Gospel and R&B powerhouse Le’Andria Johnson is set to light up Atlanta’s City Winery on Friday, October 10, with two back-to-back sold-out performances. Fans will first gather for her 6:30 p.m. set, followed by an encore at 10 p.m.

Johnson, best known as the season three winner of BET’s gospel competition Sunday Best, has built a celebrated career that bridges the worlds of gospel and soul. Her victory song, “I Shall Leap into My Destiny”—which she co-wrote—debuted at number one on the Billboard Gospel chart, solidifying her as a force in the industry.

On Saturday, September 27, men from across the tri-state area gathered at Fount Studios in New York for the inaugural Why Men Wait seminar. Led by Cellus Hamilton, the event brought together men for two impactful hours of teaching and reflection. The focus was on understanding God’s heart for purity and how embracing it can move both individual lives and communities forward.

The seminar’s success sparked momentum for expansion. Hamilton has now opened the door for churches to partner with him in bringing Why Men Wait to their own congregations. Those interested in hosting the campaign are encouraged to connect with Cellus Hamilton through his official website.
