Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 11/5/25

Wayans will Join Hollywood Actor & Director Michael Cudlitz for Unique Event Series Kicking Off in

Downtown Atlanta on November 9, 2025

Red Phone Booth, the nationally acclaimed 1920s speakeasy concept known for its exclusive cigar program and craft cocktails, is proud to announce a special Fireside Chat with actor and comedian Marlon Wayans on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at its Downtown Atlanta location. The event celebrates the launch of Wayans’ new cigar brand, Liga Tridente, which will now be officially carried at all Red Phone Booth locations nationwide. Wayans is best known for films such as Him, Scary Movie, White Chicks and the sitcom The Wayans Bros., and his recent comedy special, Marlon Wayans: Wild Child Tour, streaming on Amazon Prime Video. 

The evening will be emceed by actor and director Michael Cudlitz, best known for his standout performances in The Walking Dead, Band of Brothers, Southland and Superman & Lois. Cudlitz is also an investor in Red Phone Booth and will guide an engaging, behind-the-scenes conversation with Wayans about his passion for cigars, entrepreneurship and entertainment. Following the Atlanta event, the Fireside Chat series will travel to additional Red Phone Booth locations across the country in the coming months.

Red Phone Booth and Liga Tridente is the perfect pairing for cigar aficionados. Red Phone Booth is renowned for its curated cigar program, extensive collection of rare spirits and prohibition-era ambiance. With locations in Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Miami and opening soon in Tampa and Durham, the concept has become a destination for cigar enthusiasts and cocktail connoisseurs alike. 

“We’re honored to partner with Marlon Wayans in launching Liga Tridente,” said Stephen de Haan, founder of Red Phone Booth. “Our guests value craftsmanship and authenticity and Liga Tridente reflects those same ideals. This collaboration brings together exceptional cigars, great storytelling and a shared appreciation for quality experiences. Red Phone Booth takes great pride in providing unique experiences like this for our patrons.”

Introducing Liga Tridente

Liga Tridente is a premium cigar brand handcrafted in Honduras and co-owned by Marlon Wayans. Though still new to the market and currently available in select stores across the U.S., Wayans plans to double its retail footprint in 2026. The brand features three distinctive blends:

  • Liga Tridente Habano – A medium to full-bodied cigar offered in three sizes, crafted with Nicaraguan wrappers and binders and fillers from Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Colombia.
  • Yasuke Maduro – Wrapped in Costa Rican leaf with a Nicaraguan binder and a blend of Costa Rican and Honduran fillers, delivering rich, balanced complexity.
  • Liga Tridente Maduro – The flagship and most premium cigar in the line, featuring Nicaraguan and Colombian tobaccos that deliver a robust, sophisticated profile.

“I wanted to create a cigar that reflects who I am: bold, balanced and rooted in good company,” said Marlon Wayans. “Liga Tridente is about connection, whether you’re celebrating, reflecting or just sharing a laugh with friends. I’m thrilled to partner with Red Phone Booth to share that experience with more people.”

Red Phone Booth remains committed to delivering world-class experiences in a luxurious, detail-driven environment. The success of this exclusive series highlights the brand’s continued dedication to blending elevated hospitality with curated cultural moments.

Limited VIP tickets are on sale to the public for this VIP experience and available to the public at RedPhoneBooth.com.

This November, Atlanta’s creative and entrepreneurial community will gather for a transformative evening at the return of Story Stage by ALIVE Collective — an immersive night of storytelling, conversation, and connection designed to spark personal and collective reinvention. Centered around the question “Who are we now?” the evening invites guests to reflect on identity and transformation in a world that’s constantly evolving—offering a space to land, reflect, and rise together. 

Hosted by Dr. Karin Luise, award-winning author, spiritual psychologist, and transformation expert, the event takes place Wednesday, Nov. 12 from 5:00–7:30 p.m. at Serendipity Labs in Buckhead. Guests will experience a welcoming champagne reception followed by a series of authentic, unscripted conversations with visionary leaders and creators who have redefined their purpose through change. 

This year’s Story Stage lineup includes: 

  • Jenny Levison, beloved Atlanta entrepreneur and owner of Souper Jenny, known for her community-focused restaurants and mission to nourish body and soul. Jenny’s story is one of continuous reinvention, creativity, and fearless authenticity — a reminder that leadership begins with heart. 
  • Femi Ola, fashion designer and founder of Ade by Femi, a bold headwear and apparel brand celebrating culture, identity, and empowerment. Femi’s journey bridges artistry and advocacy, inspiring others to own their truth through style and self-expression. 
  • Parish Hattub, spiritual coach, retreat founder, and intuitive healer, guiding others to reconnect with their inner wisdom. Her story of resilience and rediscovery offers a grounded reminder that transformation begins within. 

Together, they’ll take the Story Stage to explore themes of purpose, reinvention, and authenticity through open dialogue — not scripted speeches. Each speaker will share deeply personal journeys of creativity, courage, and rediscovery. The evening concludes with a guided reflection and “energy reset” experience led by Dr. Karin, offering guests a chance to release, recharge, and realign with their own next chapter. 

Dr. Karin has spent over two decades helping people find healing and purpose after life’s biggest shifts — from trauma and heartbreak to reinvention and renewal. A former television host and longtime columnist, her insights have been featured in Forbes, The Washington Post, CNN, and FOX, among others. Through her best-selling book “The Fatherless Daughter Project” and her acclaimed programs, she bridges the worlds of psychology, spirituality, and neuroscience to guide individuals and leaders in rediscovering their power and presence. 

“The world is full of people rebuilding their lives — after loss, after change, after success that no longer fits,” says Dr. Karin. “ALIVE Collective is a space for that reinvention. It’s about coming home to yourself and realizing you’re not doing it alone.” 

The ALIVE Collective has grown from an intimate local gathering into a movement devoted to expansion, connection, and authentic living. Each event offers a space to pause, reflect, and remember who you’re becoming — alongside a community doing the same.
