SUMMARY:💗 Pink Skies Set to Take Over Birmingham Rooftop as the AKA South Eastern Regional Conference Winds Down (May 2)
DESCRIPTION:Thousands of women from Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority\, Inc. will gather in Birmingham for the 94th South Eastern Regional Conference\, scheduled for April 29 through May 2\, 2026. The conference will welcome members from across AKA’s South Eastern Region—Alabama\, Mississippi\, and Tennessee—with attendance expected to reach into the thousands as sorority sisters from across the three-state region arrive in the Magic City for several days of sisterhood\, service\, and celebration. \nAs conferences like this one visit the area attendees are often looking for ways to unwind after full days of programming. Pink Skies\, hosted by Phaith “DJ Chocolate” Frazier\, is one of those experiences. \nPositioned as an unofficial nightcap for conference attendees\, Pink Skies is open not only to sorority members but to anyone seeking a night filled with good music and elevated energy at one of the city’s signature rooftop atmospheres. DJ Chocolate\, a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority\, Inc.\, will also be in the mix throughout the weekend\, performing at several official regional conference events. \n \nA Soundtrack for the Moment \nAt the heart of the night is Nadia Tellis\, a talented vocalist known for her soulful sound and dynamic live performances across Alabama. Her ability to blend R&B\, soul\, and contemporary hits makes her the perfect complement to the evening’s aesthetic. \nWhile Nadia delivers the live entertainment\, DJ Chocolate will do what she does best—set the tone. Known for her ability to read a room and build an experience\, she’s curating a musical journey that moves seamlessly from smooth grooves to high-energy favorites. \nPowered by Women of AKA \nOne of the most unique elements of Pink Skies is the foundation behind it. \nThe event is powered by a collective of women—all members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority\, Inc.—bringing their talents together to create something intentional and elevated: \n\nPhaith “DJ Chocolate” Frazier – Founder of Grown and Greek® and the Grown and Greek Podcast\, DJ Chocolate is the architect of the event and will set the vibe for the night.\nNadia Tellis – A multi-talented creative working across the entertainment and fashion industries as a makeup artist and live performer\, Nadia—along with her band—will deliver the perfect show for a nightcap experience.\nBernadine Birdsong – Owner of Michael’s Restaurant and Bar Sebastian\, adds exceptional hospitality rooted in Birmingham excellence.\nMarika N. Johnson – Award-winning photojournalist and creator of Musically Speaking\, a popular event-based photography platform\, Marika will be on site capturing the night through still imagery.\n\nIn addition\, a strong host committee made up of sorority members is helping bring the vision to life\, ensuring the event reflects both the culture and the moment. \nDivine Nine Energy on the Rooftop \nPink Skies will also bring together members from across the Divine Nine\, with local fraternity members expected to be in attendance. It’s a cross-organizational celebration—one rooted in connection\, culture\, and community. \nAdding to the night’s energy\, B’Ham Men’s Fashion Week visionary Mr. Perry Varner is also expected to be in attendance\, along with models\, patrons\, and special invited guests\, following his Saturday night fashion event at WorkPlay. Their presence will bring an additional layer of style and cultural influence to the Pink Skies experience.

The specialty cocktails will feature Corazón Tequila with creations like the Pink Skies Paloma\, Velvet Sky Margarita\, and Runway Rosé Spritz. The cocktail lineup not only complements the rooftop aesthetic but also adds a refined\, celebratory touch to the evening’s overall vibe. \nPrelude to Vegas \nPink Skies also carries a bigger energy. \nThe event is being billed as a “Prelude to Vegas\,” as many regional attendees prepare to travel to Las Vegas later this summer for the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority\, Inc. Boule—the organization’s international conference. That forward-looking energy adds another layer to the night. \n“This isn’t just the end of a weekend—it’s the beginning of what’s next\,” says DJ Chocolate. “As we look ahead to Las Vegas\, I wanted to create something here that not only caters to my sorority sisters but also embraces the community at large. I believe Pink Skies will be the perfect send-off as we prepare for Boule later this summer.” \nDJ Chocolate will carry that same energy west\, performing in Las Vegas as she teams up with sorority members from Houston and Las Vegas for another signature event. \nThe Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Day Party is set for Sunday\, July 19\, 2026\, from 4 PM to 10 PM at Medusa Nightclub\, located at 3355 S.

