ATLANTA, GA – Yesterday, March 20, 2025, Overlooked made its highly anticipated debut, delivering real conversations, real struggles, and real triumphs. Created by Apostle Dwight Buckner Jr., this show explores the experiences of those who have been counted out, ignored, or underestimated—until now.
More than just a talk show, Overlooked highlights stories of resilience, faith, and perseverance, blending real-life experiences with biblical parables. Apostle Buckner’s approach creates a space where guests can speak openly, offering honest and thought-provoking discussions.
“There’s something powerful about finally being seen,” says Buckner. “I hope viewers realize that just because their moment hasn’t come yet doesn’t mean their light isn’t shining—it just means the world hasn’t caught up to their greatness.”
At a time when conversations about mental health, visibility, and success within the Black community are more necessary than ever, Overlooked delivers a message that is both timely and relevant.
