Doing good, but doing it greater...

It is a challenge to have unity without community. However, from a historical and contemporary standpoint, HBCU's (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) are more than up to the challenge given their ongoing legacy of being a unifying presence within the immediate and greater community. Coinciding with this includes the efforts of the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) in providing support and access opportunities for students and their member institutions, opportunitie

Sunsets and rooftops are among the sights and scenes associated with the summer. And in the case of the North Fulton Alphas, their upcoming event captures this sophisticated setting and so much more. From their initial coming together on July 17, 2021 to the receipt of their formal charter on September 28, 2024, as one of the newer graduate chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the members of the North Fulton Alphas are making their presence felt in their service are

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

The month of June is important, and not just due to it being the official start of summer and other events. With it being Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, a number of community and civic entities are hosting events as a way to not only have conversations on the importance of this health issue, but providing access to support and related resources for those in need. Of the events taking place this month, the upcoming health and wellness event via the Mayor's Office of Co

Health is wealth. This catchphrase is gaining traction as there's a growing awareness for the importance of one's health. And while there's an awareness regarding one's physical health, there's a growing understanding of the importance and relevance of one's mental health, especially when it comes to men. While mental health is important all year-round, the month of June takes on added importance as it's Men's Mental Health Month. Of a number of events taking place througho

At a time where the political landscape is relatively questionable, one of the entities who feels the brunt of said activity is the actual consumer. Along with well documented concerns related to transportation (in the form of gas prices being about 40% higher than this time in 2025 - you may click HERE to learn more), protecting the consumer (and general public) is a clear and present issue. Last fall (click HERE to read our article from the September 15, 2025 community eng

The weekend of June 20-21, 2026 is meaningful given it's part of the celebration of the Junteenth holiday along with leading into the official (per the actual calendar) start of summer. For Life After the Rain via Shenita Connally and those supported by the organization's efforts, the weekend means something else (in a good way). It's a weekend to not only build on the programming and access to resources provides for those who are widows, widowers, and their supporters, but

In a certain book of a highly religious nature, there's a phrase which reads "Faith without works is dead". Prayer is where it starts, but the work, passion, and purpose to positively position the greater good is what gets you there. And one such steward who his using his creative gifts and talents to such an end is PT The Gospel Spitter. We recently sat down with the faith creative as he shares his story, which includes a new chapter to say the least. In opening up about h

Being driven by the Spirit (and an occasional "sprinkling" of some spirit for the 21 and older audience) and having a coming together of culture-centered and driven conversations. On top of that, provide enough of a mix of a little game-play while being all about intentional and transformative. Who exactly does that? Look no further than the creative media undertaking of Misty Reign (The Spiritual Attorney) and Christian Nicole (The Intuitive Development Coach). Already res

Critical and vital typically draws to mind a meaning of an emergency or something which is absolutely necessary. Given the current landscape, when it comes to areas of concern related to immigration law (and law in general), there's a clear need for those in the profession to be purpose-led and filled, having a tremendous acumen within their chosen fields, and showing a level of commitment and integrity given the nature of the day.
