Don’t Drink The Kool-Aid, But Sip On Some Sweet Tea…

During Spry Lee Scott’s most recent visit to Atlanta, he was offered the opportunity to be a part of something great!  An industry heavy hitter, who has grown to be a great friend to Spry, had the pleasure of spending some quality time with brothers, Dr. Cornel West and Clifton West III.  Ed Garnes, of FromAfrosToShelltoes, sat down with the brothers to discuss “Sweet Tea Ethics”, growing up “West”, and Dr. West’s newest book, Brother West: Living & Loving Out Loud, A Memoir.  The hospitable staff of Barnes & Noble (Camp Creek Marketplace) welcomed an overwhelming crowd of Sweet Tea enthusiasts.

Stepping outside of his “fashion box”, Spry Lee Scott not only served as the host for the evening, but also offered his services in assembling the press; as well as organizing the crowd for the book signing. (Talk about many hats!) All in all, the event was a huge success.
