Doing good, but doing it greater...

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

If the first part of our lookback at our top stories of year isn't enough (click HERE to read the article), then you're certain to take a similar look at our look back at the second half of the year. With 2026 upon us, these stories hit a little differently, so let's commence and take a look at our six-pack (plus our 2 honorable mentions): July 2025. The stars truly shine brightly, especially when it comes to an all-star game. In our case, covering the Swingman Classic to

During the holidays, the weekends hit a little differently. And for the Atlanta Gladiators , this weekend hit differently. The team currently sits in 3rd place in the ECHL South Division (16-6-0-0/32 points), but they are only 4 points out of first place as the teams ahead of them (the 1st place Florida Everblades have 36 points and the 2nd place South Carolina Stingrays have 33 points) have played more games (24 and 26 respectively), so the Glads are clearly within strikin

Love is truly in the air on December 14, 2025. Taking place at the Delta Marriott (Somerset, NJ), Styletainment , the creative and performing arts collective, hosts their 5th annual gala. The event consists of class and elegance synonymous with a black-tie affair, but there's more to the event than the attire. Complete with a happy hour/networking time which includes of a red carpet experience, the event is essentially a "2-act" play complete with the excellence and effort

During the holidays or any day, people have the capacity to serve. And one such group who does so is the Cathy Collins House of Hope. The 501c3 (nonprofit) has a dedication to empowering children and young families through their programs, ranging from financial literacy, life skills, and access to resources. And on December 20, 2025, they are doing so along with providing opportunities for the community to lend support. Their upcoming event has a goal of supporting 300 fam

One of the more positive aspects of the holidays is taking time to celebrate.
