This episode explores the powerful impact news has on individuals and communities—shaping opinions, influencing emotions, and even guiding daily choices. We examine how some people actively consume and internalize news, while others avoid it altogether, and the reasons behind both behaviors. The conversation highlights the challenges of navigating slanted or biased reporting, raising critical questions about trust, truth, and perspective.

Welcome to Season 3 of the African Triangle Initiative podcast—where stories, history, and vision intersect across 13 countries and territories, including Germany, Romania, Japan, and the United States.

In this powerful opening episode, we turn our hearts and minds toward a theme that has carried generations: hope.

What does hope mean for the African American community—a people just 159 years removed from slavery? How do we continue to hold on to it, grow it, and live it, even in the face of persistent challenges? And what does the path to hope look like when it’s built from both struggle and strength?

Join us as we explore the meaning of hope—its roots, its relevance, and its revolutionary power. Let this be a moment of reflection, restoration, and rising.

This is more than a podcast. It’s a movement. Welcome back.

Step into the heart of Palmetto, Louisiana—once home to one of the largest concentrations of Black landowners in the South, a place where the soil holds the memory of generations who built, cultivated, and preserved a powerful legacy. This sacred ground is more than just land—it is a living testament to resilience, faith, and the enduring spirit of community.

Join Carl Pickney, Co-Host of the ATI Podcast, as he broadcasts live from this storied region for a very special episode featuring Pastor Dale Fontenot of New Life Church of God, and founder of Project Hope. Together, they explore the deep-rooted love, kinship, and heritage that bring families home—not just for reunions, but for reconnection, celebration, and the nurturing of shared identity.

This episode is a moving tribute to communal legacy and cultural pride. It honors the history that shaped us, the families who define us, and the spiritual bonds that continue to ground and inspire us. You’ll be reminded of the importance of coming together, of honoring where we come from, and of preserving the stories that make us who we are.

Tune in to be uplifted, empowered, and inspired to cherish the ties that bind—and to carry forward a heritage that fuels the soul and strengthens generations.
