Inc. 5000-ranked faith-based enterprise unveils new television and podcast slate led by original docuseries, "House of Healing." Private Atlanta upfront and premiere screening set for Thursday, October 8.

ATLANTA, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunamis Woman™ Enterprise has announced they are expanding their transformational work into television and digital media with the launch of the Dunamis Woman™ TV Network, a new streaming platform featuring original programming centered on healing, faith, identity, relationships, leadership and personal transformation. The initial slate will include the flagship docuseries, House of Healing, the Dunamis Woman Today TV show and original podcasts from Dunamis Woman™ Visionary Founder, Dr. Davetta "Dunamis Dee" Mallory, and her daughter COO and Visionary Builder, Ariel "Professor Ari" Fuller.

The expansion marks the next chapter for the mother-daughter-led enterprise, whose story began with Dr. Dee and Professor Ari doing the deeply personal work to heal their own relationship before helping other women do the same. What began as a calling has since grown into a multimillion-dollar faith-based enterprise serving more than 125,000 women globally and, most recently, earning the company the No. 3,465 spot on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list following 82% three-year revenue growth.

"When Dunamis Woman began, healing was personal. My daughter and I had to confront things in our own relationship before we could authentically help other women confront what was broken in theirs," said Dr. Dunamis Dee. "Since then, we have had the privilege of watching women do the courageous work of healing, reclaiming their identity and changing the trajectory of their families. I am incredibly proud of how far this vision has come, and I believe we are ready for this next chapter. Dunamis Woman TV gives us an opportunity to open the doors and let the world see what real healing looks like, and what becomes possible on the other side of it."

"We reached a point where we knew the transformation happening within Dunamis Woman could no longer be limited by how many people we could bring into a room," added Ariel. "My mother is the Visionary Leader, and I am the Visionary Builder, so my responsibility was to determine how we could translate what she created into media without losing the integrity of what makes it powerful. That required us to think beyond simply filming content and intentionally develop programming that could carry these stories, conversations and experiences to a much larger audience. Dunamis Woman TV is the result of that planning, and the beginning of how we take this impact to the world."

To extend that impact, the Dunamis Woman™ TV Network will serve as the centralized home for the organization's original television, transformational storytelling and podcasts, bringing its growing body of programming together across digital and streaming platforms. The network's slate includes:

Dunamis Woman Today — Premieres Wednesday, October 5: A transformational, story-driven series highlighting real women and men from the Dunamis Woman™ community and their journeys through healing, faith, relationships and personal transformation. Hosted by Professor Ari, the series pairs personal storytelling with insight from Dr. Dee, who helps viewers understand the lessons behind each journey and apply them to their own lives.

House of Healing — Premieres Thursday, October 10: The network's flagship unscripted transformational docu-series follows real women, not actors, as they enter an immersive healing retreat to confront the wounds, mindsets, relationships and life experiences that have kept them bound. Led by Dr. Dunamis Dee, each retreat takes viewers inside the raw conversations, challenging exercises, therapeutic coaching and deeply personal breakthroughs that unfold as women uncover what lies beneath the problems they thought they came to solve, revealing that sometimes, the problem you walk in talking about isn't the real problem at all.

The Professor Ari Podcast — Premieres Sunday, October 11: A thought-leadership podcast for ambitious women building what they believe God has called them to carry. Through conversations about identity, leadership, faith, endurance, income and impact, Fuller draws from her experience as a young executive and entrepreneur to explore what it takes to build with both purpose and capacity.

The Dr. Dunamis Dee Podcast — Premieres Sunday, October 11: Filmed from the stylish setting of Dr. Dee's' Dunamis Woman Boutique, the podcast introduces audiences to another side of the Visionary Founder through candid conversations about confidence, relationships, self-esteem, wisdom and the freedom to become unapologetically who they were created to be.

Dunamis Woman™ will formally introduce its new media chapter to the entertainment industry on Thursday, October 8, 2026, with the Dunamis Woman™ TV Network Upfront & Premiere in Atlanta. The invitation-only event will bring together entertainment executives, producers, media, creators, influencers, cultural tastemakers and business leaders for an exclusive "first look" at the network's inaugural programming slate. Guests will experience programming previews and trailers, a premiere screening of House of Healing, and a moderated conversation with Dr. Dee, Professor Ari and select participants from the series, followed by an industry networking reception.

