We had the good fortune of connecting with Mary Domino / Captain Plant.IT and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Mary Domino /, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Motion The Community was formed to transform ideas into tangible realities and share them with the world. Since we felt limited in our options, our first idea was to create a safe place to listen to the music we desired and dance like no one was watching. We personally call our events our “living room”, where creativity knows no bounds and good vibes reign supreme! This analogy was formed to help us feel free in trying new things and being ok with not doing it perfectly! The freedom that came from thinking about trying new endeavors in this way has created unforgettable memories for our team and our patrons.
We’ve since branched out to also create and support other visions including visual production of podcasts and community service events.
Our goal is and will always be to uplift, support, and embrace the ideas of our community.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Motion The Community is a vibrant collective of creatives rooted in creation and service, proudly based in Atlanta. Established in 2023, our mission is simple: to transform ideas into tangible realities and share them with the world.
We live and breathe creativity, embracing the diverse talents and passions of our members. We foster and encourage our community to learn new skills, crafts, and support each other in the process. From crafting unforgettable experiences to producing captivating videos and curating soul-stirring music, we are dedicated to bringing innovation and inspiration to every project we undertake.
We believe in collaboration over competition. Our community thrives on collaboration, fueling our collective vision to push boundaries and spark meaningful connections. With each endeavor, we strive to uplift and empower both our members and our audience, fostering a culture of inclusivity and expression.
We’ve learned the benefits of reaching outside of your immediate circle for support. Creating community with like minded people may not always be in your immediate friend group, but they are out there! It takes time, patience, and a little sprinkle of strategy to find each other. Always…ALWAYS stick to the intention. The intention will attract the right people.
Lastly, we’ve learned the value of the pivot! Just because one option doesn’t work, doesn’t equate to quitting. With collaboration and multiple minds in the room, we can always find a way to make our ideas work.
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?
A Motion The Community event of course!

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?
We dedicate this to all who have supported Motion The Community thus far! Creating ideas is no easy feat and sometimes comes with bumps in the road. Even still, we have community members who see us, our vision, our mission and continue to support. We appreciate and love you all!
