This past weekend, I had the honor of attending a powerful women’s empowerment event at the beautiful Old Fourth Ward Park in Atlanta. The atmosphere was vibrant, the energy was high, and the conversations were deeply meaningful. The event featured none other than Toya Johnson-Rushing, her daughter Reginae Carter, and Toya’s husband, Red Rushing—three individuals who brought wisdom, authenticity, and warmth to the experience.

What made this event so special was the intentional structure that encouraged real connection. Attendees were split into small groups of 10 to 15, creating a safe and intimate space for open dialogue. Each group had its own focus, with topics designed to spark growth, healing, and empowerment.

Getting Real with Reginae

In my group, led by Reginae, we dove deep. Our conversation touched on everything from fear and self-doubt to the complex dynamics of family life. We spoke candidly about the boundaries we need to set for our own peace of mind—and how hard that can be, especially with those closest to us. Reginae didn’t hold back; she shared her personal journey with transparency and grace, creating an environment where everyone felt seen and heard.

Self-Care with Toya

Toya’s session was all about self-care and showing up for yourself. She reminded us that taking time to recharge isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. During our discussion, I shared that roller skating is one of my favorite ways to unwind. It’s my therapy on wheels. I even extended an invitation to anyone who wants to join me at Cascade for a skate session. Sometimes, the best way to process life is to glide through it to a good beat.

A Celebration of Women

Beyond the individual sessions, the event as a whole was a celebration of sisterhood, strength, and shared experience. It reminded us that healing and empowerment don’t always come in the form of grand gestures—sometimes, they happen in honest conversations, in laughter under the sun, or in the rhythm of skates hitting the pavement.

I left feeling lighter, more inspired, and deeply connected to a community of women committed to growth. Shoutout to Toya, Reginae, and Red for holding space in such a thoughtful way. And of course, thank you to everyone who showed up, shared their truth, and made the day unforgettable.

Until next time—

Keep shining and showing out.

Fashion lovers, creatives, and culture connoisseurs — tonight is the night. The highly anticipated Indie Fashion Show is hitting the runway in Atlanta on Saturday, June 7th, 2025, and the energy is unmatched.

On a sunny afternoon along the bustling Atlanta BeltLine, I caught up with Sorline, a Brooklyn native who’s traded the fast-paced streets of New York for the southern charm of Atlanta. Pedaling through the city on her bike—her first ride on the BeltLine—Sorline shared a moment of reflection, adventure, and growth.

It’s been three years since she made the move, and while she admits Atlanta didn’t immediately feel like home, the city is finally winning her heart. “It took a while,” she says with a laugh, “but now I’m really starting to love it.”

By day, Sorline works at Nado, a Japanese restaurant that’s become one of the hidden culinary gems in the city. But her story runs deeper than a career shift or a change in scenery.

When asked where she finds her inspiration, her eyes light up. She speaks with reverence about her sister—her hero—who has faced serious health battles but continues to push forward with grace and determination. Running businesses, staying strong in spirit, and never losing her sense of purpose, Sorline’s sister is a living example of resilience. “She’s my biggest inspiration,” Sorline says. “She never gives up.”

For those considering a move from cities like New York to Atlanta, Sorline offers a simple, powerful piece of advice: “Always be authentic from where you come from and where you land.” In a city that’s constantly evolving, that authenticity—staying rooted while learning to grow—might just be the secret to thriving here.

As she rides off into the hum of Atlanta’s weekend energy, Sorline leaves behind a message that feels especially timely: It’s not just about where you’re from or where you’re going—it’s about showing up fully, wherever you are.

JAM Culture TV had an exclusive backstage pass to one of the most heartfelt events in Atlanta’s entertainment circle: Akbar V’s baby shower. Hosted in the heart of the city, the celebration brought together family, close friends, and familiar faces from the local scene, all gathering to show love and support for the rapper and reality TV star.

Special thanks to The Jamison Agency for the invitation into Akbar V’s world during this joyous milestone. As guests mingled and music filled the room, all eyes turned when Akbar made her entrance—radiant and glowing. She took center stage on a custom setup designed by Poppin Creations, whose event planning and décor transformed the space into a luxe, welcoming vibe that perfectly matched the moment.

From heartfelt speeches to laughter and love in the air, this baby shower was a celebration of life, legacy, and the strong bonds of Atlanta’s creative community.
