The Power of Conversation: Highlights from Night of Ideas Atlanta 2023

3/22/2023

Comments

 
In the spirit of the 60th anniversary of Dr Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech, Night of Ideas Atlanta 2023 explored how the historical concept of rights opens the present to new political, cultural, and ethical possibilities.​
​At the Night of Ideas Atlanta 2023, we explored the National Center for Civil and Human Rights and enjoyed an educational and uplifting evening of talks and performances with academics, activists, artists, journalists, and thought leaders exploring the challenges of the present and the future and connecting the civil rights movement's history to the ongoing fight for justice and equality.
​Thanks to the Atlanta Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs, The National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and Villa Albertine for a lovely night.

If you are a fan of Brat Loves Judy on WeTV, you already know that Brat Loves Judy Season 2 Finale  ended with Brat having an exclusive listening party and with Brat and Judy mentioning that Brat Loves Judy will be back for season 3!!!!! 
If you look really closely during the listening party, you will see that When We Speak TV was one of the invited media.
We were so excited to run into Hero The Band while we were there, who performed with Da Brat and is featured on her new single, Tick Tock. 
When We Speak TV interviewed Hero The Band, early in their career and from what they told us.......we were one of their first interviews!!!!  
Brat Loves Judy Season 2
Da Brat and Judy at Album Listening Party for Da Brat in Atlanta.
It is always a great moment when we run into former When We Speak TV guests. That's why we always try to make it a point to SPEAK to previous guests when we see them out at events or around town....if possible.
