This past weekend, Snubb3d Magazine delivered one of Atlanta’s most talked-about cultural gatherings with The SitDown Live ATL Panel + Mixer, held at Lens Head Studios. Far more than just an industry event, the evening combined conversation, entertainment, and elevated networking to create an atmosphere that attendees described as “unmatched.” It was the type of cultural spark Atlanta has been waiting for—and one that set the tone for what’s to come in 2026.
From the moment guests arrived, Lens Head Studios was transformed into a vibrant, cinematic set, boldly stamped with Snubb3d’s signature branding. The evening opened with sounds by DJ Magik Mic, whose playlist carried just the right rhythm for mingling and meaningful connection. Celebrity Chef Tonisha J elevated the culinary experience with a signature grazing table accented by a cascading waterfall centerpiece. The cocktail station, where smoke floated theatrically above each glass, gave the mixer an upscale lounge appeal that blended elegance with creativity.
The “green carpet” buzzed with flashbulbs and cameras as VH1’s Black Ink Crew: Chicago star Don Brumfield Jr. hosted arrivals alongside Atlanta’s elite media correspondents. Guests moved seamlessly from the carpet to the studio floor, which had been reimagined into an intimate stage for conversation, creativity, and culture. By the time the panel began, the space radiated Snubb3d’s commitment to craft, excellence, and unforgettable experiences.
The SitDown Live panel featured a powerful lineup of voices from across entertainment and media. Panelists included celebrity creative director Chanan Kennedy, actress Kron Moore (Tyler Perry’s The Oval, CW Stargirl), actor Maurice P. Kerry (Beyond the Gates, Law & Order), Snubb3d’s Editor-in-Chief and creative force Levar “Ramzie” Kemp, actor Pierre V. Johnson (BET+ Divorced Sistas), and Billboard chart-topping singer-songwriter J. Brown. Moderated by journalist Jeroslyn Jovonn (Black Enterprise) and media personality Peptalk Tae, the conversation blended professional insight with authentic storytelling.
Guests praised the panel for striking a balance between entertainment, education, and empowerment. The discussion touched on themes of creativity, resilience, and legacy—offering real-life lessons and relatable experiences for entrepreneurs and emerging talent in the room. Attendees left with not just industry knowledge, but also the sense that they were part of a growing movement.
“This wasn’t just an event; it was a movement,” said Levar “Ramzie” Kemp, Editor-in-Chief of Snubb3d Magazine. “We built a space for creatives, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to connect on a deeper level—and this is only the start.”
The mixer’s energy confirmed that The SitDown Live is poised to become a defining cultural series. While the official tour is slated to launch in March 2026, there’s already buzz that the platform may return to Atlanta for a special Anniversary Weekend Edition, scheduled for November 14–16, 2025.
More than a panel, the night functioned as a blueprint for the future of creative networking—an environment where artistry, business, and community intersect seamlessly. Guests were immersed in an evening of music, laughter, and meaningful dialogue that went beyond surface-level interaction. With every detail—from the lush visuals to the carefully curated experience—Snubb3d Magazine reinforced its reputation as a leader in culture and conversation.
As the lights dimmed and the final words of the panel echoed through the studio, it was clear that attendees hadn’t just witnessed another mixer. They had been part of a cultural milestone in Atlanta—one that bridged inspiration with innovation, and left the city buzzing with anticipation for what’s next.
The SitDown Live ATL Panel + Mixer was proof that when creativity, culture, and connection converge, the result is nothing short of transformative. And for Snubb3d Magazine, this is only the beginning.