Healthcare Triangle (Nasdaq: HCTI) Joins Kanzun-ARCB Growth Fund to Build Malaysia-to-US Corridor for AI and Healthcare Companies

HCTI to serve as U.S. technology and capital-markets partner, bringing AI, cloud and data expertise as ARCB and Kanzun launch cross-border healthcare investment platform

PLEASANTON, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthcare Triangle, Inc. (Nasdaq: HCTI) ("HCTI" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based healthcare technology company, today announced that it has signed on as the U.S. technology and capital-markets partner for a new fund built to move Malaysian healthcare companies to the world stage. The Kanzun-ARCB Growth Fund launched through a Memorandum of Understanding signed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, pairing Dubai-based ARCB Investment LLC's ("ARCB") capital network with Kanzun Ventures Management Sdn. Bhd.'s ("Kanzun") deal experience on the ground in Malaysia. HCTI's role will be to get qualifying companies ready, technologically and financially, for a successful run at the U.S. capital markets.

ARCB brings roughly AED 300 million in assets under management and a network of family offices, institutional investors and strategic partners across the Middle East and Asia. The firm opened its Asia-Pacific office in Kuala Lumpur in April 2026, and the Kanzun-ARCB Growth Fund marks its first major platform launch in the region. Together with Kanzun and HCTI, the three parties are building a structured corridor connecting Malaysian healthcare companies to Middle Eastern capital and, from there, to U.S. capital markets.

How the Partnership Will Work

Kanzun will lead the deal sourcing, due diligence, valuation and portfolio development in Malaysia, identifying healthcare companies with real growth potential. ARCB anchors the fund's capital formation, drawing on its investor network across the Middle East and Asia. HCTI steps in once a target companies are ready for thier next stage of growth. The Company applies its Nasdaq-listed experience and its expertise in artificial intelligence, cloud, data and digital infrastructure to help build the technology foundation and market readiness a U.S. expansion requires.

Management's Comments

Dr Suresh Venkatachari, Founder and Head of M&A of Healthcare Triangle, Inc., said: "We are pleased to collaborate with ARCB and Kanzun Ventures in evaluating opportunities within the Malaysian AI and healthcare sector. We look forward to supporting qualifying companies in their AI technology transformation and evaluating appropriate strategic pathways to expand in U.S. markets."

Dr Chaskar U., Chief Executive Officer of ARCB Group, said: "Since establishing our ASEAN presence in Kuala Lumpur this April, we have been deliberate about where and how ARCB deploys capital in this region. Malaysia's healthcare sector is full of founders who have built genuinely strong businesses but have not yet had access to the institutional capital, governance and international positioning needed to compete globally. That is precisely the gap ARCB exists to close. With Kanzun's execution capability on the ground and Healthcare Triangle's technology and U.S. market experience, we are building more than a fund — we are building a corridor that connects Malaysian healthcare champions to Middle Eastern capital and, from there, to the U.S. capital markets. This is what our ASEAN strategy was always designed to deliver."

Mr Loganathan S., Chief Executive Officer of Kanzun Ventures Management Sdn. Bhd., said: "Malaysia has healthcare entrepreneurs who have spent many years building strong businesses, but many of these companies remain relatively small from an international capital-market perspective. Working with ARCB gives us access to an international capital network, while our collaboration with Healthcare Triangle provides an important connection to healthcare technology and the U.S. market."

One Woman's 2,000-Mile Run Spurs a New Rescue Plan for the Colorado River

- 55-year-old CEO Mina Guli ran over 2,000 miles in 92 days from the river's source in Colorado to Los Angeles

- Summits in Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Los Angeles brought communities, farmers, Tribes, and companies together

- Collective approach will address water crisis that threatens more than $1.4T in annual GDP

- New plan prioritizes water savings across urban, agricultural and industrial sectors as well as investments in natural infrastructure

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- After an epic 2,000-mile run down the entire length of the Colorado River in the scorching heat of summer, Thirst CEO Mina Guli crossed the finish line in Los Angeles and announced a major victory for water advocacy, as representatives of communities, farmers, Tribes, and companies finalized a shared plan to restore the river.

"The Colorado water crisis isn't some future threat—it's hitting communities and cities across the West right now," said Mina Guli, who ran the river as part of the "Keep the River Running" campaign. "For the last three months, I've seen the frontlines of this crisis, hearing from families and companies about their daily struggles to get by on less and less water. But I've also been inspired by the wealth of ways people are already making a difference – from more efficient infrastructure on farms, in cities, and at companies, to conservation groups building beaver dams in mountain streams."

"Today's commitment shows us this crisis is solvable, if we act together, take hard decisions, and rapidly scale up investment in the solutions that build long-term resilience," added Guli.

