Meet Destiny | Creator of A Tribute to Black Art

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

Hi Destiny, how does your business help the community?
A Tribute to Black Art (ATTBA) allows all aspects of the community to come together to empower, celebrate, and support each other—performers, black-owned businesses, and the marginalized.

As a benefit concert, the performers are the face of the show and it is a joy to be able to showcase talented individuals and help grow their platforms. We also create a market space where the community can purchase directly from black businesses. And at the core, we seek to amplify the voices of the marginalized to empower them and ensure basic needs are met.

Every aspect of A Tribute to Black Art is about community…it’s by the community for the community.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’ve never looked at myself as a creative. It has been because of my community and their outpouring of love, truth, and support that I’ve learned to see myself more clearly.

1) I got into spoken word because of my freshman roommate in college, and it became a beautiful way for me to express my struggles and fears and passions. 2) I began producing A Tribute to Black Art and other events because of my churches recognizing and uplifting my gift of event production. 3) I began writing because a friend vulnerably shared his writings online teaching me that I could do the same. 4) Print collateral design started from teachers and mentors that introduced me to marketing.

Every element of who I am as a creative is because of my community, and it is their support and love for art as well that fuels my own.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I just recently bought a home in Marietta and have been falling in love with this city. Because of that, a definite item on the itinerary is Marietta Square—brunch at Stockyard, visiting shops in the square, and then grabbing boba tea at Tiny Bubbles. In the evening, we’d drive into the city, walk along the beltline, and grab dinner at Bar Taco at Inman Park. I know people hate 285 but driving along that highway at night and seeing the ATL city skyline is one of my favorite things.

The next day, we’d do coffee and breakfast at my favorite spot, Sessions Stand and then prepare to host an infamous game night at my place with friends.

Then church the next morning at North River Church of Christ which has become a home where I’ve made lifelong friends who’ve profoundly impacted my walk with God.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Noelle Broyles has profoundly shaped the way I see community and what it looks like to serve. It’s not simply about “serving the needy,” but about restoring sight so we can see everyone’s inherent dignity and empowering those we get to see more clearly.

She teaches me that life is about planting SEEDS…to SEE people and Do Something. In planting SEEDS, my generosity isn’t blind volunteerism, it’s compassionate, present, and engaging. That is the goal of Attribute to Black Art and that is the goal of how I seek to interact with family, friends, neighbors, and strangers.
