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

Hi Natasha L., let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
The fear of the unknown and achieving God’s purpose for my life drives and inspires me. What can I achieve if I keep God first, eliminate negative forces and self-doubt, apply the natural talents and skills I have amassed over the years, and utilize my network for the betterment of all humankind? How can my vision light a path of opportunity for others and make our community a great place to live, work, and play? An inquiring mind wants to know!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
twelve21 is a public relations boutique founded to develop, advise, and educate our clients about the value of public relations. What sets twelve21 apart is our creative approach to strategic communication, unique ability to create mutually beneficial partnerships with various entities, and design new and innovative programs to educate, entertain, and build and maintain community pride.

twelve21 continues to press forward and establish a solid reputation for delivering innovative, results-driven services in a timely fashion. We are growing one client at a time, and we appreciate those who’ve retained our services and recommended twelve21 to others.

This journey hasn’t been easy, as we rely on clients and community partners to provide us with an opportunity to work on their behalf or believe and invest in the programs we desire to create and implement for the betterment of the community.

What keeps me motivated is I enjoy what I do, and I am good at it! It took me a while to say that! It is rewarding to see our clients pleased with their results. twelve21 lives for that gold star of approval! 🙂

As I continue on this journey, I want to encourage everyone reading this to
A. Become to be a life learner. Seek expert advice.
B. Invest in yourself. You are the brand.
C. Ask for feedback and make adjustments.
D. Partner with other firms. Remember, sometimes you are stronger together.
E. Maintain high ethical standards. Integrity is important.
F. Establish an excellent work ethic. In a nutshell, do what you say you are going to do!
G. Lastly, be friendly, respectful, and have a great personality. People want to work with people they like! Tell the truth and shame the devil! 🙂

Lastly, I want to encourage the world to get it right the first time and give twelve21 a try.

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.
If my bestie were visiting Atlanta, we would start our morning with a walk around Piedmont Park. Next, we are off to Downtown Atlanta to tour CNN Center (I interned there) and the other top attractions ending with a ride on the Sky-View Ferris wheel. Next, lunch at the Sun Dial Restaurant Bar (I clearly like heights). Now, as the trip progresses, my friend and I will experience more of the local flavor, adding a whole lot of trap music! Lol!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to give a shout-out to everyone who has sown a seed in my life. Whether it’s a meal, a place to stay, a shoulder to cry on, a connection, a recommendation, a referral, a contract, a compliment, an out-of-the-blue nice gesture, to a Facebook post, I am truly blessed to have people in my life that have a strong desire to see me win. The people God has blessed me with invest their time, energy, effort, and resources to support me spiritually, emotionally, and professionally and champion my philanthropic efforts. God may not give you what you want, but he definitely provides you with what you need.

Note: I know they all want me to make it because I promised everyone a trip when I do! Lol!
