Before I begin this article, I want to say rest in peace to those whose life's were recently taken by an act of hate and violent and my prayers are with their families.

This past week I, along with the rest the rest of America, the black community specifically, have shed tears and felt outraged and hopeless and cheated. This is a time where it is most important to stand together and support each other. A great way to do so it by supporting your local black owned businesses. Below I have listed black owned businesses in the Augusta, Georgia area, also known as the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA), I personally enjoy and businesses I would love to support in the future.

1. Sweets on Broad

Sweets on Broad is "your one stop sweet shop is historic downtown Augusta!" Located at 956 Broad Street and serves ice cream, candy, cake, cupcakes, cheesecakes, and other wonderful desserts.

2. Cafe 209

Augusta's favorite home cooking restaurant and catering located in downtown Augusta at 956 Broad Street.

3. PoPin' STOP

Augusta's first gourmet popcorn and candy gallery! Not only do they have a wide array of great popcorn to choose from they also host painting parties for all ages to enjoy. The shop is located at 3558 Windsor Spring Road Hephzibah, Georgia.

4. Humanitree House Juice Joint and Gallery

Humanitree offers cold pressed juices, smoothies and fresh vegan food options. As well as food Humanitree is an art gallery, music venue, education centre, a movie screening theater, a community centre, and much more. It's located in downtown Augusta at 230 8th Street.

5. The Cotton Patch

Founded in 1990, The Cotton Patch is one of the oldest restaurants in Downtown. Enjoy great southern style food, live blues, and jazz weekly. Located at 816 Cotton Ln Augusta, Georgia.

This list is definitely not every black owned business in the CSRA, so please comment any more businesses that you would like to show support for. Help strengthen our community by supporting our businesses. We cannot equip ourselves until we strengthen our own community's economic base.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
