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.

Savannah’s beautiful historic charm and downtown lifestyle was a deciding factor for us to make Savannah’s our home. After purchasing and renovating several downtown properties, I found my true passion in real estate. These experiences led to a shift in my career path, without hesitation, with Engel and Volkers. Here I have been fortunate in working alongside some of the best in the business and becoming very familiar with the various locations throughout the low country. I believe that living your best lifestyle begins with the right home. Read More>>

I am grateful to have grown tremendously during the last few years, even though each spurt brings its own challenges – assembling the right team when more manpower is required, taking on larger warehouses for fulfilling orders, and managing more people as the team and projects grow. We want to deliver excellence in any endeavor we take on, and the biggest challenge is knowing when to say “no” in what we’re calling our “Yes” Era. Read More>>

Pursuing my passion has not been easy at all. People don’t value art like they should. You end up getting a lot of people to steer you away from anything art related as a career. I been pulled out of chorus classes for the sake of being something considered “valuable”. Things like being a doctor or a lawyer. I struggled with the confidence aspect to because of this. I had moments where I felt like I was wasting my time. Read More>>

After about 11 years in private practice, I decided to go back to Middlesex University and get my honors degree in science. During Covid, I moved my practice to FaceTime and saw patients remotely on telehealth and I continue to do so as I have patients from all over the world, many, who are in fashion and travel a lot. I really love my job and run a wellness practice and my main goal is for people to see me for wellness after I get them better from their initial symptoms! Read More>>

Taking a step back, I began to experiment with different crafts, eventually discovering my passion for candle making. For a few years, I made candles on and off, but about five years ago, I truly immersed myself in the craft. As my creations piled up, my friends and family could no longer accept any more candles, and my home started resembling a candle factory. My husband suggested I either take a break or turn my passion into a business, which led to the birth of “Candles & More by Christi.” Read More>>

The job became quite rewarding.I felt like I was becoming part of something bigger, im capturing history of someone else’s story to look back on when they’re older, something that their kids kids can look back on how they looked in their younger days, photos that I took will be on every graduation t shirt, social media post, invitations of their graduation moment walking across that stage. Starting out with the parents not trusting me to bringing the last baby of the bunch to take their pictures. It made me feel good… I wanted to do more. So branched out on my own and started doing other monumental photos like birthdays, family photoshoots weddings and anniversaries, engagements, any kind of pictures you needed I would do it.

As years passed I started to fall out of love with drums and deeper into audio engineering. I started to mix and master records, record records, mix live shows, and do church installs and tune ups. I’ve also gotten into Executive producing. I’ve been doing it behind the scenes for years but recently started to actually claim the title outwardly. Read More>>

Yeah it definitely is, but I felt like I had to do something instead of laying around doing nothing. It was a bumpy road though. I wasn’t allowed to break the wooden boards with my feet for about a year so they introduced me to an alternative method on how to break them without causing pain to my heels. It definitely helped relieve some of the pain but it was still painful at the end of the day. It didn’t stop me though, and I continued with taekwondo until I earned my Black belt. Read More>>

I’m starting up my business while in beauty school to help others feel beautiful and confident inside and out. I want to help make a difference and help to see beautiful smiles and happiness in other’s faces. If it wasn’t for my mom, my brothers and sisters, my nana, my aunt’s and uncles, cousins and members of my church supporting me to follow my dreams, then I probably wouldn’t be the young lady that I am today.

The road definitely hasn’t been easy. People that haven’t seen my whole process assume that all of this happened over night, but it’s actually taken years to get my brand to where it is today. Took a lot of accountability on my part, getting inspired all over again, and more to push myself along with my brand to the next level. Read More>>

I would go there up to five times a week if I could. I watched everything there. I would just go alone. I think I prefer to see movies that way. Also I would sneak into theaters at my job when we weren’t busy or if I was on my lunch break. I think this saved me in a lot of ways in high school. I really struggled socially, and it was hard for me to feel like I fit in with others. Movies sort of became my escape from all that. So was dance honestly. It helped me express myself in ways that words couldn’t. Read More>>

I was so elated I told her I would pray about it and get back with them. After praying and getting some advice I went for the opportunity of a lifetime. I did not have a grant or loans so i finances the program out of pocket. It took blood sweat and many tears. My mom was my biggest cheerleader. The saddest thing is she passed in 2021 and never got to see the end of the process. In January 2022 Dunamis Health Care Academy was finally birthed. Read More>>

We are grateful for the support of our Tybee community and look forward to serving delicious meals and creating lasting memories for years to come! Read More>>

I grew up in a small town called Kingsland, Ga. When I was 6 years old I thought about becoming a singer. Would always be singing with my radio instead of doing my school studies. Ever since then I always wanted to pursue acting, singing, or modeling. Moved out to Atlanta and became a model and got to network with alot of models and photographers. Also got to work on alot of movies and TV shows sets. Currently as of now am releasing an album called SENTIMIENTOS with a collaborating artist named ATRIEL. Read More>>

Now that, I fully accept my Dharma (Purpose); Teaching is how I serve others and myself. Not knowing your purpose or Dharma can lead you astray. Although, I remained a public school teacher for 25 years, I did other things that required educating others. And as I reflect on those other pursuits, I can honestly say, I am more fulfilled while teaching and sharing information. Read More>>

Never ever been big on sales, but I am a people person. Also I have a flare for fashion and making people look good. After having dinner at a Korean restaurant, Merissa asked if I would check out an opportunity call because of my personality and service to people. Joined a call and it made sense to me this time around. I decided to use the word ” Bauble” in my business because it is a small trinket or piece of jewelry. I signed up for the $99 dollar bundle in April 2021 and register my business ” Baubles of Bling and Glam ” in the Peach state in May 2022 Read More>>

After all, I had dedicated the better part of my childhood to serving the same religious organization that turned its back on me when I needed it most. When I came back to church, I resumed my position as pianist & spent the next 30 years serving and eventually being promoted to the title: Minister of Music. During that time I’d finished college, gotten married, and given birth to 3 more children. I worked in social services & counseling before changing careers & becoming a teacher. Read More>>
