Lifetime’s Little Women: Atlanta series returns with six all-new mega-sized episodes beginning on Thursday, August 26 at 8pm/7c with two 90-minute episodes every Thursday throughout September. Airing immediately following each premiere, the after show Little Women: Atlanta Unfiltered, executive produced and hosted by Emmy and NAACP Image award-winner Loni Love, will take viewers behind the scenes of all the friendship, love and drama. The season picks up right where we left off with our favorite ladies - Ms. Juicy, Monie, the Tiny Twinz Amanda & Andrea, Abira and newcomer, Tamera – as they take on Hotlanta while pursuing their dreams during the pandemic.  

​This season the drama and excitement will continue as the Little Women of Atlanta rise up and make their mark on the Atlanta entertainment industry. While the ladies continue to juggle the pandemic, their careers, friendships, complicated love lives and motherhood, the tragic passing of their dear friend Minnie is still always on their minds. True to their grit and perseverance, despite the great loss, the ladies find a way to continue and bring their unique humor, talent and strength to all those that they encounter on their journey -- including visits from celebrity friends and some new faces along the way. 
 
All previously aired episodes of Little Women: Atlanta and Little Women: Atlanta Unfiltered are also available on the Lifetime app and mylifetime.com with a cable/carrier subscription for viewers to catch up and fans to take a look back at their favorite moments throughout the series. When the new episodes premiere, encore episodes of Little Women: Atlanta will be available to stream the day after.

​I was passing by my television a few days ago and saw that they were talking about Tyler Perry and TD Jakes but before I could get to the remote to turn up the volume, the story was over.  I went to the internet and found out that Tyler Perry is planning a big expansion in Atlanta.

Most of you already know that Tyler Perry Studios sits on what was once land of Fort McPherson, (a former US Army base in Atlanta).  Well, according to deadline.com, ​Tyler Perry and T.D. Jakes got the go-ahead from local authorities to purchase over 130 acres in Atlanta including a proposed expansion of Tyler Perry Studios for an entertainment district with theaters, retail shops, and restaurants.

THAT IS GREAT NEWS FOR NOT ONLY TYLER PERRY AND TD JAKES BUT ALSO THE BOOMING INDUSTRY IN ATLANTA!!!
