The beginning of something new.

Seeing every aspect of our 2024 election; it may seem like we are doomed, but in reality we are only at the beginning of a new era. We are witnessing another opportunity for us, as a collective nationally and internationally, to practice unity in the most historical way.

Beginning with ourselves, the healing of our world starts with us as individuals. Before we can practice unity, even when it comes to our community, it still requires us to get more involved. Before we get involved, we need to unlearn everything we’ve been told about who we are, what we’ve come from, know that we are beings of love and light, and that we were all made in the image of our creator.

No longer shall fear create the illusion of survival, because it no longer serves us. I’m excited for us in 2025; this is when all truth comes to light!

The Peach Drop Returns to Underground Atlanta

After several cancellations in recent years, Atlanta’s iconic New Year’s Eve Peach Drop is set to return to Underground Atlanta on December 31, 2024.

“It is my pleasure to bring this beloved tradition back to the heart of Downtown Atlanta during its truly historic and transformative renaissance,” said Mayor Andre Dickens.

The event kicks off at 6:00 p.m., with performances by some of the industry’s top artists. Headlining the celebration is Atlanta’s own Big Boi, one of hip-hop’s most innovative and successful artists and half of the groundbreaking duo OutKast. He will be joined by American rock band Neon Trees and singer-songwriter RES. Two-time Emmy Award winner and Atlanta native Ryan Cameron will host the festivities, saying, “I look forward to again being up close and personal with 100K of ATL’s finest.”

It has been a defining part of Atlanta’s New Year’s since 1989, when tens of thousands showed up to ring in the year. Over the years, though, the Peach Drop has seen many venue changes and COVID-19 that canceled it in recent years. This return just goes to show the revitalization of the city’s cultural festivities, and it will be an exciting time for both the residents and visitors.

It will be produced by Live Nation, a global entertainment company, to ensure every guest has a quality experience. The Peach Drop will remain free and open to all so that everyone can enjoy Atlanta’s one-of-a-kind tradition of ringing in the New Year.

The return of the Peach Drop sends a message that the city is concerned with culture preservation and restoration; the New Year starts in very high gear for those taking part.
