I’m from the small town of Latham, in Upstate New York. A somewhat large family, I had two brothers growing up, and then another brother and his twin sister when I was a little older. My parents gave me the gift of a loving family. We weren’t perfect, but we were us. I grew up with the sense that family was everything. And not just blood family. My mother would take in friends and neighbors who were going through tough times and treat them as her own kids. She was always generous and loving, even when we didn’t have much to give. Probably what led me to believe a strong bond with someone was worth its weight in gold. My father was more the strong silent type. He had his own way of showing he cared for others. It wasn’t displayed as often, but when he did, it had a world of an impact. When I was 18, he passed away suddenly from cancer, which threw my life into a downwards spiral. I wandered aimlessly for a few years, watching as my family was slowly being torn apart, emotions flaring, our financial situation worsening, and darkness clouding our hearts. Read more>>

I’ve always been an entrepreneur. I’ve had several businesses, including a fine jewelry store, mortgage and real estate office, to name a few and started ISP back in 2016 after moving to Atlanta from San Diego with my family. At the time, I was a stay-at-home mom with six kids and a military veteran-husband and has always been a busy body. I wanted something to do while the kids were in school. I needed a challenge and something to look forward to that was my own. Becoming a Government contractor seemed like a great idea at the time and I wanted to provide something that was simple and always in demand. At the time, I still ran my insurance agency, Barbosa Benefits & Financial Services of almost 10yrs but it was on auto-pilot, so I wanted to do something more. As I started to build my network in Atlanta, my insurance agency started to pick up and demand more of me. My supply company became dormant as I quickly learned, despite all of the certifications I had, competition with big-box companies in the public sector was very high. Fast-forward into 2020.

I first started rapping in 2017 when I dropped my debut mixtape “From The Soul” I didn’t honestly start taking my music serious until this last year when my streams shot up tremendously. I now have a total of 400k streams after racking up 200k plus this past year on Spotify. Now I am awaiting to release my debut album titled “The Realist” in 2021, looking forward to continuing my music career. Read more>>

Eugene didn’t start off as Eugene. It was originally called Altruisme, which meant “selfless” in French. We never put the name on any pieces, though. My brothers told me that we should call it Eugene, which is my middle name and that the pieces we create should be a reflection of how I see fashion. Not many people know that the original name (Altruisme) was rooted from my non-profit Kloset Kleanerz, it plays a big role in how the brand moves, from the things we say on pieces and to the art we display. I’ve only been selling Eugene pieces since September of 2019. This is not long but it feels like we’ve been doing this forever. The process to get to where we are now wasn’t easy, honestly. But it’s a recipe we have, well, more of a saying and it is “be better than we were last time.” We focus on what we have to do, without comparison or complaint. That’s how we’ve got to where we are now and it’s how we plan to keep moving forward. Read more>>

William K. Boddie Jr.

I have always had an interest in the law since I was a student at Banneker High School in College Park, Georgia. I just remember seeing one of the greatest if not greatest Defense Attorney ever to practice law, Johnnie Cochran on television during an evening news segment featuring one of his many great closing arguments. Attorney Johnnie Cochran’s closing argument was so powerful, so moving, and so vivid in his mastery of the English language; that it actually felt like I could feel and even see his word imagery in his closing argument. At that moment as a teenager, I said to myself, “I want to do that. I can do that too.” That was the moment that the “Law Bug” bit me and I have had a deep passion for the law ever since that moment in high school. That one evening news segment help to shape my future, develop my goals, and calibrate my drive for life after high school. Those goals were to go to college, then go the law school, and pass the Georgia Bar to become a Criminal Defense Attorney in my home state. I have been practicing law for fifteen great years now and that’s how I got to where I am today. Read more>>

Krave immersed from a late-night conversation about life. As we discuss our retirement plans and how we wish to liberty ourselves from working for Corporate America, we realize maybe we didn’t have to wait. There has been an uprise of small businesses over the years and we decided to join the wave, cause why not! In the winter of 2018, we got busy and created our first menu and handed it out to everyone we knew. The reviews were simply amazing and gave us the drive to keep going. We push the limits in every way as we build our business and continue to work our day jobs to invest in our dream. We are here today and will be here everyday after because when you have the ability to create a foundation of doing something you love, there’s no looking back. Read more>>

