Doing good, but doing it greater...

One of the goals of the Atlanta Gladiators for this season (2025-26) is to return to the postseason. This goal is accomplished as the team is assured in playing for the Kelly Cup (the top 4 teams in each division make the playoffs/16 total teams make the playoffs) for the first time since the 2021-22 season. Atlanta has 11 games left in the regular season (they have played 61 of their 72 regular season games thus far) and are currently in 3rd place in the ECHL South (as the

This past Saturday (March 21, 2026 at the Lou Walker Senior Center in Lithonia, GA), Congressman Hank Johnson takes time to connect with the community via the Trailblazer Awards. As is the case during the month of March, the event highlights the impact of women within his district across the public and private section as a means of doing so during Women's History Month. 11 women are awarded this honor, including posthumous recognition as follows (the names are listed in t

This year, as with any year, is an important year. With elections on the local, state, and national level, there's a tremendous amount of information to process and sort through along with identifying what may be important to the individual and the larger community and related entities. In taking time to do so, it's about learning more about the candidates and how their previous and current work may translate to something larger and greater for the collective. We recently s

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

While the current political landscape has a number of people in a challenging situation on the national level, there's a saying coined by the late (and former) US House of Representatives Speaker Tip O'Neill. "All politics is local". When it comes within the state of Georgia, there are a number of bills on the state floor up for debate.
