THREAD: Friday, April 3, 2020. A bittersweet day for me and others. Today was the day, OUR day, to welcome fans, teams and Atlantans to the 2020 @FinalFour. It was supposed to be opening day for the Digital Hub. We had recruited some of the BEST content creators from all over GA.
2/I want to take a moment to recognize these people for their time, effort and ideas. Many of whom do this for a living (way better than me) and were going to bring a new level of creativity to the table.
This is my first ever thread, apologies for any formatting miscues.

3/Our Social Media Committee first met last summer and then semi-monthly. The committee included the rockstars behind some of Atlanta& #39;s best social accounts.

5/I& #39;m disappointed our Digital Hub content creators will not have their work showcased on the @FinalFour platform. I want to do my best to show off some of their skills here. They deserve a larger audience. Please connect and collaborate with them. They& #39;re all rockstars.
6/I had a great partnership with host institution @GTAthletics, thanks to @simit_shah. He thankfully allowed me to work with Brad Ahern & @TheBenZone on a few projects.
Here& #39;s one Ben shot and edited https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1222186031916691457
Both">https://twitter.com/i/web/sta... really get it and are so, so talented.

8/Thank you to @lupedaddyflex (jealous of that handle) who put together multiple videos for us. He shot and edited the best Fan Jam video we did all year. I was excited to see you shine during event week!

9/10 years from now when she& #39;s anchoring @SportsCenter, I& #39;ll regret that I never had the chance to work with @Jala_Norman during this event. She brought so many ideas and is uber talented.
