Doing good, but doing it greater...

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

Show me and I'll go; go and then show me. This full-circle quote provides the context in which the Alma Film Festival encompasses, especially from its founder and managing producer, Anthony Page. With a track record of film and related creative production spanning nearly 30 years, his leadership and vision are among the elements providing the driving force and energy behind this festival and related workings. We recently sat down to discuss the work taking place, starting w

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

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.

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

Since their last home game on January 19, 2026 at the Gas South District, the Atlanta Gladiators are on the road making their way as they get closer to concluding one of their longer road trips of the season.

After t

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