Brianna Jones

I started having a passion for hair around the age of 15 or 16. I didn’t really start taking it seriously until after I graduated high school. I enrolled into college to be a physical therapist assistant but soon realized that’s not what I wanted to do and switched my major to cosmetology. While in cosmetology, I learned so much, including making wigs(what I specialize in). As I perfected my craft and started making wigs for family and friends, I started seeing how “hair store” bought hair didn’t last as long and how I would like something that lasted longer for my clients. I wanted the wigs I made to stand out. I wanted them to be durable. I wanted them to last. I wanted whoever was wearing them to feel comfortable and beautiful, like the hair was their own and most importantly, I wanted to know that I was responsible for the extra confidence my clients have. I decided to start shopping around for a reliable hair vendor. It took about three years to find the perfect vendor but I decided from that point on to start my own hair company and here we are today with BBRAND XTENSIONS. Read more>>

I am a native of Atlanta and a product of its thriving theatre community and youth performing arts programs. Over the years, I’ve trained in a number of disciplines and academia; music and composition, dance, and theatre. I decided at an early age that Howard University would be the home for my collegiate studies. Matriculating through the arts programs, I was introduced to Ozzie Davis and Ruby Dee, later Debbie Allen, Phylicia Rashad, and the growing list of influential and notable alumni of Howard University. From the age of 12, I always felt I was a part of the Howard family. My nonconventional acceptance to Howard University rooted me in that fact. After completing my studies at Howard, I joined The Diversity Leadership program in Los Angeles hosted by Chapman University and Monster.com to further the development of my corporate career in economics. Within six months, after craving the adrenaline of performing, I found myself in Atlanta. This was only after the encouragement and kick in the butt from a dear friend to relentlessly pursue my dreams. Read more>>

Sabriah Reese

I am a woman who happens to be a single mother of five children. I survived two abusive marriages by the skin of my teeth. In my first marriage, my ex-husband was physically and emotionally abusive and oppressive. In my second marriage, my ex-husband was a narcist who was also emotionally and spiritually oppressive. It was in my second divorce that I realized I needed to heal and repair myself in order to move on and make better decisions. As I began to take the steps to heal myself, I saw so many other women going through the same things as me. I was blessed to be able to heal and move forward. Unfortunately, everyone is not. I decided to began my quest to helping women repair and rebuild themselves. It is work that is near and dear to my heart and am deeply passionate about. I began going live on social media, telling my story and the lessons that I had learned. In a short amount of time, my following grew and people were listening to me. More importantly, they were inspired and motivated. Read more>>

Luh BlessedChild

I was born and raised in Austell, Georgia by a Nigerian household. Growing up. I was really observant of my surroundings and always took in what was around me. I was really introduced to my creative side by my sister early on. She’d do art projects and she’d play all the new music out at the time. So seeing her do that made me gain the confidence to be myself and original when it came to art, whether it’s music, clothes, etc. I always had it in the back of my mind that I would become an artist from an early age, but I never really tapped into it until after high school. Once I graduated, I ran into a producer name Johntaae who really introduced me to the music scene. I would practice making lyrics to his beats and he would continuously improve his beat making. We were both naturally competitive so watching each other improve everyday made us get better. I finally decided to put my lyrics on beats around December last year and would record my first song with Brev and with the help of my cousin VillageBoi Kachi assisting me on formatting my music.

