Doing good, but doing it greater...

In case you haven't heard by now, 2026 is an election year. There are a number of key races bases on local, state, and national/federal levels. And there are a number of issues at hand which are in need and improved problem solving (click HERE for a recent event via Congressman Hank Johnson) along with how decisions from 2025 are gradually bringing on an adverse impact just in the areas of health, education, and food access (click HERE for our article). With a number of area

Yesterday's price isn't today's price. While we realize this is true, a point can be made about the drastic changes since the change in the administration and majority in Congress which takes effect in January 2025. The cuts to essential services that are forecast prior to last summer's bill getting passed (click HERE for our coverage) are gradually taking effect and clearly will be felt even more drastically in the coming months. When people consider from September 2025 to

When you hear the words beauty, beach, or the Bahamas, it likely brings up images of warm, rest, and relaxation. And while that is definitely a part of it, there's something more to it than just another excursion or vacation. Imagine if something along these lines provides the opportunity to give back, which only adds to the fun and festivity behind such an event? This is exactly what Beauty & the Beach is all about, as it's part of the bigger work done by aParent Miracles F

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

Communication matters. Despite the tempestuous nature of different elements in the current landscape, the ability to communicate efficiently and effectively with a measure of generating understanding which can lead to improved problem-solving and beyond. With steady engagement, utilization of best and better practices, and an immersion in styles and processes with documented results, positive changes can come, be it in an organization, business, nonprofit, or other entity.

There are those who have their sights set on September. Ranging from the Labor Day holiday to scenes on Saturdays and Sundays given the onset of football season to a change in the weather given the advent of autumn, September is a special month. And in this spirit, the SEL Foundation is setting the stage with its signature event focused on a sound setting in support of its community endeavors. As in previous years (click HERE for an article on one of their previous editions)

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

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

The summer is a season to step up and out in style. And on August 15, 2026 (from 6-11pm), the Xi Chi Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. does so with their summertime signature event, Linen & Blues. The event takes place at Guardian Works, allowing for an indoor/outdoor setting in the city for a day of sun, music, and style. Along with the musical stylings of The Band Smoke and the 1's and 2's expertise and excellence of DJ Genius, Chris Cornell, the "Experience

To call the current landscape turbulent is an understatement. Given the myriad of concerns ranging from consumer protection (click HERE for our article) to the pending (when they come into effect on January 1, 2027) adverse impacts of legislation passed last summer (click HERE as we reported this prior to it reaching Congress), there's a considerable amount of items to attempt to take in, and this doesn't count the upcoming midterm (or any other local) elections. By the same
