Doing good, but doing it greater...

When substance is your style, it remains relevant. An example of this is the work of Missouri, the creative leader behind Styletainment, along with the groundbreaking work they are doing in fashion, the creative and performing arts, the celebration of women who are breast cancer survivors, and with the efforts behind A Place Called Love, a means of enhanced advocacy for women who are living with and through breast cancer while battling homelessness. During our recent conversa

During the ACC Kickoff (July 15-17, 2026), nearly 190 members of the media make their way to Charlotte, NC to partake of the opportunity to speak with the member institutions' head coaches and 3 player representatives (click HERE to read our Day 2 coverage article). It's a way to engage with the teams said outlets typically cover along with speaking with those they may not get to do so on as consistent a basis (click HERE to read our Day 3 coverage article). Part of the medi

The summer is a season to step up and out in style. And on August 15, 2026 (from 6-11pm), the Xi Chi Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. does so with their summertime signature event, Linen & Blues. The event takes place at Guardian Works, allowing for an indoor/outdoor setting in the city for a day of sun, music, and style. Along with the musical stylings of The Band Smoke and the 1's and 2's expertise and excellence of DJ Genius, Chris Cornell, the "Experience

It is a challenge to have unity without community. However, from a historical and contemporary standpoint, HBCU's (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) are more than up to the challenge given their ongoing legacy of being a unifying presence within the immediate and greater community. Coinciding with this includes the efforts of the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) in providing support and access opportunities for students and their member institutions, opportunitie

The QC (Charlotte, NC, which is known as the Queen City) is the place to be July 15-17, 2026. The three day stretch makes the city and the ACC the epicenter of college football. As one of the Power-4 conferences, the ACC Kickoff is an invitational as all 17 member schools send their head coaches, player/team reps, and personnel to meet and greet with the local, regional, and national media. With the start of the season (Week 0) including matchups between Florida State and N

Sunsets and rooftops are among the sights and scenes associated with the summer. And in the case of the North Fulton Alphas, their upcoming event captures this sophisticated setting and so much more. From their initial coming together on July 17, 2021 to the receipt of their formal charter on September 28, 2024, as one of the newer graduate chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the members of the North Fulton Alphas are making their presence felt in their service are

To call the current landscape turbulent is an understatement. Given the myriad of concerns ranging from consumer protection (click HERE for our article) to the pending (when they come into effect on January 1, 2027) adverse impacts of legislation passed last summer (click HERE as we reported this prior to it reaching Congress), there's a considerable amount of items to attempt to take in, and this doesn't count the upcoming midterm (or any other local) elections. By the same

It's summer, and that means time outdoors enjoying an event or two. Even with the World Cup in town among other events, people still need a space to eat and greet, along with enjoying some cultural sights and sounds. Among those taking place, Underground Atlanta is the space and place for another edition of the Seafood & Caribbean Festival. Yesterday's all-day and mid-evening event (June 27, 2026 from 1-10pm EST) provides a central space for those enjoying some time in downt

Delivering the message. Ranging from the media to the mail to a call or a conversation, a central concept is delivering the message. And in doing so in a creative, consistent, and sincere fashion, it can be the bridge-building and mind-shaping measure needed from building awareness to instilling confidence and so much more. And this is what Dwayne Stovall is all about. The Montgomery, AL native and Alabama A&M University alumnus has a 10-plus year track record of innovation

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
