Sundiata Jefferson of Atlanta,GA. on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We recently had the chance to connect with Sundiata Jefferson and have shared our conversation below.

Good morning Sundiata , we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
My business in my photography I do. I’m a freelance independent contract photographer, I really am a street photographer truth be told, honestly. My favorite part about being a freelancer I can pick however much time and effort into it on any category. It’s a great process of building connections, and seeing things differently to new environments as a freelance photographer too..

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello, my name is Sundiata Jefferson I’m a freelance independent contract photographer. My brand and organization is called “SunFunFlicks” come with the sun and enjoy the fun. About me wise: I started this photography business in year 2021, I started aspects of nature from the very beginning, then I tried other opportunities like buildings, people, and private events based on how I approach this world now: far as my story: I come from a background from Atlanta, Georgia pretty much all my life. I’ve learned that the South really does have storytelling like from the famous group “OutKast” or any famous artists out here. But pretty much my brand is photography, I’m really a street photographer honestly like if you ever take the time to actually sit down with me seeing my own work on frames of the timeline of street photos I want you to really feel what everyday reality is instead of the glitz, the reality is where I show today behind it’s eyes most people that need to see today and everyday as well.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My creator the Most High. He’s always gonna be first in any region of how we are now today, he’s the real reason why he sees me, created me, gave me this gift of many gifts as well so I truly acknowledge and praise him very well so as well and his son alongside. So many things have happened in my testimony in life that I had no choice to rely on him and his son first alongside too.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Tint. There. Is. No. Tomorrow. What’s giving up? My favorite superhero is a blind man and he’s a lawyer and attorney during the day, and at night he’s fighting crime in Hell’s Kitchen New York City defending his playground. Matthew Murdock “Daredevil” is where I really don’t believe in giving up at all his father “Jack Murdock” he was a boxer and every-time he felt like just giving up, Matt would be up endless hours watching his dad take on blow after blow and say “We are Murdock’s we never give up.” That gave me a fuel seeing that happened. Plus here’s another example too, Matt got trained by a blind man and his name was “Stick” that was his mentor, father after Matt’s dad got murdered by Wilson Fisk. But listen, tint. There. Is. No. Tomorrow.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
Family oriented structure. Family is all you got pretty much you got in this lifetime. Nowadays people are so structured to really have hatred in this world over small little things, but family that’s a bond you can truly acknowledge and admire because they’ll always support you no matter what.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. When do you feel most at peace?
Having the Most High first alongside his son as well. Alongside of having my dad pushing me to keep going in my photography, my mom pushing me to keep going In photography, my siblings, my supportive community I built since 2021 in this business. It took awhile for peace to be an understanding and not a word, I use peace for a reason to be Copasetic now inside my mind, body, soul, and atmosphere into this outcome.
