Meet KeithKNOWS | Cultural Warrior

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

Hi KeithKNOWS, how does your business help the community?
KeithKNOWS.net strengthens communities by making reliable, inclusive, and culturally relevant information accessible to everyone.
Through curated resources, local event listings, community guides, and lifestyle insights, the platform helps people stay informed, connected, and empowered in their everyday lives. By highlighting diverse voices, supporting small businesses, and promoting arts, culture, and wellness, KeithKNOWS.net fosters a sense of belonging and encourages community engagement.

The site also helps bridge information gaps—especially for newcomers, marginalized groups, and residents seeking trustworthy local knowledge—ultimately contributing to a more connected, informed, and vibrant 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.
My art is storytelling—using KeithKNOWS.net to connect people through culture, community, and curated information. What sets me apart is my focus on uplifting diverse voices and helping people feel informed, included, and inspired.

I’m proud that the platform has become a trusted resource and excited that it continues to grow in ways that genuinely serve the community. The journey wasn’t always easy—there were challenges with resources, consistency, and learning new technologies—but I pushed through by staying curious, adaptable, and rooted in my purpose.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to stay authentic while embracing change. What I want the world to know is this: KeithKNOWS is built with heart. It’s more than a brand—it’s my commitment to celebrate culture, support community, and share knowledge that brings people together.

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.
Short Week-Long Atlanta Itinerary

If my best friend visited Atlanta, I’d show them a week full of culture, flavor, and community.

West End: We’d start with plant-based soul food at Soul Vegetarian & a delicious raw vegan wrap from Tassili’s, grab a fresh smoothie from Wadada’s, spend some time connecting and supporting community at The Kenekt Cooperative, shop at Afrentic and enjoy the neighborhood’s creative energy.

Downtown: Sweet treats at Eighty7Sweets Vegan Ice Cream and classic desserts from Sweet Auburn Bread Company, followed by a walk through the historic district.

Castleberry Hill: A full art day at the incredible ZuCot Gallery.

EASTside BeltLine: Tea and calm at Just Add Honey Tea Company, then a scenic Eastside BeltLine walk.

Midtown: Breakfast at Sunflower Café, a vintage treasure hunting at The Lucky Exchange followed by yummy non dairy gelato from 3Peaches.

Little Five Points + O4W: Music browsing at Moods Music, then fresh fruit and vibes at Lotta Frutta.

Greenbriar + PCM: Exploring Medu Bookstore and Densua’s Artist Market, ending with a stop at The Village Market ATL in 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’d like to dedicate my shoutout to the community that has shaped both me and KeithKNOWS.net. First and foremost, my family and close friends, whose unwavering encouragement, honesty, and love have kept me grounded and motivated through every season.

A huge shoutout also goes to the Atlanta creative community—artists, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and everyday culture builders—whose energy, talent, and real-life stories inspire much of what I share. They’ve shown me the power of collaboration, authenticity, and lifting each other up.

I also want to recognize the mentors and community leaders who poured wisdom into me, challenged me to grow, and reminded me that service is at the heart of true success. Their guidance helped shape the purpose behind KeithKNOWS.net: to inform, uplift, and connect people in meaningful ways.

Finally, a shoutout to the readers, followers, and supporters who show up, share resources, and engage with the platform. KeithKNOWS.net wouldn’t exist without a community that values knowledge, culture, and connection. They are the heartbeat of everything I do.
