I read my own book, ‘Living around dangerous human predators and how to survive them’. I taught myself how to survive predators that come from all walks of life. I like it because I wrote it myself. Read More>> 

Stuart Hasson

My legacy will live on, hanging on the walls of my clients’ homes. I don’t care if they remember me, but it’s tremendously important that they hold their family close, in their memories, with beautiful portraits to help them remember. Read More>>

Bringing people joy and love truly makes me happy. Whether it’s curating a musical experience through DJing, using my voice on the mic, or guiding a movement practice on the yoga mat, I feel happiest when I’m creating moments that make others smile and feel good. I believe one of my purposes in life is to spread love and joy using my gifts—to help people unplug from the chaos of the world, reconnect with themselves, and be fully present with the people and experiences that matter. Seeing others light up in those moments fills me with deep gratitude and happiness. Read More>>

One thing about the film industry that outsiders don’t know about is just how much commitment it takes to see a project through from start to finish. It’s a wild ride that demands constant energy and the ability to adapt when unexpected problems pop up—way tougher than I ever thought it would be. Along the way, I faced a bunch of challenges that really tested my determination and creativity. But even with all the time it took, the whole experience turned out to be very eye-opening for me. It’s definitely one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in my creative career so far, and it totally changed how I see the art of storytelling in ways I never expected. Read More>> 

The ToNe Atlanta

Well, where I am from is in my name, Atlanta. To be specific, East Atlanta: Moreland Ave, Cloverdale Dr, Powell Ct, Lomita Dr, David Dr (that’s Forest Park) just to give a few references of my roots. Some would say the, “Ghetto” some would say the Hood, but I’ve learned that everyone has different points of view, and to me, it’s Home. It gave me my soul, my passion, my grit, my hustle, it gave me a sense being. So, that’s why I put it in my name: “the ToNe Atlanta” Read More>>
