  • PopOut Magazine event!

    Last Sunday was a perfect day to get out and experience something new, so my fam and I decided to step out and attend the PopOut Magazine event. It was my first time attending one of their events, and let me tell you—I was not disappointed! The energy was electric, the people were buzzing, and the vibe was nothing short of fabulous.

    The highlight of the event was the unveiling of their newest cover featuring the one and only Erica Dixon, alongside Ryan Christopher and Mimi Faust. A huge congrats to all of them for landing the cover and for all the amazing accomplishments they’ve achieved. It’s always inspiring to see people shine in their respective fields, and this trio is definitely doing big things!

    One of my favorite parts of the event was the incredible mix of people in attendance. The room was filled with influencers, creators, and movers and shakers from all over Atlanta. There’s something about the Atlanta networking scene that I absolutely love—it’s such a welcoming environment where you can meet new people, exchange ideas, and collaborate on different projects. Everyone was out, dressed to impress, and ready to connect.

    For me, events like this are more than just social gatherings—they’re opportunities to grow, expand my circle, and soak in the creative energy that this city has to offer. I’m always looking to meet new people, and Atlanta is the perfect place for that. The conversations were flowing, and I left the event feeling inspired and recharged, with a few new connections to boot.

    Overall, it was a fantastic event! I’m so glad we decided to pop out and experience it. If you haven’t been to a PopOut Magazine event yet, I highly recommend it. You never know who you’ll meet or what connections you’ll make. Plus, it’s always fun to celebrate the success of others and be in a room filled with such positive, creative energy.

    Looking forward to the next one!

    Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner, also known as Flo Jo, was a track and field athlete. She set world records in 1988 for the 100m and 200m. She was also known for her amazing fashion looks on the track.

    “Nothing is going to be handed to you-you have to make things happen”

    She was great. She inspired other athletes into fashion. Why not look good and run. What are some of your great memories you want to share of Flo Jo? Also make sure to follow me @Cece.Atl
