Gracing the cover of our very special Summer of Soul issue — shot by photographer Natrice Bullard Miller of Eye27 Photography (www. natricemiller.com) — is Marcia Dore, who is no stranger to Atlanta’s soul scene.

You might have caught Dore hosting concerts at venues around town, interviewing artists like Avery Sunshine and Jaguar Wright (among many others) at the long-running 1st Hit Listening Lounge music series (at Moods Music), or working as a makeup artist for music videos (like Fonzworth Bentley’s “Everybody”). On top of that, she’s served as a runway coach for the Bailey Agency and as a spokesmodel for Groove Therapy Haircare products. And she’s got her hands in all kinds of other cool stuff.
