The heart of our mission is to find the amazing souls that breathe life into our communities. In the recent weeks, we’ve had the privilege to connect with some incredible artists, creatives, entrepreneurs and rabble rousers and we can’t begin to express how impressed we are with the incredible group below.
Jacob Hunt
I was born four months premature, weighing just one pound and twelve ounces. At seven days old, I underwent heart surgery, and throughout my life I’ve faced numerous medical challenges. I grew up with only one functioning vocal cord and have lived with lung disease for as long as I can remember. Read more>>

Jenna Garwood and Hillary Germano
Jenna: I have a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from CIDA accredited Georgia Southern University. My background includes luxury residential and private aircraft interiors with Gulfstream Aerospace. Hillary: My passion for space planning and interior design began at a young age. I started out just by helping friends and family with their interior styling. Growing up, celebrations in our home were simple—if they happened at all. We lived on a farm, well below the poverty line, and milestones often passed without acknowledgment. Other kids had huge parties. Quietly, I began to believe that other children were simply worth more than I was. Then there was Aunt Lucy. Read more>>

Ilise Benun
In a nutshell, I am a business coach for creative freelancers. That means I teach freelance writers, designers and other creatives, as well as coaches and consultants – how to get better clients with bigger budgets. I didn’t study this. My degree from Tufts University is in Spanish. From there, I had two jobs. One in the fashion industry, the other in the travel industry. Read more>>
Carmen Masry
We started our restaurant Bites in the Boro with the idea of bringing a fun, laidback restaurant atmosphere that provides quality, fresh foods with a menu targeted towards today’s restaurant goers. We wanted to fill the menu with hometown comfort food items and also add in some flavors that you may not know you love until you try it! Read more>>
Abbegayle Stallons
I am a Georgia native, born in Marietta, and if I look closely enough, I can trace my career back to curiosity. I was homeschooled until my junior year of high school and when I think back to my early days, I credit my mom a lot for her remarkable way of treating creativity not as a hobby, but as a responsibility.

Hadley Ware
My story begins with my love and passion for making others look great and a love of beauty in general. (Libra personality for sure!) I am a second generation (former) Cosmetologist of over 10+ years and a former consecutive high school class president. I worked in the acting and modeling industry for almost a decade with young adults and aspiring models and actors. Read more>>
Hannah Valentine
Elev8 Pilates was inspired by a very real turning point in my life. After suffering a concussion, I struggled to return to the gym and the high-intensity workouts I had always relied on. My body simply wasn’t responding the same way, and I realized I needed movement that would help me rebuild strength without leaving me depleted or in pain. That’s when I found Pilates. Read more>>
Shaneka Johnson
My journey began through adversity, but it unfolded through restoration. After leaving an abusive relationship and returning home to Maryland, I felt disconnected from myself. One day, I told my mother I didn’t feel like who I used to be. Her response was simple: “Get dressed the way you used to. Do your hair, put on your lipstick, look in the mirror and smile. Read more>>
Jay Saxon
We have, after 20 years of making a name for our business, that we can say we have many clients who want Saxon Design Builders home, because they know they are getting the best home for their money. We know all the aspects of what makes a building, a home, instead of a house to live in. We have many repeat customers and new customers that hire us because of the “word of mouth” recommendations of past clients. Read more>>
Trisha Cook
Started selling residential real estate at the end of 2007 in a down market, which taught a great work ethic. Business increased every year until I had to make a choice to hire help. Read more>>
