Check out this weekend's edition of UPFRONT Inside Atlanta's Entertainment Industry.  I got an opportunity to chat with Atanta native and triple threat performer Shamiek Moore, star of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. He is making history as the first African-American-Latino Spider-Man. He also opens up about the power of words and manifesting your future. 

Athlete turned actor Jay Ellis was in Atlanta earlier this week promoting his new thriller---Escape Room. We discuss his role in the film and shooting on location in Cape Town, South Africa. He also opens up about which one of his Insecure castmates would survive an escape room and his desire to portray this iconic sports figure in a biopic. 

My last guest is award-winning radio personality, author and photographer Meredith Ochs. She has just released her newest book, ARETHA: The Queen of Soul - A Life in Photographs. It features over 85 photos of Franklin throughout her career with an insightful story penned by Ochs. We also discuss Franklin's legacy and the moment Ochs she stood face-to-face with her idol.
