This weekend's edition of UPFRONT Inside Atlanta's Entertainment Industry is all about acceptance, growth, reconciliation, faith and following your passions and dreams. It features one-on-one interviews with best-selling author and thought leader Dr. Cindy Trimm and part two of my intimate conversation with artistic director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater---Mr. Robert Battle.
Is it normal to grieve over the death of a celebrity? Well, Dr. Cindy Trimm is here to chat about that and society's infatuation with famous people. She also offers tips from her new book Goodbye, Yesterday on how to accept loss and why we're constantly in a state of grief. She also gives inspirational words for those who haven't gotten over the sudden death of a loved one and how to find the "good in bad situation." This is a must for those who are grieving the recent death of NBA superstar Kobe Bryant.
My last segment is part two of my conversation with Ailey's Robert Battle. The artistic director opens up about one of the company's newest works---https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlOXNH-vZ6s">Greenwood---and his future plans for this new decade. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater returns to the Fabulous Fox Theatre February 20-23. Click here for tickets and information.
