Hey ya'll this is going to be a really short blog....I really just wanted to share with you the beautiful hat that I created for a party.  
Each year, a friend of mine hosts a holiday party. Each year, she has a different theme.  
For 2022, she wanted everyone to wear white or off white, and gold.

You know Jermaine Sain (ME) couldn't just show up in the colors without a statement piece.  That's when I came up with my idea of decorating a hat.  

It's Jermaine Sain of When We Speak TV and I'm super excited to share with you the Eastside Beltline 3K-10K organized by Atlanta Track Club and Atlanta BeltLine Partnership. This race is part of the Atlanta Beltline Race Series exploring BeltLine trail segments through historic neighborhoods.

Runners and walkers of the Eastside 3K -10k have the opportunity to tour the eastside stretch of the BeltLine trail along Krog Street Market, Ponce City Market and Piedmont Park.

Community organizations and businesses can join in the fun. There are awards for the top finishers, prizes for largest and fastest teams, and of course signature race tees with food, fun, and freebies!!  

 "Hey Speakers"
or should I say....
"Hello Beautiful People"

We are so excited that we got a chance to catch up with our friend, Rahbi.  

Rahbi is an amazing musical artist out of ATL that we have known for several years now.  He is also a former guest on When We Speak TV.  Although, I want to describe to you the type of artist he is, it's just not possible.. He's one of those artists that you just have to see for yourself.

​This holiday season, the new chapter in Illumination’s smash animated franchise arrives with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as the ever-optimistic Buster Moon and his all-star cast of performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet …all in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There’s just one hitch: They first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star—played by global music icon Bono, in his animated film debut—to join them.

Buster (Oscar® winner Matthew McConaughey) has turned the New Moon Theater into a local hit, but Buster has his eyes on a bigger prize: Debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City.
 
But with no connections, Buster and his cast—including harried mother Rosita (Oscar® winner Reese Witherspoon), rocker Ash (Scarlett Johansson), earnest Johnny (Taron Egerton), shy Meena (Tori Kelly) and, of course, provocateur Gunter (Nick Kroll)—have to sneak their way into the world-famous Crystal Entertainment offices, run by ruthless mogul Jimmy Crystal (Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale).

In a desperate attempt to get Mr. Crystal’s attention, Gunter spontaneously pitches an outrageous idea that Buster quickly runs with, promising that their new show will star rock legend Clay Calloway (Bono). Problem is, Buster has never met Clay, an artist who shut himself away from the world more than a decade ago after the loss of his wife. Even worse, Buster has failed to realize that Mr. Crystal is an egocentric gangster who would rather drop somebody off the roof of a building than be lied to.
 
As Gunter helps Buster dream up an out-of-this-world theatrical masterpiece, and the pressure (and sinister threats) from Mr. Crystal mount, Rosita’s leading role in the show gets ripped away and handed to Mr. Crystal’s spoiled daughter, Porsha, played by Grammy-nominated artist Halsey. Desperate to save the show, and his life, Buster embarks on a quest to find Clay and persuade him to return to the stage. 
 
What begins as a dream of big-time success becomes an emotional reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken heart.
