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

Hi Roosevelt, what are you inspired by?
This is going to seem really simple but life itself inspires me. There is not an element of life that doesn’t provide me with some level of motivation or inspiration. From the love of my life, my wife to our child to my own personal failures to working out or being among God in nature to studying scripture listening to music or watching sports every element of life provides me with some level of inspiration. Even this interview inspires me.

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.
The way I see life, everything is art. The way in which we think, speak and move is all unique and an expression of who and what we are. My brand Rose 2 Akhieve every word has a greater meaning designed to inspire. The word Rose not only represents the beauty of the actual flower but He who Rose for us represents Jesus Christ. The number 2 represents the verse Matthew 18:20 when there are two or more gathered in His name He is present among them. Then the K in Akhieve represents God’s Kingdom that we are all stewards of.

The logo in the shape of a rose with the word rose embedded and the stem as the number two is art itself that requires a deeper look which is what life often requires to achieve. I believe that every step of my life, not just professionally, has required me to look deeper into myself to focus more or work harder to get where I am today. With that said no it has not been easy and oftentimes it isn’t easy as mentally I battle self doubt and my own expectations of doing more and being better each day. I honestly overcome these challenges through my faith, deep self reflections, and talking to people I trust to provide sometimes tough but honest feedback.

Within self reflection I have learned to understand you truly do not achieve anything in life alone and to truly achieve anything it requires support from others either directly or indirectly.

I want people to know most about me is that my faith has honestly provide

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?
Iron sharpens Iron and I am actually in the process of planning a guys trip here to Atlanta for some of my friends who are spread across the country. There are so many places in the surrounding area and Atlanta that are a must. To start with food which I love so much I would take them to Glitz Bunch Bar in Douglasville, Baltimore Seafood on Cascade Road, T’s Brunch bar on Peachtree, Arize Breakfast Cafe in Camp Creek, The Dwarf House in Hapeville and so many other spots. If they’re looking for a time out we could check out Peter street, Little Five points or Auburn Ave. or the Battery but with my guys we would have to hit up a hike up Stone Mountain and the Beltline and my new found favorite Arabia Mountain Range. Then go to one of the indoor go-kart tracks either andretti or K1 in Kennesaw or maybe both and of course experience the Porsche Experience. Depending on the time of the year any of the sports teams from ATL United to a Braves or Hawks game and we may as well hit up one of the surrounding outlets and end it with a visit to Elizabeth Baptist Church on Cascade Road.

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?
When creating my brand I really wasn’t sure if I just wanted to create a brand that would be dedicated to my faith. Not only did my life group at Elizabeth Baptized Church encourage me to do so but through our bible study I identified the bible verse that encapsulate Rose 2 Akhieve which is 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms”. I would also like to mention that my wife is a part of this life group.
