During Atlanta Black Pride, I see the same narrative...
“Atlanta is nothing but fights.”
“Atlanta is just gay and petty”
“Atlanta is [insert negative connotation here]”

You haven’t truly taken the time to get to know our #Atlanta.

[A thread]

#Atlanta has some of the RICHEST and most DIVERSE history in the world. Atlanta also is a true home of the foodie! Atlanta also has THE BEST undiscovered and popular musical acts in the world! It is one of the fastest progressive cities in the US to date! Here are some resources

You can even check the HBCU’s in #Atlanta who have too tier education and some of the best homecomings ever

You can even find the home of Martin Luther King Jr and his church, restaurant by celebs like @Kandi and @kmichelle to name a few..

Home to celebs like @MonicaDenise & @Tip , @tylerperry & @TheCW film studios , my favorite thai spot (Thai 5), and so much more!!

You can even find a fun little day job being an extra on shows like #Dynasty , @TheWalkingDead (which has a tour), and upcoming #MCU movies!

My fav part about #Atlanta ? The beltline and the park. The center for damn near everything. You can take a romantic brisk walk getting a @kingofpops & see “graffiti” art or take your dog out for some exercise while feeling part of a “metropolis”. Ooo and try the HIGH museum!

Try “the taste of #atlanta ”, restaurant week, and the evening have a grilled cheese festival! Lol

#Atlanta also hosts two of the biggest gay prides this world has ever known. Atlanta is known for its love and acceptance!

Maybe take a Saturday night or Sunday to check out some major sports teams as well! I suggest the soccer team that plays at the Mercedes Benz area. It is truly a remarkable experience inside. Try out Trust Park too (Home of the Braves).

This is just a portion or “My Atlanta”. Discover your own. The next time you hear someone say something negative about #Atlanta, just laugh. They have no idea what they are talking about.
