to strut your stuff, check them out. I have been wanting to check them out for a long time. I said 2023 I have to get out more and explore more of Atlanta Ga and what they have to offer.
Make sure to stay tuned and follow my journey @Cece.Atl or @Cece.atlbucketlist

Had a chance to go to this game where Alumni Riverdale vs. North Clayton with Celebrity Josh Powell playing. It was for the cause of putting out violence in education. They want to teach the youth that it’s more to life than violence. Ballin 4 Peace at Riverdale High school.
Here are a couple of videos and pictures of the game. I really enjoyed the game. Riverdale Alumni end up winning and taking home the trophy. Glad that we all can come together and do things in the community. Glad to be able to support a great cause and game. It is always something to do in the Atlanta area.
