Atlanta, GA – Sundiata Rush, a local community builder, brand strategist, and storyteller, is working to uplift culture and engagement in downtown Atlanta through the creative project Tales of Downtown Atlanta (TODA). The project aims to highlight authentic traits of Atlanta’s past through stories and narratives that inform listeners about how modern Atlanta came to be. This fellowship will allow TODA to collect an album of stories that connect Atlanta’s past, present, and future through spirit, places, and happenings that both define and express the city’s ethos. History, mystery, and whimsy all collide in a colorful collection of tales amplified through art. Current collaborators include AR Shaw, Theresa Davis, Jose Awo, Mark Kendall, Rohit Maholtra, Dan Flores, and Maria Saporta, among others. TODA’s website can be found here.