The Colorado River is a lifeline for the American West, supporting 40 million people, 16 million jobs, and $1.4 trillion in annual economic activity. Yet as its flow dwindles, its reservoirs have hit record lows, threatening power generation at the Hoover Dam, and agriculture that supplies the majority of the US's winter vegetables, and a third of its milk. The US government has called on Arizona, California and Nevada to cut back their use of its water by up to 3 million acre-feet per year – leaving huge questions about how to achieve that goal without impacting the agriculture, energy, manufacturing, technology, communities, cities and Tribal Nations that rely on the river.

"Keep the River Running," is a campaign to address those questions, supported by the Thirst Foundation, Grundfos, and the Water Resilience Coalition (WRC). The campaign's "State of the Basin Report: A Guide to the Colorado River Crisis" identifies key strategies that can move the river from crisis-management to long-term resilience.

55-Year-Old CEO's Toughest Run Ever

Guli, an ultramarathon runner and global water advocate, has logged more than 25,000 miles in a career dedicated to raising awareness of global water challenges. "Keep the River Running" was her longest and toughest single-river run to date. She completed her run in 92 days, less than her 100-day target, and with only 6 days off running for summits and other advocacy work. Along the way, she had to divert her course due to wildfires, and suffer extreme temperatures in the Grand Canyon, which forced her to run at night, and submerge herself in water as the sun rose.

"Mina's journey showed us both the urgency of the Colorado River crisis and the determination of the people working to address it," said Ansell Sims, US Country President, Grundfos. "This shared ambition reflects what is possible when communities, Tribal leaders, businesses and water experts come together around practical action."

Guli, sometimes referred to as "water woman" by fans who follow her campaigns, was joined by those on the frontlines of the water crisis, including the Colorado River Indian Tribes Community, their Tribal Council, and the Mojave Runners. Her stops included visits to the Hoover Dam, a Meta data center, the river's parched delta in Mexico, and the Imperial Irrigation District in California.

A series of videos highlight what Guli witnessed along her run, including challenges, like dwindling snowpack, and actionable solutions, like beaver dam analogs, agrivoltaics, and urban water efficiency.

Summits drove solutions

Four summits along her run drew prominent stakeholders in the basin, including Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and representatives of major cities, and companies in the tech, agricultural, beverage, engineering and infrastructure space.

In Los Angeles, she crossed the finish line where the river's water now effectively ends, at the Metropolitan Water District, where it flows out into the taps of 19 million people across California. At the summit, a shared commitment to the river was finalized among Thirst Foundation, Grundfos and the Water Resilience Coalition, which will prioritize water efficiency and waste-reduction, freshwater habitat restoration, equitable water and sanitation access, and source water protection.

"No single organization can solve this challenge alone," Sims added. "By working together, we can scale proven water solutions and help build a more resilient future for the Colorado River Basin."

"People told me I was crazy to run the Colorado in summer. But I'm not crazy. I am committed to doing hard things because we all need to do hard things to save our economically-critical and water-stressed rivers across the world," said Guli.

"I have crossed the finishing line but this is not the end of the campaign: the journey goes on," she said. "Together, we will work to leverage the investment needed to scale these solutions and save the Colorado River."

Relativity aiR now integrates with OpenAI through the Model Context Protocol

This integration connects Relativity aiR directly to ChatGPT Enterprise and enables users to stand up workspaces, organize case data and manage legal operations

CHICAGO, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced that it has deepened its work with OpenAI by integrating Relativity aiR, its extensible AI platform for legal work, with ChatGPT Enterprise. Through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), legal teams can now use natural language in ChatGPT Enterprise to stand up new matters, align workspaces to the structure of their data, and manage access and workflows in Relativity aiR.

"ChatGPT Enterprise has quickly become one of the most common places professionals go to manage their work, and legal teams are no exception," said Chris Brown, President of Relativity. "In connecting Relativity aiR with ChatGPT Enterprise, legal professionals can take action within the tools they already use, while maintaining the security and permissions of their existing workflows and keeping Relativity's substantive data analysis within the platform."

This integration further extends the capabilities of Relativity aiR and its broader partner ecosystem. The integration bridges Relativity aiR to a tool many legal teams already leverage, letting administrators work seamlessly without switching between systems. The result is a conversational agentic execution layer on top of Relativity aiR, empowering teams with a faster way to run enterprise workflows without trading off security.

As AI capabilities evolve rapidly, Relativity's MCP strategy is designed to keep pace: connecting its platform to the AI applications legal teams already use, so they can adopt new tools as they emerge while defensibility remains anchored in Relativity aiR.

