Montgomery’s singing career began in 1954 after she graduated high school when she began singing professionally for the Ardettes. She later sang background for Ike and Tina Turner’s “Fool in Love” in 1959. Two years later, in 1961, she joined the band as an Ikette until 1968. Montgomery didn’t join the culinary business until 1998 where she opened Sweetie Pie’s Soul Food restaurant. The restaurant that opened in 2002 was named the number-one soul food restaurant in New Orleans. Nine years later in 2011, a TV show, “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s,” about the restaurant premiered on OWN network.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
