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

Hi Tai’Leone, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
Sometimes, I find myself looking back and wondering should I just give it all up and move on to doing something else. Then, I think about how far I’ve come and realize that I’m no where near where I’ve started. I’ve made endless mistakes, learned from them, and decided to better myself. Life is a bunch of a tests, sometimes they repeat themselves, that’s why I always have my notebooks ready. I won’t fail and this is how I know I have to keep going. I have to!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As a creative, I tend to wear many hats. In some ways, I create the challenges that I endure, but I know it’s to make my journey even more interesting. The lessons that I’ve learned, is that we have to be prepared for life to change in an instant. The Most High removes and adds people, situations, and ideas to create for a better outcome. My brand will leave a stamp in this World when I am long gone. That’s my identity.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My favorite place that I am stanning right now is Taj Indian. It is a local restaurant here in Macon, GA and they have some of the best Vegan Cuisine. I’d follow up with some visits to my favorite parks and just truly enjoy nature and food!

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?
All praises to The Most High. He gave me the talents, the ideas, the opportunities, and the vehicle to do all that I need to do within my lifetime. All praises goes to Him.