Relativity began working with OpenAI in 2024, when ChatGPT Enterprise became a data source in Collect. This enabled legal teams to seamlessly collect activity logs and conversation content for easy review in a near-native format.

To learn more about activating the OpenAI connector in Relativity aiR, visit https://relativity.com/platform/mcp/ or chat with the Relativity team at RelFest Chicago taking place Sept. 29–Oct. 1.

The article explains how early dance classes build movement, listening, confidence, and social skills through age-appropriate instruction.

JOLIET, Ill., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What should parents understand before their child begins dance classes? A HelloNation article provides guidance on dance readiness, early dance education, and how beginner dance builds confidence, listening skills, and movement skills from the very first class.

In the feature, Lori A. Bowen, MDE of La Danse Académie in Joliet, Illinois, outlines what families can expect during the early stages of dance training. Bowen serves on the Board of Directors for the Chicago National Association of Dance Masters, chairs its Ballet Forum, and is also a member of the Southern Association of Dance Masters. The article explains that early dance education is designed to provide a positive introduction to structured movement rather than focus on perfect technique.

The HelloNation article emphasizes that beginner dance centers on foundational movement skills. In children's dance classes, students learn body awareness, rhythm recognition, and how to respond to instruction. These skills develop gradually through repetition, routine, and encouragement. Classes may include creative movement, simple patterns, and musical games that allow children to feel successful without pressure or comparison.

Listening skills and classroom readiness are also key parts of dance readiness. According to the article, young dancers practice watching demonstrations, following directions, and waiting for their turn. These habits support success not only in the studio but also in school and other group environments. Dance offers a structured setting where children learn actively through movement.

A positive experience is more important than technical precision in early dance education. The article notes that when children feel supported, they are more willing to try new movement skills. Instructors use clear expectations, consistent routines, and encouraging language so dancers feel safe taking risks. Confidence building begins when children experience small successes and understand that mistakes are part of learning.

Age-appropriate instruction is another important theme in the HelloNation article. Beginner dance classes use simple language, playful imagery, and manageable expectations. Teachers repeat directions, demonstrate clearly, and guide students at a steady pace. This structure keeps children engaged without overwhelming them and supports healthy development at each stage.

Children's dance classes also encourage social growth. Dancers learn to share space, cooperate with classmates, and respect personal boundaries. For many students, dance is one of their first structured group activities. These early interactions help develop empathy, patience, and self-confidence while still allowing for individual expression.

The article also addresses parental questions about discipline. Structure in beginner dance provides security rather than strictness. Young dancers practice lining up, standing on assigned spots, and listening for musical cues. Over time, responsibility grows naturally through repetition and positive reinforcement.

Progress may look different for every child. The HelloNation article explains that improvement may appear as stronger listening skills, increased focus, greater participation, or growing confidence rather than visible technical advancement. Recognizing these milestones helps families appreciate the broader impact of early dance education.

Adjustment periods are normal. A new classroom, teacher, and peer group can feel overwhelming at first. The article encourages patience as children build familiarity and comfort. With consistent support, hesitant beginners often develop strong dance readiness and confidence over time.

The article concludes that starting dance is about more than learning steps. Through beginner dance instruction, children build movement skills, listening skills, confidence-building habits, and social awareness in a nurturing environment. These early experiences often shape how children approach learning and self-expression well beyond the studio.

The article, What Parents Should Know Before Their Child Starts Dance Classes, features insights from Lori A. Bowen, MDE, Dance Studio Expert of Joliet, IL, in HelloNation.

Beast Philanthropy and Rockefeller Foundation Partner on Nutritious, Sustainable School Meals in Ghana and Kenya

- The philanthropies will support school meals in Ghana's Eastern Region and Kenya's Bomet County to improve nutrition, learning, attendance, and help keep children out of child labor.

- School meals have been proven to reduce child poverty and exploitation, food insecurity, and poor health and well-being.

GREENVILLE, N.C. and NEW YORK , Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ahead of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Beast Philanthropy and The Rockefeller Foundation announced in a short form video today the first projects of their strategic partnership, committing to establish community-led, regenerative school meal (RSM) programs in Ghana's Eastern Region and Kenya's Bomet County. Beast Philanthropy has built six schools in the past twelve months.

"Building schools gives kids a place to learn, but if they're hungry, they can't focus or reach their full potential," said Jimmy Donaldson (aka MrBeast), founder of Beast Philanthropy. "Partnering with The Rockefeller Foundation to provide nutritious, locally grown meals to these kids is a total game-changer. We're not just feeding thousands of students, we're helping local farmers and keeping kids healthy in a sustainable way."

