    Another day, another Atlanta reality show premieres.

    So far, we’ve got The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Big Rich Atlanta, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, Bad Girls Club Atlanta… the list goes on and on.

    Now add Married to Medicine to the growing list of Atlanta reality shows to watch.funny-gif-black-guy-reaction

    Married to Medicine, Bravo TV’s latest female-centric docu-drama, follows the lives of six Atlanta women who are either doctors themselves (i.e. OBGYN Jacqueline Walters and her former business partner Simone Whitmore), or married to one (Mariah Huq and Toya Bush-Harris are married to ER doctors, Quad Lunceford’s new husband is a psychiatrist and Kari Wells’ husband is a surgeon).

    The show features these “dynamic and successful” women as they juggle the roles of wives, mothers and socialites.

    Watch sneak peek video of Married to Medicine (episode 1) + meet the cast below…

    Meet the cast:

    Jaqueline Walters SFTA 3Jacqueline Walters is the doctor to stars like Toni Braxton, T.I., and Usher.

    This Board-certified OBGYN lives by the philosophy ?work hard, play hard.? After graduating medical school at the University of Mississippi, Jacqueline completed her residency at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. As a two-time breast cancer survivor, Jackie has a positive and vibrant attitude toward life.? Her dedication to work and family sets this bombshell in motion at all times.

    Her husband, Curtis, and daughter by marriage, Kursten have to get up early in the morning to catch this career-driven diva — which by her definition stands for ?Dedicated, Innovative, Victorious, Admirable.? Her ?Thin is In? motto comes with a hint of vanity and sometimes pure obsession with eating healthy and excessive exercise. Between furthering her OBGYN practice, fostering a happy family life, and advocating for breast cancer awareness, many wonder how Jackie has time to balance it all.

    Kari Wells SFTA 1Kari Wells, a well-mannered, British-born model skillfully balances work, play, and family life in Atlanta with her husband of 10 years, Colombian raised, orthopedic surgeon Duncan Wells.

    Kari has had many successful careers including owning a production company. Today, she serves as CFO of her husband?s orthopedic practice and medical realty company, but her most important role is as mother to their two children, Alexa, 8, and Bryson, 7.

    In addition to her various commitments, Kari is involved socially and politically in Atlanta and can frequently be seen hobnobbing with celebrities and politicians. The couple supports many charitable organizations including Doctors Without Borders?and Thriving Children Atlanta.

    Known for their international flair, the Wells family loves to travel, and Kari, who speaks four languages, lives by the philosophy “you cannot have a narrow mind with a thick passport.” Kari?s dogged determination to succeed, sense of humor and spirituality help her to live life to the fullest.

    Mariah Huq Cast Photo 1Mariah Huq, “Queen Bee” and sophisticated and fierce mother of two, brings a new definition to the term “working mom.”

    Enjoying a strong, multicultural marriage to Dr. Aydin Huq, an emergency physician and native of Bangladesh, Mariah juggles family and career with their two children, Lauren-Taylor, 8, and Ethan-Tyler, 6.

    Mariah openly embraces her husband’s culture by attending Mosque, learning to cook traditional Indian food and studying Bengali. The founder/CEO of Mariah Media Group, troop leader of her daughter’s Girl Scout Troop, and a producer of Married to Medicine, Mariah has a full life.mariah huq

    To top it off, Mariah is working on her latest venture, the Chief Operating Officer of Jewel and Jem, a children’s d?cor and pajama company, she runs with her sister, Lake.

    When she’s not busy in the states, Mariah and her family support their family foundation in Bangladesh and are currently working on building a hospital in name of her late father-in-law.

    Quad SFTA 2Known as the “Black Barbie” in her social circle, Quad Lunceford is the life of the party and a self-acknowledged socialite. She is newly wed to psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Lunceford, whose reserved demeanor often clashes with her unpredictable feistiness their love blossomed into a bond that will stand the test of time.

    Their personality differences may be connected to their gap in age — he is 13 years her senior, as she prefers it. The couple is the proud parents of two pampered pooches: Khloe and Kar’ie. In addition to being enthusiastic supporters of the Canine Assistants Foundation, the Luncefords also volunteer their time and efforts with various charities and organizations throughout Atlanta.

    When Quad enrolled in Tennessee State University, she was the first in her family to attend college. With more than a decade of experience in medical sales under her belt, Quad’s work ethic has landed her in the top 10 percent in her industry. Quad, who dances to the beat of her own drum, often says “I did not ‘marry medicine,’ medicine was lucky enough to marry me.”

    Simone Whitmore SFTA 4Simone Whitmore is an independent OBGYN who runs both her practice and house with an iron fist. She and her more laid-back husband of 16 years, Cecil Whitmore, have two sons, Miles, 14, and Michael, 10.

    Simone graduated from Spelman College with a degree in biology/pre-medicine and earned her doctorate from East Tennessee State University. She completed her residency at Boston Medical Center and became a Board Certified OBGYN in 1999. From 1999 to 2004, Simone worked in various practices including Duncan-Cody Medical Group, Arista OBGYN and Castillo, Walters and Whitmore. She has owned?North Perimeter OBGYN?since 2004 and is a solo practitioner, allowing her to make her own rules.

    While her staff may call her “The Warden? and ?Witchmore,? Simone simply likes hard workers and refuses to settle for mediocrity. Simone is a member of the?American College of OBGYN and the American Board of OBGYN. In her spare time, Simone participates in a mentor program with Spelman College and a local high school. When her packed schedule allows, Simone loves to shop, socialize, travel, and catch up on much-needed sleep.

    Toya Bush-Harris SFTA 2Toya Bush-Harris, met her husband, emergency medicine physician Eugene Harris, during a speed dating event five years ago while pursuing her Masters in education from the University of Phoenix and working two jobs. Even though Eugene was completing a rigorous medical residency at the same time, no amount of distractions could keep this dynamic couple apart.

    In addition to being a busy mom to boys Ashton, 3, and Avery, 1, Toya is helping to launch her husband?s medical concierge business and working on publishing a children?s nursery book series.

    On top of family commitments and career projects, Toya and her family are in the process of building a home conducive to their growing family. When she first moved to Atlanta, Toya joined Mocha Moms, which brings moms together in the community to promote healthy families and she currently enjoys volunteering at her church and mentoring young women in area.

    You may notice that this newest franchise eerily resembles RHOA season 1. The franchise is merely a new spin on an old concept and comes complete with a “Nene-like” character who loves her some drag queens and what appears to be a ‘Kim Zolciak-like” token White chick.

    The verdict is out on how similar this newest ATL show will be to RHOA, but from Andy Cohen’s excitement about “Black Barbie” and her ‘drag queen’ euphemisms, I’m sure it will be just as entertaining.

    Married to Medicine premieres Sunday, March 24th.

    Will you be tuning in or is it too much of the same dayum thang?

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

        🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still clo 🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still closed as of today *Nov 7, 2025! 

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
