    Fantastic article/interview with the up and coming Yo-Pro Joseph Lucido…how inspiring to read about a young man’s dreams in articulate fashion with clear vision and strong work ethics. A suggestion…you all should check back in on individuals you feature in a 2 to 5 years period and see where they are personally and professionally. Individuals like myself who enjoy your publication would appreciate that type of continuity and thoroughness.

    I grew up in Marietta and now live in Suwanee. So I’ve been in Metro Atl my entire life. This is one of the best places in the world. Glad to see a cool website like this highlighting inspiring people and stories.

    Great to see the greater community become aware of the great work Tektography provides! We had the pleasure of using Teferi for our website and instagram professional images. They are natural and engaging!

    I just started a Home health care agency with a partner. We are strong Black Women Business Owners. We would love to feature in your magazine. We have a story to tell.
