For families of children and young adults with communication and developmental needs, getting the right therapy can make an enormous difference. But getting access to that therapy and being able to afford it can be another matter entirely. Now, the Chaka Khan Foundation is partnering with Atlanta nonprofit Dynamic Cares to help close that gap. A $10,000 grant will provide 100 free therapy and educational sessions for children, young adults and families who might otherwise go without needed services

2026/09/17

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and this afternoon we're talking about something too many men would rather not talk about—their prostate health. But for Black men especially, that conversation could be lifesaving. Joining me is Dr. Xavier Bryant, CFO and Managing Partner of Atlanta to Anywhere Community Events & Screenings, or A²CES. Dr. Bryant, welcome.

What did you feed your mind this morning? We spend a lot of time thinking about what we put into our bodies but far less time thinking about what we allow into our minds. My guest today says the thoughts we choose can shape our mood, our relationships and even the way we move through life. Joann Kisler is a spiritual life coach and author of thought menu, a new book offering 365 daily messages designed to help us think more intentionally and live more positively.

It’s a decision that takes just minutes, but has the power to save and transform lives for years to come. Across Georgia, thousands of people are waiting for a second chance, for healing, for hope. And that hope often begins with a simple “yes” to organ, tissue, and eye donation. But for many, questions remain. What does it really mean to be a donor? Who does it help? And why is the need so urgent right now? Today we’re joined by two leaders on the front lines of this life-saving work: Dr. Clark

Sometimes the most powerful stories begin with a simple question: Who are you, and where have you been? For journalist Melanie D.G. Kaplan, that question came after adopting her beagle, Hammy a gentle dog who had spent nearly four years inside a research laboratory. What started as curiosity about one dog’s past quickly opened the door to a much larger and more complicated world one where millions of animals are still used each year in research, testing, and education. In her book, Lab Dog: A Beagle

It’s decision season for thousands of students and families across our community. The acceptance letters are in… the choices are narrowing… and now comes the question that can feel just as overwhelming as getting in—how do we pay for college? For many families, the process is filled with emotion, pressure, and uncertainty. Do you choose the dream school? The affordable one? And is there a way to do both—without taking on a lifetime of debt? On today's show we’re talking about a smarter path

A growing number of Americans are turning to artificial intelligence for health advice some for convenience, others because they feel they have no better option. But a new national poll reveals many are relying on these tools without ever seeking professional care. Today, we’re talking with board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Teejay Tripp about the promise, the risks, and what you need to know to protect your mental health in an increasingly digital world.

2026/04/08

You know, some of the most powerful leadership training in this country didn’t happen in a boardroom… it happened in the Black church. From leading choirs to organizing communities, from speaking in front of a congregation to learning how to bring people together — generations of leaders have been shaped in those spaces, often long before they ever held a formal title. Well, my guest today has written a fascinating new book that explores exactly that idea. It’s called Call and Response: 10

American higher education is at a crossroads. Colleges and universities are facing enormous pressures from shifting demographics and rising costs to political scrutiny, artificial intelligence, and questions about the real value of a degree. So what happens next? My guest today says the moment we’re in is not just a crisis it’s an opportunity.

Today on Perspectives, we’re exploring a quiet but profound shift happening in American life. Nearly one in four U.S. adults — more than 50 million people — do not have children. Yet our financial systems, estate laws, and even our expectations around aging still assume that adult children will eventually step in to help make decisions or provide care. So what happens when that assumption doesn’t exist? My guest today, Dr. Jay Zigmont, says millions of Americans are facing what he calls a “fiduciary

Dementia is a word that touches more families than many of us realize. Behind the diagnosis are real people — parents, spouses, friends — and caregivers trying to navigate an often overwhelming journey. Next week in Roswell, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring dignity and purpose for older adults is bringing together national experts and local leaders for an important conversation about care, innovation, and compassion. It’s called the Take On Dementia Symposium, hosted by the nonprofit Second Wind

March is National Nutrition Month, and with spring break right around the corner, many of us are thinking about resetting our routines—maybe getting a little more rest, getting outside more, and hopefully making healthier choices when it comes to what we eat. But here’s a statistic that may surprise you. According to the UnitedHealth Foundation’s America’s Health Rankings Report, only 7.4 percent of adults report eating the recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables. That means the vast

Today on Perspectives, we’re joined by someone whose story continues to inspire people across Georgia and far beyond. Mohamed Massaquoi first made his mark at the University of Georgia, where he became a team captain, a first-team All-SEC wide receiver, and one of the most respected leaders in the Bulldog program. He went on to play in the NFL — but his most powerful work has come after football. In 2017, a near-fatal ATV accident resulted in the amputation of his left hand, an experience that could

A special article in the New England Journal of Medicine Catalyst introduces the Better Ancestor Framework—a bold new approach to transforming a healthcare system that too often has been shaped by structural racism, and instead reimagining one rooted in healing, trust, and justice for all.
