Usher’s New Look gears up for upcoming youth summit; Jermaine Dupri reflects on decades-long music career; Former Chattahoochee riverkeeper discusses new memoir


Listen Later

Careshia Moore, the president and CEO of Usher’s New Look, discusses the organization’s work of transforming the lives of under-resourced youth by preparing them to be the next generation of leaders. Moore and Xehara Pledger, a student at Westlake High School and the 2023 Atlanta Disruptivator of the Year Awardee, also discuss the nonprofit’s upcoming Disruptivator Summit, which starts on Wednesday.

We revisit Rose’s conversation with Jermaine Dupri. The veteran music executive producer and artist discusses his career journey, launching So So Def Recordings and his passion for music and developing talent.

 

Plus, part of the Chattahoochee River is currently closed for recreation because of pollution from a Fulton County sewage treatment plant. Molly Samuel, WABE’s deputy managing editor, talks with Sally Bethea, a retired Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, about her new book, “Keeping the Chattahoochee.”
