​Atlanta Black Pride Weekend is an annual event that brings together members of the LGBTQ+ community, allies, and influencers from diverse backgrounds to celebrate love, diversity, and empowerment.
​As part of this empowering weekend, an influencer dinner was held, acting as a platform to unite and uplift those who have made a significant impact within the LGBTQ+ community.

The 2023 honorees include: EJ King, Saucy Santana, Simone Tisci, Dedrick Tillerson, Earl D. Fowlkes Jr., Tori Cooper, Derek J, Officer King, Dr. Alie Redd, Michael Jonvier, David Graves, Gocha Hawkins and Reggie Thomas.

​Exactly 50 years ago this fall, the most terrifying horror film in history landed on screens, shocking audiences around the world. Now, on Friday, October 6th , a new chapter begins.
​From Blumhouse and director David Gordon Green, who shattered the status quo with their resurrection of the Halloween franchise, comes The Exorcist: Believer.  

Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (portrayed by Tony winner and Oscar® nominee Leslie Odom, Jr) has raised their daughter, Angela on his own. 
 
But when Angela and her friend Katherine disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil. 
 
For the first time since the 1973 film, Oscar® winner Ellen Burstyn reprises her iconic role as Chris MacNeil, an actress who has been forever altered by what happened to her daughter Regan five decades before.

​Also worth mentioning, our good friend Nikki worked in the special effects department for this film, so you know I'll be watching.
Congratulations Nikki!!

Drop down in the comments and let us know if you'll be watching The Exorcist: Believer in theaters October 6th.

It was so refreshing to catch up with Chandra Currelley and words can never express how appreciative we are to have her love and support!!!
WE LOVE YOU CHANDRA!!!

 LJust a little background on Chandra Currelley.... Many people recognize her from her work with Tyler Perry but before that, Chandra was the lead singer of the R&B band, SOS Band, and she has performed in many musical theater productions by not just Tyler Perry but also Debbie Allen and Kenny Leon.  
Chandra has appeared in at least eight of Tyler Perry's films, as well as, his series For Better Or Worse, which aired on the OWN Network and Bruh which airs on BET+.

Here's another little know fact about Chandra Currelley
​Chandra credits LaTanya Richardson and Samuel L. Jackson for guiding her in the right direction professionally long before the married couple became Hollywood heavyweights.   
In fact, Chandra says that Samuel L. Jackson, "paid for my theater workshop. "

Trombonist, Jeff Bradshaw, has recorded with and performed alongside many great artists like Jill Scott, Michael Jackson, Patti Labelle, Jay Z, The Roots, and many more.
​
​When We Speak TV catches up with Jeff Bradshaw to speak about life lessons and his musical journey.

From allmusic.com :
A North Philadelphia-born soul-jazz and hip-hop/funk innovator and trombone virtuoso, Jeff Bradshaw spent his formative years honing his chops alongside some of the biggest names both in and out of the Philly soul movement. By the time he got around to releasing his solo debut, 2004's critically acclaimed Bone Deep, he had shared the stage with such industry luminaries as Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind & Fire, Patti Labelle, Erykah Badu, and countless others.

Bone Deep made him a festival circuit mainstay, and he spent the next eight years refining his signature smooth and immediate sound in both a solo setting and in support of artists like Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z, the Roots, and Jill Scott. In 2012 he issued his sophomore long-player, Bone Appetit, which featured a host of guest artists, including Kindred the Family Soul, Raheem DeVaughn, Floacist, and Marsha Ambrosius.

Let Freedom Sing is a free, family friendly event that occurs on July 4th.  Nashvillians and visitors from all over come to celebrate the holiday in downtown Music City.  ​

The summer heat was turned up even hotter with the activities, and concerts.  We began the day in Music City Walk of Fame Park, at the Amazon Family Fun Zone, which included inflatables, live music, a cooling station, and free samples of Dr Pepper's new Strawberries and Cream.   ​

Thereafter, we head to Hyatt Centric hotel to speak with rising country artist, Tiera Kennedy, who performed the national anthem and opened the main show at Jack Daniel's Broadway Stage. ​

As the night drew closer, inclement weather brought the show to a pause but eventually the celebration continued with an explosive performance from country music superstar, Brad Paisley.....and ending the event with one of the country's largest July 4th fireworks shows synchonized to live music from the Nashville Symphony.  ​

Country Star, Tiera Kennedy speaks with When We Speak TV during the Let Freedom Sing! Music City event in Nashville. 

Tiera Kennedy shares how words from Shania Twain have encouraged her during her music career.
