Doing good, but doing it greater...

Elegance and excellence. Since its inception in 2023, #AnElegantEveningOfJazz provides the Metro-Atlanta community an opportunity to enjoy top-notch jazz artists in one of the top venues in the area, networking opportunities, and support for Clayton County High School music programs (among other entities). The concert is clearly a signature event via the work of Dr. Shenita Connally. Through #LifeWithShenita and its key programming arm, #LifeAfterTheRain, support opportuniti

The future is here. This is more than a standard catchphrase regarding the movement within society and life. The recently completed Ent-Tech Innovation and Discovery Expo (September 30-October 4, 2026) provides a look at current trends and possibilities for the future, especially when it comes to immerging audiences within technology, film, art, and culture. With representation across more than 40 countries, we're able to be a part of an intimate setting and event the first

The arts provide a means of creativity when it comes to thinking and compiling works of impact, including on those who partake of them and the audiences reached. When it comes to the efforts of Dr. Shenita Connally and her work via #LifeWithShenita, it takes on an even stronger meaning. This year marks the 10th year of her work via her aforementioned entity, as it provides programming and access to resources for widows and widowers. As an extension from her life experience (

A number of people have likely heard the phrase "health is wealth". Be it physical, emotional, or spiritual, when one's health is in order, so can so many other aspects of our day-to-day existence. However, there are some serious health hurdles which impact our existence, and among them is Sickle Cell (which does not always get the attention or resources allocated relative to other health challenges). However, one such entity who uses their platform to build awareness and s

When we last spoke with Anthony Page (click HERE to read our article), he's just coming off the launch of the ALMA Film Festival. With a successful endeavor in the Dominican Republic (and a return March 12-21, 2027), there's plenty to build upon as it makes its impact in the creative arts and beyond. And speaking of, Atlanta is the site for the upcoming installment of the series (September 30-October 4, 2026). Our follow up conversation with Mr. Page not only sheds light on

When substance is your style, it remains relevant. An example of this is the work of Missouri, the creative leader behind Styletainment, along with the groundbreaking work they are doing in fashion, the creative and performing arts, the celebration of women who are breast cancer survivors, and with the efforts behind A Place Called Love, a means of enhanced advocacy for women who are living with and through breast cancer while battling homelessness. During our recent conversa

Wisdom builds a home, but understanding finishes it. This sentiment is shared during our interview with Cheryl Taylor. The Trinidad and Tobago native and Tri-State (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) resident notes this as a by-product of conversation with her mentor. It helps to use and apply the information at hand accordingly. And in this spirit. she does so as a presence in media and with her evolving and expanding her reach as a published author. Via her current me

It's summer, and that means time outdoors enjoying an event or two. Even with the World Cup in town among other events, people still need a space to eat and greet, along with enjoying some cultural sights and sounds. Among those taking place, Underground Atlanta is the space and place for another edition of the Seafood & Caribbean Festival. Yesterday's all-day and mid-evening event (June 27, 2026 from 1-10pm EST) provides a central space for those enjoying some time in downt

Delivering the message. Ranging from the media to the mail to a call or a conversation, a central concept is delivering the message. And in doing so in a creative, consistent, and sincere fashion, it can be the bridge-building and mind-shaping measure needed from building awareness to instilling confidence and so much more. And this is what Dwayne Stovall is all about. The Montgomery, AL native and Alabama A&M University alumnus has a 10-plus year track record of innovation

As we get into the month of June, it's typically a month of movement; the weather is warmer, people are more apt to taking advantage of outdoor activities, and when you mix in some networking with some gameplay, it can set the stage for a sound summer activity. And when you add an invitation to the Divine 9 to the mix, it can provide a more enriching experience. Each month, Zubi's Taco Kitchen hosts their Southside Game Night event. The series is presented by the Shar Bates