I was born in a small town in Florida called Belle Glade, Florida in the middle of the slums surrounded by poverty, drug dealing, drug addiction and untimely death. I was always observant of the street life, looking up to the most unnecessary people and eventually became a product of my environment because I was fatherless until I found Christ Jesus and grew strong mentally. I was raised in a musical family and I was always obsessed with heartfelt music. Plus, I shared a room with my brother who’s rapped since we were kids and even gained fame in the neighborhood, but then I met a prophet in 2014. I never met this guy but he told me I was going to rap for the Lord Jesus and the most ruthless people’s lives will be changed through my lyrics, and after those lyrics started to come to me quickly but I’d never been to the studio until I met a rapper who goes by the name of YNW Melly,” and I helped him spiritually while he helped me naturally, I recorded my first song in 2018 and by the end of 2019 I was featured on his major-label album and I have lots more coming very soon, I currently have four music videos out and songs on all platforms wit nonstop art to follow it.

Chase Pinckney

I am a 25-year-old with a background in all things creative. I grew up in Stone Mountain, GA and went to Tucker High school. But since then, I have moved all over the place. I attended Temple University in Philadelphia, PA for undergrad, where I got a bachelor’s degree in Advertising. I later moved back to Atlanta to obtain my master’s degree in Creative Business leadership from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD-Atlanta Campus) and lived in the West End area. Now I currently reside in Brooklyn, NY but have been staying in Kirkwood for the last few months during the pandemic. Like I said earlier my background is in all things creative. My main interest in the creative world is working with artists to build their brands and showcase their work. But in my spare time, I have dabbled in photography, modeling, branding, curating, and most recently, blogging has been added to the list. I started modeling in college and have done a few small shows and portfolio shoots. But in my time in Atlanta, I have modeled in both the Bronner Bros Hair Show and the Taliah Waajid World Natural Hair Show. Read more>>

Ben Etter

I was uprooted pretty early in life and grew up between Europe and the U.S., living and touring in bands on both sides of the Atlantic through my twenties. Somehow, I ended up in Atlanta to work on an album in 2o11 at Matthew J. Goldman’s Glow In The Dark studios and just kept coming back to this weird and inspiring city. It was through my work as an artist in the studio that I discovered my passion for record production and I was lucky to learn a lot from the producers and engineers around me in the beginning. When I finally settled in Atlanta in 2013, I continued this journey from the other side of the glass. First as an intern in different studios around town, eventually working my way up from assistant to chief engineer at producer Ben Allen’s Maze Studios in Reynoldstown. Today I’m working as an independent record engineer, producer and mixer for artists from all over the globe, primarily out of my private studio in East Atlanta, with Maze Studios as my home base for tracking.

Taylor Jones

I started out in 2019, always knowing that I wanted to start a business somewhere in the cosmetic industry. I also just wanted to make some money for myself since I was young and I’m all bout being a Girl/woman with your own money that is very important to me. It’s just that Queen Mentality in me. I’m always figuring out what I could do better or more of. I didnt want to be just another cosmetic business. I wanted to stand out. So that’s when I turned to cosmetic wholesaling, which is basically helping other small businesses start their business by making bulk in products for them to resell. It has not been even a year yet and I have grown tremendously with 22k followers right now and my one-year mark is March 1, 2021. Read more>>

Sean Beeks

I’m from Atlanta, Georgia, Born and raised in the city of Decatur. Music has literally been in my blood since I can remember from getting little things such as drums, keyboards, and microphones for Christmas. From a young age, my love for music continued to show. I was the kid rapping and singing all the songs on the radio. I started writing raps by the age of seven and recording my first song and burning my first CDs by 13. I started on SoundCloud like most and continued pushing for years. It wasn’t until my high school years until I first started getting a good amount of listeners. By the end of Highschool, I had a pretty decent support statist locally. Nothing huge but definitely something to start off with. I was continuously topping myself and was ready to get the ball. It wasn’t until now I noticed I had to probably go to college because that’s what every “successful” person does and I’m pretty sure that’s what my grandparents expected me to do. So I went for something I knew nothing about except the pay… Computer Science. Eventually, I dropped out after the first semester to do what I was really meant to be doing. Not even a whole month after I dropout, I go viral on Twitter for my decision. It was seen by over 2,100,000 people. Of course, the publicity came with a lot of hate, but more importantly, it came with a lot of love. Read more>>

