Alone In Atlanta (AIA) - The Introduction

(By Brittany Mason) June 3, 2009 – My name is Brittany Manson. I hold a B.A. from a very prestigious HBCU, I'm well spoken, well read, and I’m alone in Atlanta.

When I say alone, I don't mean there's no one here with me. I have the best family and fabulous friends. But when I say alone I'm referring to when I have to fill out applications for various things and I have to check the box that says "single".

I've been back in Atlanta for quite some time now and it’s almost like rediscovering something I knew all of my life. And while rediscovering this familiar place commonly referred to as "the A", I’ve had the opportunity to discover something else....the dating scene of Atlanta.

From my perspective, the dating scene as a young, professional African American female may not be as exciting or risqué as some, but I think you'll definitely find some of my situations entertaining, comical, and maybe even relatable.

So I've decided to document them. For the protection of others, the names of the characters in my stories have been altered.

Again, my name is Brittany Manson. And I'm Alone in Atlanta...
