Frances Valentine and SCAD Celebrate Mary Tyler Moore’s Legacy With “The Mary Experience” in Atlanta
September 25, 2026
10:00 AM - 05:00 PM
1611 W. Peachtree St., Atlanta, Atlanta, GA 30309, USA
Description
Step into the world of Mary Tyler Moore. Presented by Frances Valentine, The Mary Experience is an interactive, museum-style exhibit hosted at SCAD Film Studios in Atlanta, created to welcome the public into Mary's story, celebrate her enduring legacy, and spotlight the values she championed both on screen and off. The Mary Experience” will also offer an exclusive first look at the upcoming Frances Valentine x Mary Tyler Moore collection. Inspired by Moore’s unforgettable on-screen wardrobe and personal style, the collection will also carry her legacy of advocacy forward, with 20% of net proceeds benefiting the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative.
Created in partnership with the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, the exhibit brings together rarely seen artifacts, immersive experiences, and personal stories that trace Mary's journey from television icon to trailblazer to advocate. Guests can expect to get up close with original memorabilia from Mary's career — including her Tam O'Shanter, on public display for the very first time, alongside her Emmy and Tony awards, original scripts with her handwritten notes, and iconic wardrobe pieces recreated from her most memorable roles. Beyond the artifacts, the exhibit tells the story of Mary's impact: how she helped redefine the American working woman on screen, and the generation of women she inspired to pursue their own careers and break their own barriers.
The experience also shines a light on Mary's lifelong advocacy for people living with Type 1 diabetes, and on the work being carried forward in her name today. After her passing, Mary's husband, Dr. S. Robert Levine, founded the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative to continue her fight — advancing research toward a world without vision loss and blindness from diabetes. Guests will learn about the Initiative's current work and the real progress being made in Mary's name.

How Bright the Path Grows: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the March on Washington -- Marcia Chatelain in conversation with Sherie M. Randolph
September 30, 2026
06:30 PM
101 Auburn Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30303
Description
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is encouraged. Register here. This event takes place at the Auburn Avenue Research Library, 101 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30303. Doors open at 6pm. Event begins promptly at 6:30pm.
Charis and the Auburn Avenue Research Library welcome Marcia Chatelain in conversation with Sherie M. Randolph for a celebration of How Bright the Path Grows: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the March on Washington. From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Franchise comes the little-known story of the pioneering Black women artists and activists who were seen, but barely heard, at the 1963 March on Washington.
There is no shortage of footage immortalizing the men who spoke at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, when 250,000 Americans gathered beneath the Lincoln Memorial to call for an end to segregation. There were reverends and rabbis, activists and Rat-Pack icons—and of course the day's headliner, whose prophetic dream of a post-Jim Crow world has forever defined the Civil Rights Movement. But there is no “class photo” of the Black women who helped organize the march, performed on its main stage, or were honored during its “Tribute to Negro Women Fighters for Freedom.”
In How Bright the Path Grows, Marcia Chatelain weaves a gleaming group portrait of these singular women. Among this cohort were several household names: vaudeville icon Josephine Baker; civil rights activist Rosa Parks gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, and Daisy Bates, champion of the Little Rock Nine. But many were relative unknowns, including Eva Jessye, the choir director who designed the day’s musical program, and Anna Hedgeman, the coordinator who pushed in the eleventh hour for a tribute to Black women’s work.
How Bright the Path Grows is a scintillating group biography, rendering the lives of thirteen Black women visionaries—some famous, others soon to be—in novelistic detail and like never seen before.

She is the author of South Side Girls and Franchise, which won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in History, the James Beard Foundation Book Award for Writing, the Hagley Prize for Business History, and the Lawrence W.

The W: A History of the WNBA -- Tamryn Spruill in conversation with Gavin Godfrey
September 30, 2026
07:30 PM
Atlanta, GA
Description
This event takes place on Crowdcast, Charis' virtual event platform. This event is free, but registration is required. Register here.
Charis welcomes Tamryn Spruill in conversation with Gavin Godfrey for a celebration of The W: A History of the WNBA: How the WNBA Survived, Evolved, and Changed Professional Sports, a raucous roller-coaster history of the WNBA.
The history of the WNBA is an epic one, and in The W, journalist Tamryn Spruill tells the full thrilling story. This is a three-decade tale of tenacious athletes, devoted fans, and a vibrant, diverse league that struggled for years to find a firm footing in the wider sports culture.
When the WNBA launched to much fanfare in 1996, the nascent league was treated like a kid sister with a lot of potential. Eight teams collectively owned by the NBA played a short schedule during the men’s offseason. Fans flocked to arenas to see stars Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, and Rebecca Lobo, and the Houston Comets won their first of four consecutive championships.
But television broadcasts were hard to find, the conversation around the league was often blatantly sexist, and less than a decade after their “four peat,” the dynastic Comets had been disbanded and ceased to exist.
Social media helped players upend that dynamic, be their authentic selves, and engender change inside the league and beyond it. College stars became pros, legends broke records, and the women of the WNBA became undeniable. Thirty years after its founding, the time has more than come for this comprehensive account of the league, and the women whose drive, on-court and off, built the W.

Atlanta Business League's Super Tuesday Conference & Women of Vision Breakfast
October 20, 2026
08:00 AM
265 Peachtree Center Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, USA
Description
The Super Tuesday Conference was designed to host business owners, professional women,men, and students throughout the metro Atlanta community.
The Women of Vision Breakfast has long honored female business owners, professionals, and community and civic leaders throughout Metropolitan Atlanta. In 1994, the Atlanta Business League (ABL) published its inaugural list of "Atlanta's Top 100 Women of Influence." The list names women in the metro Atlanta community who have reached senior-level positions, are leading entrepreneurs in their industry, or have attained the ability to influence large public bodies politically and in government. In addition to their professional accomplishments, the "100 Women of Influence" have demonstrated their commitment to Metro Atlanta's citizenry by maintaining significant involvement in community and civic activities.
This year's Super Tuesday Conference theme reflects the spirit of resilience, innovation, and forward momentum. In a rapidly changing business and economic landscape, leaders must be prepared to anticipate new challenges, seize emerging opportunities, and chart bold paths for growth.
"One Great Day: Ready For What's Next" is more than a theme—it's a call to action. Super Tuesday 2026 will inspire attendees to:
Embrace the future of business with strategies and insights from top thought leaders.
Prepare for new opportunities in innovation, policy, and community impact.
Strengthen networks that drive collaboration, growth, and sustainability.
Together, we'll celebrate the achievements of today's leaders while equipping one another to face tomorrow with confidence and vision.