SUMMARY:Love\, Laughter & Legacy: Alvin Garrett Brings a Soulful Mother’s Day Experience to Birmingham (May 10)
DESCRIPTION:BIRMINGHAM\, AL — If you’re looking for the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day this year\, Alvin Garrett is bringing something special to the Magic City. \nOn Sunday\, May 10\, the historic Carver Theatre will set the stage for “Laughter\, Love & Legacy: A Mother’s Day Celebration”—a one-of-a-kind experience blending live music\, comedy\, and heartfelt moments designed to honor the women who raised us. \nFor Garrett\, this isn’t just another show—it’s personal. \nA Homecoming with Purpose \n“I’m currently promoting a new album entitled Talk To Her Like This\, and this event is the perfect homecoming for my promotional tour\,” Garrett shared. \nThe project centers around love and uplifting women\, making Mother’s Day the ideal backdrop. \n“Why not bring it home on the holiday that we celebrate our mothers and talk to ‘them’ like this…or shall I say sing to them.” \n \nMore Than a Concert — It’s an Experience \nGarrett is intentional about the energy he brings to the stage\, and this show will be no different. \n“When I perform\, I always infuse love and laughter into my shows\,” he said. \nThat balance is key—especially on a day that can carry a range of emotions. \n“Mother’s Day may be a heavy emotional day for some; and I want this experience to be one that puts a smile on everyone’s face as we give flowers to the mothers that are with us and to those that are watching over us.” \n The Carver Theatre Connection \nReturning to the Carver Theatre adds another layer of meaning. \n“About 10 years ago\, I promoted ‘Christmas with The Cats’ at The Carver and it was one of my favorite venues\,” Garrett reflected. \nHe describes the venue as the perfect mix of intimacy and production value—ideal for the type of connection he wants with the audience. \n“I’m hoping this can be the start of a new tradition in Birmingham.” \nBeyond the nostalgia\, the Carver Theatre is experiencing a fresh wave of energy thanks to its recent renovations—earning praise from patrons\, promoters\, and even national touring artists. The upgraded auditorium now features a state-of-the-art audio/visual system\, delivering an immersive experience through enhanced sound\, projection\, and media control capabilities. The redesigned foyer offers a welcoming reception and bar area perfect for pre-show vibes and post-show conversations. Add in the jazz museum on the second floor\, and the Carver has reestablished itself as more than just a historic landmark—it’s a modern\, multi-experience venue built for everything from intimate concerts to full-scale productions. \nA Curated Lineup with Rising Talent \nJoining Garrett on stage are Yoshihanaa and DJ Wright\, both artists he’s actively working with behind the scenes. \n“I wanted to present artists that I am currently producing original music with as well\,” he said. \nFans can even expect to hear brand-new music\, including “Fall In Love Again\,” a record Garrett co-wrote and produced. \n \nHonoring Legacy Through Music \nThe heart of the show is right there in the title—Legacy. \n“Legacy has a soundtrack\,” Garrett explained\, pointing to the timeless influence of artists like Al Green. \nHe’s also planning a special tribute during the show\, including a performance of his song “Flowers\,” designed to honor both present and past mothers. \n“Love and laughter is the key to gracefully embracing the legacy of our mothers.” \nA Message Rooted in Joy \nGarrett credits much of his outlook—and his music—to his own mother. \n“She always taught me to approach life with joy and laughter\,” he said. \nThat message is something he carries into every performance. \n“I try to spread joy and inspiration with my music and my life…even during difficult times.” \n \nWhy You Don’t Want to Miss This \nIf you’ve never experienced Alvin Garrett live\, this is the show to start with. \n“I’ve built a legacy in Birmingham of presenting shows with a high level of professionalism and production quality\,” he said. \nBut this one hits different. \n“I just want to show my gratitude with a performance that everyone can be proud of…especially our mothers.” \nWhat’s Next \nThis Mother’s Day concert is just the beginning. \n“This will be the kickoff show for my ‘Talk To Her Like This’ tour\,” Garrett revealed. \nThe tour will include full-band performances\, media appearances\, and stops across multiple cities as he continues to push his latest album. \n Event Details \nLaughter\, Love & Legacy: A Mother’s Day Celebration\n📅 Sunday\, May 10\n🕔 Doors: 5PM | Show: 6PM\n📍 Carver Theatre – Birmingham\, AL\n🎟️ Tickets: JazzHall.com \n \nStay Connected \nFollow Alvin Garrett for updates: \n\nInstagram / Facebook / TikTok: @thealvingarrett\nWebsite: AlvinGarrett.com
