Fall Culture Preview = Major Mood

 With fall quickly approaching — even if Atlanta is still pushing 90 degrees — the culture? She’s thriving.

The New Yorker’s Fall Culture Preview dropped, and it’s basically the playlist, syllabus, and Pinterest board for anyone serious about staying plugged into the season’s most soul-feeding moments. And trust — Black creatives are showing up and showing out.

We’re talking:

1. Black-led dramas that deliver layered storytelling and characters who defy stereotypes.

2. Indie R&B vibes from artists like Kali Uchis, who are giving us that moody, sensual, windows-down-in-October kind of music.

3. Misty Copeland’s farewell tour — the first Black female principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre, bowing out after a career defined by grace and grit.

4. Feminist art exhibitions with Black women taking up major space on gallery walls — both literally and thematically.

Over the next four posts, we’re unpacking each of these cultural gems, one by one. Think of this as your personal guide to making the most of fall — no fluff, no filler, just the good stuff.

Because when Black creatives are not just in the room but at the helm, the season doesn’t just change — the narrative does too.
