I know I may be late… but Is there a study that shows how party promotions have sustained restaurants, hotels, and venues? Specifically black-led programming? Because if we’re being real… the rooms get filled, the bars stay moving, and the spaces stay relevant because of who’s bringing people in. Atlanta has no shortage of promoters. But here’s the truth: promoters and hospitality groups are not the same. Promoters: – Focus on the night – Drive a moment – Move crowd for an event Hospitality groups: – Build ongoing programming – Understand the business behind the venue – Create consistency, retention, and brand alignment – Think beyond one night to long-term sustainability The shift is necessary. Because venues don’t just need a crowd… they need strategy, consistency, and partners who understand how to build an experience over time. The opportunity for sustainability is: Promoters evolving into hospitality groups—and venues recognizing the difference. That could equate to bigger contracts and a share in the business. That’s where the real growth and sustainability is. #Atlanta #HospitalityIndustry #ProgrammingStrategy #CreativeEconomy buildwithinten

ATL didn’t just host a press conference—we set the tone. This was just round two. Thank you to Mayor @andreforatlanta and @atlantaoca Executive Director @adrianevjefferson for trusting me and the great team I get to work with to execute a vision that’s bigger than a moment. @atlculturehouse is a signal of where Atlanta is going—and who it’s making room for. As Mayor Dickens said, “We want to make sure that the World Cup happens with Atlanta and not Atlanta. This is how we make Atlanta a city of opportunity for all.” That’s the mandate. And let’s be clear—this is not a pop-up. This is infrastructure. A permanent cultural platform built to create access, visibility, and opportunity—well beyond FIFA. Proud to step into this role as Executive Producer and build with some incredible creatives! @dona_uncensored - Associate Producer @bwrightous x @dericthedesigner - Marketing / Branding @lifeaskeisha - PR (You rocked it yesterday ❤️) @shaniciaboswell - Social Media Strategy @brendanicolemoorer / Brand Partnership manager at @atlantaoca 📸: @bobmackeyphotography We’re not waiting for global attention—we’re defining it. #ATLCultureHouse #CultureByDesign #Atlanta2026 #CreativeEconomy FIFAWorldCup CityOfAtlanta

Because the goal isn’t just to love what you do… it’s to live from it. Had the opportunity to speak at AwareFest @awarefestival created by @robertfredericksmith about what it really takes to turn purpose into profit. Thank you to my co-panelists @mr2weeksout @misslawrence and @paigeshari for a powerful conversation on what it really means to start from nothing and build something that pays you back. Still building. More to come 🫶🏾

I’ve kept this one under wraps… intentionally. For the past few months, I’ve been working with @atlantaoca to build something bigger than an event — a cultural platform designed to put Atlanta on the global stage during the FIFA World Cup 2026. Introducing: ATL Culture House @atlculturehouse Produced by @atlantaoca And today, we are opening it up. We are now accepting programming concepts from cultural producers, curators, and organizations who are ready to create experiences that actually move people. We are looking for work that is intentional, well thought out, and rooted in culture:
• Conversations that shift perspective
• Music that moves the room
• Fashion that tells a story
• Storytelling that feels real and necessary
 This isn’t about filling space. It’s about building something that represents Atlanta the right way — in front of the world. If you’ve been waiting for the right platform to show up with purpose… this is it. Applications are now open.
