  “The Pursuit of Your Dream” Written By: Diana Rhodes How many of us can say we are exactly where we want to be in life?  How many of us can say we are doing what we always wanted to do? Have you ever sat at your desk at work and thought, is this all there is for me? If living in the Covid 19 era hasn’t taught us anything else, it most certainly has taught us that there has to be more to life than what we have allowed ourselves to become accustomed to.

For me, being locked down turned into an unexpected blessing because it allowed me to go deeper into myself and pull out what was already stirring inside of my thoughts.

Before I moved here, I visited every year and reported to the now defunct Georgia Dome to be a part of the magnificent “Battle of The Bands”.  It made me proud to be a black woman every time I witnessed the magnificent showmanship of our elite HBCU bands. (Shout out to the Alabama State “Honeybeez”!) These days, I have a new sense of pride. I officially live in the Atlanta area and I am proud to be a part of what is now known as “Black Hollywood”. What exactly is Black Hollywood? Quite frankly, it is a culture shift that has found its home in Georgia.

She avoided giving details of her personal life. Jordan left her purse in her car because...