"Jimmy has shown the extraordinary power of video-based storytelling to inspire young people to help their neighbors in need—and to do so with the accountability and transparency that audiences are rightfully demanding," said Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation. "This partnership between The Rockefeller Foundation and Beast Philanthropy pairs a century of expertise in food systems and nutrition with an innovative platform for reaching and motivating people. Together, we'll show that in a more pessimistic world, it's still possible to lift up humanity's most vulnerable people, deliver results, and inspire people to give back."

Over the next five years, Beast Philanthropy and The Rockefeller Foundation will stand up RSM programs in Ghana and Kenya to provide approximately 4,000 children with a school lunch, five days a week. The meals are sourced from local farmers using agricultural practices that improve soil health and resilience and generate data‑proven benefits for children's health and learning, local food systems, and economic development. With support from The Rockefeller Foundation, Beast Philanthropy will document these efforts, bringing the stories of the students, families, and farmers to global audiences and inspiring transformational action worldwide.

In January 2026, leaders from Beast Philanthropy and The Rockefeller Foundation visited schools in Ghana and Kenya, meeting with community members, educators, and local farmers to learn about existing school meal programs and identify where support was needed most. The visit was part of a strategic partnership announced in late November 2025.

These new initiatives work with country-specific programs designed to reflect local needs, leverage existing agricultural livelihoods, and build toward long-term durability and community ownership:

- Ghana: In Ghana, Beast Philanthropy and The Rockefeller Foundation are collaborating with local stakeholders, including CARE, Fairtrade Africa, West Akyem Co-operative Cocoa Farmers and Marketing Union, and Gold Coast Nutrition Fund, to expand local cocoa farmers' agroforestry through the adoption of intercropping techniques for food in school meal programs. This community-centered approach uses regenerative principles and integrates food production directly into existing agricultural livelihoods. The initiative will begin by ensuring consistent, nutritious meals across ten schools serving 9 communities in Ghana's Eastern Region, with school gardens and farms as the program scales over the next five years. Where compatible, the Foundation's partner the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet will explore providing reliable electricity access for meal preparation as well as for school and local market activity.

"This project is a testament to what sustainable development in action can look like," said Michael Alandu, Country Director of CARE Ghana. "It brings together one of the most robust policy solutions – school meals – and connects it with local efforts to support farmers and ensure they transition to practices that will help them sustain their farms when extreme weather hits. We hope this can be a model for school meal programs across Ghana and the world."

- Kenya: In Kenya, Beast Philanthropy and The Rockefeller Foundation are partnering to build a scalable RSM model suited to southwestern Kenya's arid landscapes. The initiative will establish school gardens as centers of learning on nutrition and regenerative agriculture, link local fortified bean producers—through The Rockefeller Foundation's existing work with AGRA—directly to school meal supply chains, and deploy solar-powered clean-cooking infrastructure that improves health outcomes, starting in three schools.

"We are excited to work alongside The Rockefeller Foundation to advance Regenerative School Meals in Kenya," said Carol Moraa, Project Principal at Beast Philanthropy. "Already we are seeing immense opportunity for more sustainable, nutritious, and regenerative school meals and what a difference it makes in the lives of learners."

The Beast Philanthropy-Rockefeller Foundation Partnership

The Beast Philanthropy-Rockefeller Foundation partnership is already taking shape on the ground. In Kenya, The Rockefeller Foundation partnered with local organizations to install a hybrid, solar-electric cooking system from local, youth-led company Ecobora in one school and a BURN Manufacturing clean cookstove, which is powered by farm waste briquettes, in another school. These efforts are enabling more nutritious school meals, while reducing reliance on traditional cooking fuels that lead to toxic indoor pollution, deforestation, and heavy economic and time burdens on families.

Before partnering, Beast Philanthropy and The Rockefeller Foundation had been working independently to improve nutrition, health, education, and economic outcomes in Ghana and Kenya. In Ghana, Beast Philanthropy is focused on getting children off cocoa farms and into classrooms by removing barriers and providing direct community investment. Separately, The Rockefeller Foundation has committed more than $6.75 million over the past five years to expand and improve school meal programs that nourish vulnerable children in Ghana and Kenya, while promoting community resilience and more equitable and regenerative food systems.

Together, their strategic partnership brings complementary strengths: Beast Philanthropy's unparalleled storytelling reach and on-the-ground school-building work, and The Rockefeller Foundation's expertise in food systems, regenerative agriculture, and clean cooking.