Yayi Osuntoyin Durrah

I am the CEO of Hood Ritualz & Beauty LLC. I am a Priestess, Rootworker, Diviner, Licensed Esthetician, Nail Tech. I perform several services, as well as handcraft my own products independently, sanitarily, and effectively in small batches. Sounds fun, huh? Well, let me tell you how I got here. Yes, it’s dramatic, sad but also beautiful! I grew up with many hardships- starting at birth. My birth was a complicated one, in which apparently I almost did not make it. The Doctor tore a ligament in my arm, severing the nerves as well trying to hurriedly remove me from my moer’s womb. I said that to say that was the start of my spiritual journey. I have been a seer since I was a child and in lifetimes before. I would dream things and it would happen, say things and it would happen, as a youth. In high school I started Astro-traveling without knowing what I was doing. However, these gifts were activated in this lifetime by trauma. I was molested as a child by family members and experienced rape later on. Read more>>

Najee Winder

I’ve always had dreams and aspirations of becoming an entrepreneur. However, it took me some time to figure out exactly where I wanted to go with it. During my first semester of college at Kennesaw State University, I was really putting a lot of thought into how I can achieve this goal until it finally clicked to me: I’ve always had a huge interest in art. Whether it was through drawing, painting, sculpting, etc., art class was pretty much the only class that gained 100% of my interest. In addition to being artistically inclined, I also had a major interest in tattoos. I got my first tattoo at 15 years old. With that being said, around November 2019, the idea of becoming a Tattoo Artist came to mind. Initially, I couldn’t really picture myself making that happen as I kept thinking about the negative aspects of tattooing. I lacked confidence and was afraid of putting myself in a position where if something were to go wrong, the blame would be on me. Eventually, I brought up the idea to my Mom, who strongly encouraged me to pursue this career and even gifted me my first ever tattoo machine for Christmas 2019. Read more>>

Keana Brewster

I’ve always drawn or painted to preoccupy my mind ever since I was little. My mom always kept some type of arts or crafts around so that was always my go-to. She and others noticed I had a talent but to me, it was always just a hobby. My mom tried to get me to go to the school of fine arts but I didn’t want them to waste money on me because it was super expensive to apply. I didn’t think I was creative enough or good enough and didn’t want to disappoint anyone. I dumped dreams of being an architect or fashion designer for hopes of becoming a nurse. As much as I loved that idea, let’s just say that wasn’t it for me either. Then I turned to HR (Human Resources) and eventually got the degree but I must of missed some steps along the process because I couldn’t get the job! Not feeling fulfilled or finding “success” in my field really hurt. Through all of this, I was still practicing art and experimenting with different techniques each year. This all worked in my favor when I realized I could no longer continue working jobs that didn’t fulfill my purpose. I was mentally, physically and spiritually ill. Read more>>

I’m originally from a small Caribbean island called St.Lucia. I’ve always loved art for as long as I could remember. I started off sketching Marvel and Dragon Ball Z as a kid and then graduated to watercolor paintings. However, once I attended college, my focus shifted to the sciences. After I graduated, I started working in my field, but I’ve always wanted to get back into art. In 2018, I applied to teach sip n paint classes in my free time, then eventually started doing my own private events. It was at that point I found out about the art scene in Atlanta, and I knew it was something I wanted to do. I did my first art show in 2019 and loved it. I’ve met some amazing people, and now we have our own art events. Read more>>

Franceska Sparkle and Lady Starr

Little did we know the obstacles that would lie ahead and soon we would be divorced and raising our children as singles moms. Our mission has been trying to make sure that single moms have access to the everyday things that they need to provide for their children. Such as gas for their cars to get to and from work. Food, even a microwave if needed. We want to arm our single moms, some may be teen moms, much like Franceska was her self. These women need assistance while in college or at work. A lot of these women even have been in domestic violence situations like we have been. Partners, not projects, teach women to know the difference between a partner who is here to provide partnership and a project relationship that takes away from you. Read more>>

