Doing good, but doing it greater...

Comic books. Be it youth or adults, this visual style of writing is one which allows readers to imagine, engage, and explore multiple concepts and topics which to carrying degrees, are a reflection of our creativity, imagination, and day-to-day experiences. This weekend (October 31-November 1, 2026) at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta NE in Norcross, GA (6050 Peachtree Industrial Blvd), the larger comic book community and larger community have an opportunity to connect with fellow fa

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

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

There's no place like being in the Winner's Circle. This is a key part of the mission and mantra of the Alphas of Atlanta, a 501c3 (nonprofit) comprised of members of the Metro-Atlanta graduate chapters. Since its inception in 2015, the #AlphaDerbyWeekend, which is their Kentucky Derby themed signature event, evolves with its programming and reach. From its inception as a 2-day event (2015-16) to a 3-day event (2017) and beyond, including this year's event (as it marks thei

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

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

June 8, 2026 is seemingly like any other summer day in Metro-Atlanta, other than the temperature being a little more moderate to compliment the rain and humidity. As we travel along to our destination, our initial goal is to catch up with the Atlanta Gladiators (the ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Nashville Predators); while it's their offseason, the team is still "on" as it comes to their community engagement. What we come away with is more than just engagement; it's a reminder

June. It's the official halfway point of the year and the beginning of summer. During this time of the year, a venue with an inviting atmosphere along with indoor and outdoor options is truly ideal. And when it comes to a venue with universal appeal, our recent visit (with our collaborative partners of Lens2Pens Podcast and EmoryRose Photography) to Urban Pie Atlanta is truly a space and place which has these components and so much more. Under the ownership of Lisa Curtis,
