Going "fourth". The upcoming Fourth Source Resources Fair via Congressman Hank Johnson provides a measure of help to the larger community
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


Keeping pace with BACE; the Black Atlanta Comic Expo provides engagement with top writers, artists, and others in the field and connects them with readers and the larger comic book community
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


Beauty, the beach, the Bahamas, and beyond. The Beauty & the Beach series via aParent Miracles Foundation is a part of what they do to support custodial single parents.
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


Join in: a visit to the Ronald McDonald House by way of the Atlanta Gladiators reminds all to put families at the heart of care
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


Men matter: in time for Men's Mental Health Month, the Hip Hop 4 Health event provides access to resources and community engagement
Health is wealth. This catchphrase is gaining traction as there's a growing awareness for the importance of one's health. And while there's an awareness regarding one's physical health, there's a growing understanding of the importance and relevance of one's mental health, especially when it comes to men. While mental health is important all year-round, the month of June takes on added importance as it's Men's Mental Health Month. Of a number of events taking place througho


Restoration: Senators Richard Blumenthal and Elizabeth Warren, along with Representative Hank Johnson, call on Bank of America to restore consumer protections and legal rights
At a time where the political landscape is relatively questionable, one of the entities who feels the brunt of said activity is the actual consumer. Along with well documented concerns related to transportation (in the form of gas prices being about 40% higher than this time in 2025 - you may click HERE to learn more), protecting the consumer (and general public) is a clear and present issue. Last fall (click HERE to read our article from the September 15, 2025 community eng


A purpose in being prepared: the upcoming book discussion via Shenita Connally focuses on providing access to resources in getting things in order
Is your life in order? When it comes to preparing for the inevitable, getting one's affairs in order is a conversation that has to take place.

Given her life experience in transitioning, Shenita Connally's book Is Your House In Order is a deep yet accessible dive into the need to plan ahead as fully as possible.