Zan Sanders

I started my business about a year and a half ago now and what’s so crazy is before then, you would never catch me in the kitchen cooking anything. I always thought I didn’t have the patience and I remember I made some Rotel dip for my family one day and I forgot to drain the meat LMFAO it was so oily and my family made sure to bring that up anytime I attempted to cook anything after that so I made sure I stayed up out the kitchen lol. It wasn’t until I met my boyfriend and realized we were spending entirely too much money eating out so I decided I was gonna give cooking another try. I made a creamy garlic chicken on top of a bed of white jasmine rice and some asparagus and it was delicious! Me and my boyfriend were shocked at how good it was. After that, I began cooking more and more and realized that not only could I cook pretty damn good but I actually had a passion for it. The more things I cooked, the more I surprised myself. I would post whatever I made for dinner on my Instagram story and everyone would bombard my dm’s like, “you need to sell plates!” because they got tired of me teasing them lol eventually, they convinced me to make an Instagram just for my food.

Victoria Bush

Haus Fashion and online women’s boutique was launched this past June 2020. I wanted to gift myself with something for my 25th birthday… so why not a whole business? (during a pandemic) I started prepping Haus Fashion a year before that and planning and strategizing on what I wanted in my own brand. Fashion has been a huge part of who I am… I remember being in private school and always feeling like my freedom was stripped from me because of my uniform so I always tried to add “flair” to my boring button-up along with khaki pants. Oh boy! It was tragic… But then on the other hand, I was also a dance kid and I got to wear some of the most elegant costumes with Swarvoski crystals and all the frill you could imagine. Growing up, styles fade in and out… but when I thought about it and my brand, I wanted to create FASHION, not just styles that can be worn and forgotten. Read more>>

Its actually kinda funny how I got into it. Back in 2017, I would se pictures of my favorite athletes/entertainers and was like, why can’t I do that? Luckily my birthday was around the birthday and I had to ask for a camera for my birthday and sure enough, I got one. This journey on photography has been a wild one to say the least, with lots of downs and ups… I’m thankful for them all. To me, learning something doesn’t come as natural/easy as it would for others. So for myself, I’m a hands-on learner and has to do something a thousand times for me to get it right. Honestly, YouTube is the reason why I’m this far along in my journey. They have a ton of free info on anything you want to learn, but here is the trick you have to apply what you learn to get it down right. It just takes time, some peoples pace are going to be faster than yours, but that’s fine. You gotta keep your head down and keep going. Read more>>

Tony Rouse

My story starts in 2012 at Neiman Marcus Atlanta when I was contracted on a branding project for a French Parfum House to increase in-store sales, brand affinity and overall awareness. I am happy to report that we more than tripled their sales during my time on the project and also found new inventive ways to introduce the product via packaging and innovation. What I would later realize that it was my time in “Fragrance Land,” as I would come to call it, next to the titans of industry, including Tom Ford, Clive Christian and Creed that the seed was planted that, “Hey… I could do this.” But this was only a buried seed as I completed the project to favorable reviews and that was that. Flash forward four years and I found myself wanting to build a hotel, but I realized I had one simple problem… I didn’t have any hotel money. Especially not for what I wanted and so I prayed about it and asked God what I needed to do. I believe wholeheartedly in verse from the Bible, James 1:5, which says that any man that lack wisdom let him ask God of it, who freely gives it… and that’s exactly what I did. I figured I didn’t know, but He did. Read more>>

Shamya Jones

I always knew I wanted to “be my own boss.” Towards the end of my first semester of senior year, my sister granted me an opportunity to sell merchandise of hers in my local area. It was then when I had an idea to start a jewelry business. Unfortunately, between school and work, I didn’t have much time to mold and water my ideas. However, in March 2020, when we all got the news that we will have to quarantine for a few months, I started my business plan. I did not know where to start so I started looking at videos and reading to learn what is really important/the steps I needed to take to become an entrepreneur. I began to develop my brand/website and officially launched my business on August 1, 2020. Today my business is slowly but surely growing. I’ve had the opportunity to have sold over 20 orders within these few months with recurring customers. Read more>>

