Strolling through the Morehouse College campus before Saturday’s homecoming game against Clark Atlanta University, we suddenly found ourselves in the presence of royalty.
There she was, Miss Maroon and White Kera Street, a Spelman College senior from Richmond with a smile as brilliant as her tiara.
Escorting her majesty was Morehouse senior and Student Government Association president Stanley Onuoha of Boston.
Completing the retinue were first attendant Ashley Mackel, a Spelman senior from Shaker Heights, Ohio, escorted by Morehouse senior Ryan Shepard of Los Angeles; and second attendant Victoria Beeks, a Spelman senior from St. Louis, escorted by Terron Ferguson, a Morehouse senior from Miami.
After chatting for a few minutes, the charming homecoming queen asked “Do you mind if I fix these?” and straightened S.B.’s pearls — the clasp had worked its way forward. Y’all, this gracious young lady was raised right.

The Green Scene
Eco-fabulous Laura Turner Seydel joined Pike Family Nurseries founder William Pike for the opening of Pike’s new Lindbergh location on Sept. 29. Pike donated 10 percent of opening day sales to the Captain Planet Foundation, which Seydel serves as chairman and president.
The Lindbergh Pike store uses an underground water retention system and permeable surfaces such as concrete paths and gravel beds to limit the use of asphalt — seeing how we’re about out of H2O in North Georgia.
On Oct. 16, Seydel and husband Rutherford hosted a luncheon for CARE, the global humanitarian organization, at their home, Eco Manor.
Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck prepared an elegant organic meal beginning with sweet corn basil “cappuccino,” a Maine lobster salad, miso soy glazed butterfish, slow roasted organic chicken and a refreshing organic fruit tart.
Barbara Roos oversaw the decor, including a verdant grass table runner.
The guest list included Beth Gluck, Steve Hollingworth, Phil Mazzara, and Theresa Rhodes with CARE; Ted Turner, the hostess’s father, with Elizabeth Dewberry; hip hop producer Dallas Austin; and

I’m all for saving the planet but how exactly does Captain Planet founders serve Main Lobster and Butterfish, both are native to Maine and North Carolina/South Carolina waters, which means they had to be TRANSPORTED, using LOTS of gas and completely going against the eating local/slow food movement the Eco Manor espouses?
Also, while Wolfgang does have a restaurant and catering company here in Atlanta, I doubt his air travel and truck gas consumption along with all of the WATER needed to clean up such a large event jive with the Eco Manor.
I would love a more detailed explanation of how they accomplished that?
