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

Hi Donaldo, is there something you believe many others might not?
Working harder equals greater success, I disagree with this notion . Not because working hard or harder doesn’t exist or creates an outcome . However , working with intention leads to greater success and rewards .

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My journey into Film and Tv has not been an easy one . It’s been filled with Mountain highs and Valley lows . After all isn’t that the “reoccurring role” in everyone’s life ?However , all of those experiences along the way have given me the insight into the art of storytelling . To be able to take the vision of the Screen Writers, Producers and Actors and consolidate all those ideas and bring them to life of the screen is my greatest reward.

The greatest lesson that I’ve learned along the way is that timing is not ours but is solely the timing of the most high. Therefore , enjoy the journey for that is where the true succulent beauty of your success resonates.

I would like the world to know that if A little boy from the small village of Escobál in the Republic of Panama can make it so can anyone else .

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?
Atlanta has so many hotspots to frequent .

Let’s see we definitely have to stop by Bar Vegan in Ponce City Market . Followed by Virgil’s Gullah Kitchen and Bar in College Park had to definitely be on the itinerary.

I’m a sucker for the great outdoors so definitely a visit to one of our amazingly beautiful State Parks to hike . ( Tallulah Gorge State Park) BREATHTAKING!!!

To satisfy our taste for amazing cocktails I would say The Garden Room in the heart of Buckhead .

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
So many people, organizations as well as literary writings that have encouraged me along my journey to be who I am today . I would definitely like to thank them all for without them I would not be able to be in the position I am today .