Isis Shaw

My story is a little different from your typical dancer. I’ve always loved to dance. However, I didn’t actually start taking classes until my freshman year of college. When applying for college, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to major in but I knew that it had to deal with some type of art. I loved music and I loved performing. At that time of my life, I didn’t really know what route I wanted to go in but I knew the joy that dance brought me, so I decided to go for it. After getting accepted into FAMU, I found out that they would no longer offer dance as a major. Therefore, I had to find something else so I decided to major in theatre performance. I felt that it was the closest to dance that I would get. Now looking back, that was the best decision that I’ve ever made. I’ve always felt the dance was my passion but it wasn’t until I began fully pursuing it, that I learned it was my purpose. Read more>>

Jeron Coleman

I started my business in 2018 and it was called “Garden City Lawn and Landscaping,” and we did good the first year but in 2019, one of my closet friends passed from gun violence and we decided to change the name of the company to “Brie’s Lawn & Landscaping.” My brother also came home from prison and I made him the co-founder of the business so he would give him the opportunity to do something different and want to be limited to his success. We have made a tremendous jump from last year to this year. We want to make an even bigger impact in business and the community by giving back with different ideas such as turkey drives, giveaways, grants for business and servicing all clients and future clients one yard at a time.

Jasming Jackson

My passion for art has always been a big thing in my life. It helped me escape a lot of challenges I had faced growing up. Once that pencil touch that paper, my creative thoughts began to flow out. Everything around me didn’t matter at that point. I would draw or paint for hours until my mind was ready to rest. As I got older, I began to think about having my own style. I enjoyed drawing my favorite cartoon characters, but I didn’t want to keep drawing somebody else’s creations. I wanted to create my own and let them be whatever I wanted them to be. So fast-forwarding to 1/23/2018, that’s when Namelss was born. Namelss is my everything. My characters are beautiful, weird, dope, awkward and that’s me to be honest. It got to a point I started to feel comfortable to share my artwork on social media, and the love I got from others was amazing. I recently had a popup shop and released my online store, which has my paintings, clothing, art prints, stickers etc. I’m at a point in my life that I have so many goals to achieve, and I’m ready to see where this chapter will take me.

De’ Yana Maree Wagner

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, and growing up in Michigan, afforded the opportunity of establishing relationships and being able to capitalize on what both cities have to offer. Modeling and acting was introduced to me at the age of seven. Growing up with a talented mother such as my own is no surprise, I chose to build a platform that focuses on creative expression. Throughout the years, I walked in many fashion shows for top designers, as well as booking commercial shoots & short films. I participated on the hit show America’s Next Top model, advancing to the top 20. I relocated to Atlanta, GA to further pursue my journey. I shifted my focus to behind the camera, offering runway classes, directing photoshoots and coordinating fashion shows. Although I find passion in many things outside of engaging in the creative arts and spending time with close family and friends, what brings me the most joy is the act of giving and volunteering in the community.

I remember drawing things as an elementary student. My friends and I use to have contests almost everyday. We were competing against each other to see who could replicate the image the best. As I moved through middle school and high school, my parents encouraged me to continue to draw so I did. I won several shows in high school and was inspired by my high school art teacher to pursue a career in the visual arts. As an undergraduate, I was challenged to begin to create abstract work. Initially, I was not a huge fan of working in an abstract manner, but as time went on I begin to like it more and more. Today I enjoy the challenge of creating each piece of work. My work focuses on social issues that impact people. My art is like my microphone to the people. Read more>>

I worked in retail for several years, selling men’s clothing. Over time I began to realize that customers had become completely dependent upon my recommendations on clothing before they would purchase them. It made me realize that it wasn’t the store that brought value to me, but it was I who brought value to the store. I decided to move on from working for someone else and jumped into entrepreneurship. When I started, I was solely online, then I started doing home consultations and now I am preparing for the grand opening of my clothier. I got to where I am today by a lot of sweat equity and turning the suit buying process into an experience rather than a basic transaction. Read more>>
