Exclusive Interview: Chrisette Michele opens up about her new look, new book and new music

ATLANTA -- Chrisette Michele is coming to Atlanta’s Chastain Park this weekend (Friday May 24th) as part of the Atlanta Jazz Festival concert series and after a 18 month hiatus from the spotlight, other than a few features here and there, we’re all excited that she’s back better than ever.

I couldn’t have been more excited to catch up with her via phone. I had so much to talk about that I felt that she was that friend that I hadn’t talked to in months, but once we started chatting you felt like you picked up where you last left off.

How do you expose urban youth to Georgia’s agriculture? You open a Pizza Farm!

The Cooperative Extension Metro Collaborative of Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb and Clayton counties have invited 4th and 5th grade students to visit Pizza Farm 2013 on May 8 and 9, 2013 at the State Farmers Market Exhibit Hall located in Forest Park, GA. Attendees will learn how dairy, vegetables, grains and meats come together to make the perfect pizza, as well as about good health and nutrition.

“We are excited about the Pizza Farm!” states Menia Chester, Director of Fulton County Cooperative Extension. “Many children think their food comes from the grocery store. The Pizza Farm will teach them that every pizza starts at the farm.”

Exhibits on the origins of pizza ingredients will be presented in a circuit of stations set up around the State Farmers Market Exhibit Hall.
