Doing good, but doing it greater...

For those who are not able to partake of early voting (as the last day in Georgia is May 15, 2026), there's still "Primary Tuesday" (on May 19, 2026). With a few days for some to take in the bevy of campaign information, there's an underlying theme to pay attention to. People first. On the last day of early voting, we have a conversation with Demond Mason, as he currently serves as Newton County Commissioner for District 2. The 2-term public servant is running for re-electi

From June 15-July 15, 2026, Atlanta is a city the world is sure to watch given the games and related events associated with the 2026 World Cup. The global signature event in soccer features the world's top national teams competing for the game's ultimate prize. While some may be able to actually partake of the games, there's a number of themed events to provide an engaging experience. And one set of events to keep an eye on includes the World Cup Experience Events. Under th

During the current primaries and early voting season, there are a number of races to pay attention to, along with having an understanding of what the office entails and the level of impact it has. One such office is that of Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge. And one such candidate is BT Gutter Parker (Esq.). During our recent conversation, we take time to speak about her candidacy as she is among 3 candidates running for office. At the onset, Gutter Parker provides the

It's April. It's Spring. And it's time to enjoy the great outdoors, not just on a weekend, but a weekday. Yes, the weekday, as next Tuesday, April 14th, is an opportunity for lovers of the game of golf along with supporting great causes can enjoy some time on the green. Just as they did last year (click HERE for our article), the Central Gwinnett High School football program is hosting their golf tournament. It takes place at the Olde Atlanta Golf Course (5750 Olde Atlan

A number of great ideas started off small, and when people and entities come together for the greater good, good things can happen. In our recent conversation with McDonough Moms, what starts off as simply seeing a need and starting off with a meeting with maybe 2 or 3 people to grow to a network of close to 20,000 people shows what persistence and presence can look like when it comes to empowering mothers and their families. By the same token, an inspiration from family exp

In case you haven't heard, 2026 is an election year on multiple levels (click HERE for our article on happenings on the state level/Georgia). And yes, to this day, politics is local; one such local election for those in Gwinnett County includes the county's Superior Court (judge), as this is the position Ramona Toole (Esq) is running for. In our conversation with her, we get a point of reference of her credentials, platform, and ways to stay informed and engaged with her ca

Conceive. Believe. Achieve. It seems pretty straightforward when it comes to formulating an idea, having the sense of getting it done, and then doing so. Building upon these and related principles is precisely what the work of the Men and Ladies of Columbia High School in Decatur, GA is all about. Combined with their leadership team and the efforts of their chief catalyst, Bobby Frazier, students who are a part of this program, along with their supporters, are doing these

Collaborations can be key when it comes to making a positive impact and leaving an enriching footprint on the fabric of the community. And with the month of March fast approaching, two community-focused organizations are teaming up to make a difference in lives of those focused on making a positive transition life-wise and beyond. We recently sat down with leadership of The 3 Keys Foundation and their collaborative partners, the "Iconic" Iota Zeta Sigma Chapter of Sigma Gam

The upcoming holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. carries a significant meaning when you consider the history and legacy behind the man. Ranging from his academic prowess (as an alumnus of Morehouse College along with his doctorate from Boston University ), his leadership within the faith community, to his civil rights work, and his larger advocacy for economic and related equity across the class and caste strata, this in and of itself is something to recall, reflect u

What a way to start your new year . On January 1, 2026 while others may be resting from the festivities of the evening before, on a cool, clear, and sunny morning at 10am EST, we have the pleasure of communing with fellow members of the media and more importantly, members from both the Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-7 overall/1-7 in the SEC/tied for 13th place in the conference) and Wake Forest Demon Deacons (8-4 overall/4-4 in the ACC/tied for 7th place in the conference) ar
