We had the good fortune of connecting with Jonathan Jean-baptiste and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jonathan, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
When it comes to anything in my life that gave me some difficulties I always pray to God and ask him to continue to guide me to what truly have a purpose

And I truly feel like my purpose in life is to influence the youth to follow any dream they desire

And with due time with whatever you trying to excelling, I genuinely believe that no matter what it is and how hard it gets that you shouldn’t give up on anything that you decide to take on

I truly believe that everyone should Dominate any challenge in any obstacle that is placed in front of them.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
With the talent that I was blessed with, I had different avenues of expressing my skills, but from the beginning, I’ve always known that dancing and acting was something that I truly believe I’ll excel in. i began creating content since the age of 11 years old I had a YouTube channel where I would create comedy skits, and or relatable content., and now at the age of 23 and continue to make video since then..
Something that really separates me from everybody with my Content is truly my creativity, my thought process of thinking outside the box or expressing something so relatable that people can share with their friends and family, my slogan that I like to tell people is that my constant is a “safe space for entertainment”, which means anything that I upload is meant to resonate with my viewers, and not just to be praised.
I tend to get a lot of viewers that private message me telling me how I unlocked a memory from their childhood based off my video
That I uploaded .
And so far along this way, I was able to accumulate over 1.3 million TikTok supporters, 164,000 Instagram supporters ,and over 230,000 YouTube subscribers just based off my dancing in comedy creatives alone. I’m honestly excited to reach 1 million subscribers as that Being my first initial goal when I began my journey and I know within due time it will be a pinnacle that I will reach.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
So, since moving from Miami Florida, which is where I’m originally from ,if I would have a friend to come down to Atlanta , we would definitely go to Cascade skating rate to go skate dance. Have a good time probably record concert in there also, with it being notorious, for it’s scenes in the movie ATL so I really feel like that’s a hotspot. A lot of non-Atlanta natives should visit , some other spot I would definitely take them to visit is Museum of illusions the battery and also Atlantic Station..,food spots are a must first place id probably take them is 77 flavors of wings, im big on wings 1 of my favorite meals , 77 flavored wings is probably the most diverse wing spot I ever visited

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?
Uh yess , this one is going to be lengthy but ….First and foremost, I would like to thank, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ without him there will be no me ,I would like to take my mother Marjorie

My siblings and all of my family members.

I would like to thank my drama teacher Jean and Ms.smith for giving me a place to perfect my craft

And my dance organization ain’t no Chill ENT leader mark Nicholas
