New Reality Show "WebLYFE Atlanta" Premieres!
Written By: Philip Johnson
Atlanta is the mecca for the Black LGBTQ+ community— especially when it comes to art. ATL is home to so many gay Black creatives. And thanks to the Internet and social media, people everywhere get to connect with these Atlanta creatives and their work. Brought to you by OUTPour LGBTQ Productions and Hey Mikey Productions, “WebLYFE Atlanta” is a new reality show that takes you inside the lives of 7 of Atlanta’s hottest social media celebrities. The cast includes Brandon Karson Jordan, Michael “Hey Mikey” Fanning, Lacie Doll, Chris June, Nikia “Freshie” Squire, Carl Levonzell and Phylle.
Actors. Radio Personalities. Singers. Models. Filmmakers. Directors. Only Fans. What happens when you combine this ensemble of vibrant hustlers? Both beauty and chaos! As their go-getters give us a peek into their grinds and personal lives, they waste no time letting viewers know exactly who they are and what unique perspective they bring to the collective.
WebLYFE Atlanta premiered earlier this month on December 15th, and these first few available episodes have captured my attention! From their personality-rich cast to the strength of the storytelling, WebLYFE brings viewers honest and real situations to take stances on. The producers do a great job at covering various themes throughout these first episodes: Hopeless romance, Only Fans, potential secret affairs, pitching, mixing business with friendship, etc.
I particularly loved the wedding in Episode 3. Seeing that display of Black lesbian love on screens was incredibly moving. WebLYFE Atlanta’s representation of the intersection between gay males and lesbian females is both necessary and hilarious. Lacie and Nikia help round out the group and I’m excited to see their marriage flourish!
WebLYFE Atlanta is a well-produced reality show that knows how to make you want more, while remaining authentic and real. I’m anxiously anticipating the release of Episode 4 after seeing the preview. Brandon Karson Jordan is 1 of the show’s hottest stars, and this lands him in the hot seat often as the season continues. I am rooting for him and the rest of this cast of gay Black hustlers in ATL, and you should be too! Watch WebLYFE Atlanta on YouTube today, and tell a friend!
