Monday morning; it's usually associated with the start of the week (and at times, the week can be slow starting). However, January 31st (2022) is memorable given the forthcoming investment in Southern Gwinnett County. During the press conference held by Congresswoman Carolyn Bourdeax (GA-7), the Centerville OneStop Shop (located at 3025 Bethany Church Road in Snellville, GA), the news of the day is one full of excitement, especially as it relates to investing in the communit

From porn to purpose: an open conversation with author, speaker, and filmmaker J. Burroughs
We all have a story. However, when it comes to some moments which are smooth as sandpaper, some shy away for sharing. However, J. Burroughs (click HERE to visit his Instagram) is not one of those people.

In fact, during our conversation

In some instances, people do fall back into familiar patterns and gradually lose sight of their goals and focus. However, the work of Dr. Kemberly E. McKenzie is about empowering people to maintain their vision, even in the heart of darkness. Her business services provided under the focus of "KEM" (Know
