  • Spelman College Updates Policy to Allow Admission to Transgender Women…

    Sep, 13 2017 | Written by ATLien

    It’s official. Spelman College will become the second historically black women’s college to admit women of all identities.

    The formerly ‘all-female’ college decided last year that they would soon allow transgender females to apply for admission (click HERE if you missed that).

    Spelman has now officially updated their policy and the wording seems to imply that gender-confused men who are “living their lives as female” are welcome but not vice versa.

    AUC Students Launch #RapedByMorehouse To Bring Awareness to Sexual Assaults in the SpelHouse Community…

    May, 4 2016 | Written by ATLien

    Raped At Morehouse Protest
    Atlanta’s historically Black collegiate community is in an uproar today after a ‘silent protest’ went viral.

    The hashtag #RapedByMorehouse and #RapedAtSpelman began trending yesterday on social media after several students from Spelman College banded together to launch a silent protest on campus.

    After a self-identified Spelman student anonymously took to Twitter with a detailed account of her encounter with a Morehouse student, several of her fellow students donned caution tape on their mouths to symbolize how rape victims at the college are often silenced.

    They also carried signs bearing the words from her tweets in an effort to force Morehouse to acknowledge the alleged rape culture and make changes.

    Many Morehouse men found the hashtag extremely disrespectful to the college as a whole and are calling for social media users to name the people accountable instead of the college as a whole.

    Bill Cosby’s Wife Camille Breaks Silence + Daughter Evin Roasts Spelman’s Decision to Suspend Cosby Program…

    Camille Evin Bill Cosby - StraightFromTheA

    Bill Cosby‘s wife Camille has finally broken her silence about the recent sexual assault allegations against her husband and his daughter Evin has also publicly defended her dad.

    In a statement released by CBS News, Camille writes that her “kind,” “generous” and “funny” husband is not the person the media has painted him as in light of the recent accusations.

    Having a different story told everyday has got to be devastating for the family, but the devoted wife stands by her husband even though more than 20 woman have made allegations against him.

    [FLASHBACK: Rumor Control: Raven-Symone Never Accused Bill Cosby of Rape…]

    Camille compared the claims against her husband to the recent Rolling Stone article that detailed an alleged gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity.

    “The story was heart-breaking, but ultimately appears to be proved untrue,” Camille wrote. “Many in the media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband — until that story unwound.”

    Cosby’s daughter Evin also has a lot to say about the matter and she used her Facebook page to blast Spelman College’s decision to distance themselves from the family, who have donated millions to the Atlanta-area HBCU.

    NEWSFLASH! Nelly Blames Spelman College For His Sister’s Death… [VIDEO]

    Nelly 2

    You may recall that Nelly faced severe criticism about misogyny in his sexually explicit music video ‘Tip Drill” back in the day.

    The controversial ‘Tip Drill’ video (click HERE to watch), released in 2003, featured a slew of Atlanta area strippers and sparked protests from womens groups about its overt depiction of women as sexual objects. Nelly Tip Drill Video

    [FLASHBACK: Ruben Studdard & His ‘Tip Drill’ Bride Break Up (PHOTOS + VIDEO)]

    Nelly has expressed his frustration about a group of Spelman College protesters who boycotted his 2004 bone marrow drive, which was planned at the Atlanta area HBCU. The protestors disrupted the drive,? which was being held in support of his sister, Jacqueline Donahue, who later lost her battle to leukemia in 2005.

    [READ: Porsha Stewart and Nelly Appear on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ (PHOTOS + VIDEO)]

    The multi-platinum rapper recently spoke to Marc Lamont Hill about the incident during an appearance on HuffPost Live, where he reveals what he would’ve done differently in retrospect to the demonstration.

    The Spelman thing, the only thing I feel I would’ve did different is kick somebody’s ass…that’s just how it felt to me, Pimp.

    I don’t have my sister. And I doubt it if half of those girls are still campaigning for what they quote, unquote took advantage of that opportunity for.

        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. 👽🛸

        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?
