We Read a Fly Girl Mixer comes to Atlanta with an all-star lineup of black girl magic
We Read a Fly Girl Mixer is a traveling event that brings readers face-to-face with their favorite authors and bloggers. The events are set in different cities across the country offering readers a chance to enjoy food, music, empowerment panels, and an intimate social with writers. It has become a well received, out-of-the-box way to showcase literary artists.
Past experiences have featured reality stars, celebrity authors, popular bloggers and socialites. This edition will be no different with a great blend of fashionistas, novelists, and leading voices that entertain and inspire readers. The format is an interactive panel of boss chicks with a mixer and book signing following the discussion. The panel is moderated by Talia O. journalist from The Shade Room.
This free event features an all-star lineup that includes NY times best-selling author Mary B. Morrison, creator of the AAMBC Awards Tamika Newhouse, self-made millionaire of urban fiction Myss Shan, and global brand builder and ghost-writer Legendary LaQuita.
Presented by AAMBC, a nonprofit organization that advocates for literacy, and hosted at the Auburn Ave. Research Library, hundreds of ladies will gather for relationship chatter, boss talk, and it will all be centered around books. A book signing and artists fellowship will conclude the evening as guest will be able to snap shots on the red carpet, partake in the social media fun, and take pictures with their favorite writer.

Full-Figured Flings Teaser Nears 10K Views – Director of Photography Offers Special Father’s Day Release
Back 2 the Basics Production Management Group is proud to announce the official teaser premiere for FFF: Full-Figured Flings, a bold and unapologetic new film celebrating full-figured women and challenging the norms of beauty in Hollywood. Clocking in at just 46 seconds, the teaser doesn’t waste a moment, delivering a powerful visual and emotional punch that sets the tone for a project rooted in body positivity, size inclusivity, and cultural truth.
Premiering ahead of the 20th anniversary of Phat Girlz (2006), FFF serves as both homage and evolution. The film expands the conversation around colorism, sizeism, and shapeism, spotlighting women who have often been cast aside, sidelined, or silenced.
“This teaser is more than a preview—it’s a declaration,” said Lillie Mae Jones, creator and producer. “FFF is our love letter to the women who’ve never been centered but have always been essential. We’re not just telling stories—we’re shifting the lens.”
FFF: Full-Figured Flings is currently in development as a non-union independent production, with plans to release in 2026. The film invites audiences and allies to follow, support, and amplify the message through community engagement, open casting calls, and creative collaborations—including the launch of a nationwide call for a “Big Girl Anthem” to serve as the film’s official theme song.
Accept the Challenge…
The buzz is building fast around the highly anticipated full-figured fashion experience FFF, and now there’s a challenge on the table that fans won’t want to miss.
After racking up 11,000 views in less than 10 days, the official teaser video for FFF on YouTube is quickly gaining momentum. And now, the film’s Director of Photography, Dominique Perry, has thrown down a bold offer:
“If we hit 20,000 views before Saturday, June 14th, I’ll drop an exclusive second teaser on Father’s Day.”
This is more than a film—it’s a movement. FFF is a high-fashion, high-impact visual celebration of full-figured women taking a stand for representation, inclusion, and power on and off the runway.
Here’s how you can help make it happen: Watch the teaser now on YouTube. Like, comment, and subscribe. Share it with your community and post why YOU stand in solidarity with full-figured women
