2026 Winter Edition

Game Changers Magazine – The Conscious Culture Publication

Dear Game Changers Family,

This season marks more than just another publication it marks reflection, resilience, and revelation.

Recently, I had the honor of being featured on the Business Built by Faith Podcast, hosted by Demetrius and Shay Lynn Dixon. During that powerful conversation, we revisited the foundation of what built Game Changers Media Network faith. Not strategy first. Not funding first. Not infrastructure first. Faith first.

Game Changers Media Network was birthed during a time when our community needed a platform a space where African American leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals in the Atlanta South region could see themselves reflected in excellence. When we launched, there was no publication in our immediate area consistently highlighting the emerging voices, the business builders, and the visionaries shaping the Southern Crescent.

So we became the trailblazers.

Through our mentorship initiative, Streetz of Gentlemen, we mobilized young men and community leaders, not just to dream but to build. That movement helped spark a cultural shift. Today, we are proud to see other publications and media outlets emerge, empowering women, uplifting rising leaders, and amplifying voices not just locally, but across the state of Georgia.

As we celebrate 10 years in media, we understand something deeply: the roadmap to success is rarely smooth. We have pivoted. We have restructured. We have built partnerships. We have rebuilt infrastructure. We have tested new ideas and refined old ones. I’ve shared the story many times our very first publication grossed just $100 in profit. But we believed God would make a way out of no way.

And He did.

Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. Many wake up inspired to start a business, unaware that perseverance often tastes bittersweet before it becomes rewarding. The long nights. The unanswered emails. The campaigns that don’t convert. The moments of doubt. The silent battles no one sees.

But faith keeps you steady when numbers don’t.

In this Winter Edition, we shine a light on those still in the trenches those digging deep to uncover diamonds in the rough. Leaders who have unique journeys. Entrepreneurs who refused to quit. Servants of the community who understand that impact is greater than applause.

To our loyal readers, subscribers, advertisers, and supporters thank you. You have believed in the value of this platform. You understand that Game Changers Magazine is more than a publication; it is an asset to the culture. It is a mirror. It is a bridge. It is a catalyst.

As always, our mission remains clear:

#EducateTheMind #ElevateTheSpirit

#EliminateTheStereotype

Breaking cycles. Building bridges. Becoming the change we want to see.

From my family to yours, thank you for riding this journey with us.

Let’s continue to build on faith.

With gratitude and purpose,

Andreal “Mr. Country Fly” Mallard Sr.
