  Pink Pineapple Boutiques I met Jamye about two years ago as she was referred to me by another client for tax services. I instantly got that go getter vibe from her because she spoke vividly about her passion for fashion and designing. So I was not at all surprised when I received the email newsletter about the Grand Opening of Pink Pineapple Boutiques. I was intrigued simply by the name and of course as only a true entrepreneur would, she explained "Pineapple" has become the universal symbol for hospitality, welcome, charm and style and the color "Pink" is known to evoke creativity and warmth and is simply one of her fave colors. Located in a cute, welcoming and charming studio overlooking Historic read more

Philantropy Corner – The Luda Foundation

Meta: Philanthropy Corner 4:17 pm

It looks as if our hometown hero, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges is still at it. This weekend in Atlanta will be huge for Luda and his foundation, The Ludacris Foundation (TLF). Ludacris, TLF and an Atlanta car dealership, Nissan South are partnering for “Stars for Cars – The LudaDay Giveaway”, to give away 20 used vehicles to several deserving Metro Atlanta area residents.

According to TLF President, Roberta Shields, “Our major focus is youth and supporting the family structure and this year we want to do something to help youth and families manage during these tough economic times. Having a vehicle to get back and forth to work and daycare can make the difference in getting and keeping a job, she stated.”

Since 2001 Luda and his foundation has combined fun filled weekend activities with donating thousands in charitable grants to non-profits throughout Atlanta.

From Back to school drives to Christmas toy giveaways to benefit dinners with the likes of Mayor Shirley Franklin, Magic Johnson, Quincy Jones, Kevin Liles, Deborah Lee and Jane Fonda just to name a few, TLF is truly standing out as a philanthropy powerhouse and setting a great example of what giving back entails.

Check out their award winning website filled with valuable information and future and past events. Among the programs Ludacris and his foundation are passionate about is, Ludacares, Healthy Lifestyles 101, Leadership 101, Runaway Love Campaign and HIV/AIDS Awareness.

Congrats to Luda!

  Can Kanye save Fatburger?
  
  Kanye West, Mr. West as he sometimes refers to himself has a new venture, no not the well sort after Louis Vutton shoe line he recently released but he’s scheduled to open the first of 10 Fatburgers Restaurants in a Chicago suburban area this month.
  
  KW Foods LLC, will bring Fatburgers to several areas, including California. Am I surprised Kanye has jumped into the food business, no not at all. He has proven himself to be a constant perfectionist with millions of albums sold and a shoe line, which range in price from $800-$1000 a pair, that was sold out before the store doors opened, growing his wealth seems to be heavy on his mind.
