We had the good fortune of connecting with Armani Walton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Armani, what do you attribute your success to?
There have been several factors that have actually evaluated my success as a LGBTQ influencer in the print modeling , brand ambassador , gay adult entertainment industry and my event hosting’s as well. First its the education that I have behind each field of work that I handle . I take the time to analyze and really study what I want to be successful in . Having a honest and non-stop work ethic that has really played a huge part in me being able to live a life that i desire as a black gay man. Staying authentic and thinking of new creative ways to keep my audience engaged in my work goes viral most of the time and allows me the opportunity to connect with other successful individuals to take my career to the next level.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What separates me from most LGBTQ content creators and influencers online is that i really showcase my true life online and I don’t hold anything back from my audience to see . As many would say I keep things REAL AND RAW I’ve never been scared to test certain limits with my fans or things they may see online. Everything I do goes viral when I model or advertise my physical attributes for brands or exclusive content. That’s something I take pride in and I’m actually proud of because it wasn’t always like this for me. Always wanted to be like this but never thought it would takeoff the way it has for me . I’m excited that I’ve been one of the few that have been able to be very marketable with the type of content I’m known to promote online. So many lessons have come along the way in the industry but the main one is to always stay true to myself and do whatever it is that makes me happy. I want the world to know that I’m a proud black gay man that is going to contunie to chase his dreams and break different barriers for content creators like myself coming into the industry.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Haha its funny because my best-friend actually lives in Atlanta , Ga but if he lived somewhere else and was visiting ATL were going to the CLUB!! No doubt about it its going to be a fun time for sure . As of restaurants Bahama Breeze OR Ruth Chris the day after partying hard in midtown . The most exciting places for gay nightlife in Atlanta would be located in midtown.
