HELLZ YEA!

Jamiyl "Hellz Yea!" Adams was molded by Brooklyn, but the world has become his stage. To date, his noteworthy beats and lyrical craftiness has gotten head nods from many industry notables. For well over 10 years, production and Hip-Hop artistry has been the conduit that has ushered Hellz into life as a bourgeoning business man. One Dynasty Entertainment has fast become a one-stop shop for all artists, new and seasoned. Services include distribution, production, writing and a full studio for recording, mastering and live showcasing. Atlanta has proven to fertile ground as the company continues to grow.

Nestled in Atlanta, One Dynasty Studios has proven to be much needed and appreciated. Business has been booming, and clients appreciate the model that eliminates hourly rates and provides full song packages.

As his love for lyrics entices him, Hellz often finds himself back in the booth. Most recently he penned a masterful ode to an old favorite from the south titled Moonshine, with Mississippi producer, Avevo. Other recent projects include The Essence, and Last Night at the Dojo. 

Currently, Hellz is finalizing his much-anticipated album, The Last God and mixing and mastering for some of Atlanta’s finest talent at One Dynasty Studios.

CHEF KAREN

Nestled in the heart of the Historic Village of Stone Mountain you’ll find Sweet Potato Café. The ambiance is just as delightful as the meals and every bite is a perfect blend of seasoning and love. Chef Karen Patten is sure to sprinkles the love in abundance. Since 2011 Chef has been crafting her unique, soul fusion, farm to table meals. The fresh vegetables are often times straight from her charming on-site garden. Customers are more than intrigued by it all, they are smitten and often come back for their favorites which include; Fried Green Tomatoes, the fantastic fish on Fried Fish Fridays or the infamous Sunday Brunch. 

Its popularity and exquisite cuisine have not gone unnoticed. Sweet Potato Café has been awarded the prestigious “100 Plates Locals Love” distinction by Georgia Department of Economic Development’s Tourism Division (GDEcD) for its Fried Green Tomatoes. It was the first restaurant in Stone Mountain to be recognized by Atlanta Eats, as well as highlighted on its website. In addition, Sweet Potato Café has been featured in the AJC as a top five OTP restaurant for its Sunday brunch. 

Although Chef Karen hails from a family of chefs, it was actually preparing meals for her children that she fell head over heels in love with cooking. So much so, that she went on to receive her culinary training from Atlanta Technical College. Which was followed by five years of perfecting and honing her craft while operating a successful catering business. 

Chef Karen is a Georgia Grown member and over the years has provided cooking demonstrations at Grady Memorial Hospital for its diabetic patients. She joined First Lady Michelle Obama’s Chefs Move to Schools initiative, working with the Drew Charter School in Atlanta, and volunteered at Project Open Hands. She has also partnered with Atlanta Area Schools for the deaf, providing needed skills to students needed to work in a restaurant environment. She has also served as the President of the Stone Mountain Village Business Association.

Although being in the kitchen makes Chef Karen happy, it is her customers, many who are now called “friends”, that bring her true joy. As they continue to support her during these tumultuous times, Chef continues to create cuisine that they have come to know and love. As she shares her savory goodness the consensus is, that Sweet Potato Café knows exactly what the heart and soul needs.

DR. HEVAL

As a young Syrian Kurdish refugee washing dishes in a restaurant to support his family, Heval Kelli could not know that many years later he would be a distinguished fellow in cardiology at a university less than one mile from where his journey in the United States began.  Facing a steep language learning curve, a monthly rent payment, and mountains of dirty dishes, Heval knew things could be much worse.  He and his family fled persecution in Syria where his father was beaten and imprisoned by the pol​ice.
As members of the Kurdish minority, the family had few choices and paid a smuggler to get them out.  His family arrived in Germany in 1996 and lived in refugee camps till 2001. A circuitous route of migration finally brought them to the United States 2 weeks after the 9/11 where they were assisted by members of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in their adjustment and resettlement in Clarkston, Georgia. Through a network of caring community members, Heval was introduced to Dr. Omar Lattouf, an Emory cardiothoracic surgeon who took an interest in mentoring him through his undergraduate pre-med work at Georgia State University and his admission to Morehouse School of Medicine where he graduated cum laude and selected by his classmate as "Most Inspiring Person" award. He finished his internal medicine residency training at Emory University and received recognition as resident of the year as well as honorable distinctions in social and inpatient medicine. Dr. Kelli was awarded the Katz Foundation Fellowship in Preventative Cardiology at Emory University where he completed his cardiology fellowship in 2020. 
As a result of his life experiences, Dr. Kelli is a steadfast advocate for serving communities in need especially immigrant, refugee and minority communities.  He is a co-founder of several non-profit organizations focused on medical mentorship (Young Physician Initiative & U-Beyond) and healthcare outreach (You4Prevent).
He is the co-founder and president of the Kurdish American Medical Association, an organization focused connecting Kurdish American doctors with medical and college students. With the leadership of Georgia State University professor Dr. Mary Helen O'Connor, he co-founded Mentorship Initiative for New Americans where it provides mentoring support to refugee and immigrant young adults pursuing admission to college. Dr. Kelli volunteers his medical expertise at various free clinics which they provide free medical care to uninsured individuals in the community where he grew up. He was named chairman of the Service Committee at the World Chamber of Commerce.
Dr. Kelli was named the 2017 Friend of Freedom award. He received the 40 under 40 awards at all of the institutes where he completed his education including  the 2018 inaugural Georgia State University 40 under 40 award , 2019 Morehouse School of Medicine 10 under 40 and 2019 Emory University 40 under 40 alumni award.
​He was also an invited guest by the Bush Family at the Air Force One Departure ceremony for President George H.W. Bush and received the first Points of Light award after his passing.

Tamera Currington of Vegan Soulsistuhs

Tamera Currington never imagined that her desire to create a safe place for women of color around health and wellness would result in such success. Her Vegan Soul Sistuhs Facebook and Instagram groups have exceeded her wildest expectations while creating a platform for growth and discovery. The Facebook group is a dream for anyone that is curious about a vegan, vegetarian, vegan-ish or a plant-based lifestyle. It is ripe with recipes, questions about transitioning to healthier eating, health tips, and is managed by over 100 administrators.

Vegan Soul Sistuhs was founded out of the love for Tamera’s then 20-year-old daughter that was suffering from congestive heart failure. Together they adapted a plant based, vegan diet and the results were astounding. Tamera released 60 pounds and was able to make adjustments to her medication while her overall health increased. Her daughter, after suffering two strokes, was able to double her heart function and was on the mend.  She was sure that other could benefit from this information and so began her labor of love.

Two years later, Vegan Soul Sistuhs has grown to over 40,000 members, and continues to thrive. Branded merchandise includes t-shirts, hoodies, bags, and cook books. This year she is planning her first retreat in Jamaica and has launched an additional Facebook group, “VeganSoulsistuhs & the BrothasWhoLove em”, so the men can feel the love too.  

A new partnership finds Vegan Soul Sistuhs expanding beyond social media. You can expect to see them in your city soon conducting cooking classes, workshops and other branded events.
