Meet Katina Cunningham: CEO & Founder
We had the good fortune of connecting with Katina Cunningham and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Katina, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
Success is who we become in the life process.
I would like to think that for the time that we grace the earth that our lives will have meant more than just a big-ticket item. We all like nice things, however, true value lies in who we become as a result of collective experiences.
How resilient are you? Who did you impact on the journey? What did it teach you? Who touched your life and why? When we think of our total sum value…. and what value we add to…. Success is who you become on the journey and who you helped along the way.
What should our readers know about your business?
One of my favorite quotes by Steve jobs states: “The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.”
What readers should know about my business is that we were doing what we did long before we were incorporated. C3 Innovations LLC. provides an invaluable service to those who are impacted by innovation, technology consulting, technology education, and those who will be our successors.
Our specialty has only shown itself more needed than ever over time. The pandemic has shown just how essential technology and innovation would be and remains.
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?
Favorite Spots in the city I would take my visiting best friend to:
The Martin Luther King Jr. National Museum & Historical Park
The Historical Home of Dr. Martin Luther King
The Sites of Auburn Avenue and Civil Rights Spots
The Georgia Aquarium Six Flags Over Georgia
Two Urban Licks
Ray’s on The River
Atlanta Botanical Gardens
The Beltline
Ponce City Market.
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?
I attribute who I have become first and foremost to GOD. Next, I attribute my becoming to my parents who believed and saw who I could be. My parents believed in education, core values, and hard work. They modeled this for me and my siblings. Further, my children have taught me so much. They have blessed my life in unimaginable ways.
Bert Wiggers, my former English Educator – Hillcrest High School Mr. Bert Wiggers, who saw something that sometimes you have not grown to see yet as a young adult. I am thankful for teachers who are gateways and inspirations for the young mind. Teachers are a most essential backbone and I cannot say enough about what they truly mean to us all.
Ronnie Mabra, Founding and Managing Attorney of The Mabra Firm.
Ronnie would take the time, coach me and a few of my start up clients on business, entrepreneurial education, and what it takes to start up. He would come out to our location in Atlanta and literally make time to do talks for small business owners and those who aspire to become entrepreneurs. His advice to us is most practical and still are proven as sustaining business solutions even today. A great entrepreneurial mentor.
