We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Atlanta Ellington. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Atlanta below.

Atlanta, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?

As a multifaceted entrepreneur I’ve focused my energy on the service of people. Seeing a need and meeting it for the collective is always at the forefront of my mind. The legacy that I aspire to leave will transcend the generations. It is my wish to assist people in their journey of enlightenment and masterful co creation with spirit. I hope my legacy inspires others to be relentless in the pursuit of self and community. I want to inspire others to cultivating the life of their dreams in spite of. After I am gone I want to be remembered for the amount of people I’ve positively impacted and inspired to be unapologetically them. None one is you and THAT is your power. I want everyone to own their uniqueness and show up in this world, simply because that is what we are designed to do. To be a link in this web of life that orchestrates an even more divine unfolding of the ultimate dream, life.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I am a second generation master cosmetologist by trade, the CEO of Alkhemi Herbal Tea Co, and host of Alkhemi HonesTea Podcast. Through my passions my purpose revealed itself to me.

My life’s work is to help people with their transformation. I teach, assist help and show people how to accomplish their goals of life. I am a householder. Earth is the only place where people come to be enlightened. I assist people with their enlightenment.

I provide services through physical transformation; hair artistry. The transformation of the health through plants and herbs with teas. As well as servicing the physical body through sound bowl therapy.

As a stylist I am a master cosmetologist in TN & CA. I am a Redken Certified Hair Colorist, Extension Specialist and Natural Hairstylist. I trained at Douglas J. Aveda Institute in Knoxville, TN after attending The University Of Tennessee studying Food Science and Technology. I established myself as a respected hairstylist and makeup artist in East Tennessee and perfected my craft working on short films, weddings and magazine shoots. I have a decade of experience in the beauty industry. Currently I am a creative people centered traveling stylist that provide consceirge services in the homes of my clients.

May of 2020 I turned my childhood love of tea and tea sets into a reality through Alkhemi Tea Co. Alkhemizing is the ability to transform the nature of properties in a seemingly magical way. My mission is to transform the nature of your health with the healing herbal properties of tea. I committed to crafting locally sourced certified organic herbs and teas for my blends.
What you get? Hand crafted tea blended with health and indulgence in mind in each tea package. INHALE the aroma. INGEST the healing herbs. MANIFEST your desires! My latest collection will be dropping this Fall 2023 at www.alkhemitea.co

Alkhemi HonesTea Podcast is a space for cultivating mindfulness, navigating life and free thought. This is an intentional exchange of honest energy; where we can respectfully hold space as we float through the space ways. Here we chat all things tea, health, manifestation and soul liberation. This is the safe space to transmute everyday experiences into impactful growth through discussion.

I am the most proud of my ability to transition through many phases stages and places, evolving freely without losing sight of who I am at my core.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy is first creating a phenomenal product/service. Once you have that word of mouth and social media will be your best allies. It’s easy to forget how your customers will be your greatest marketing tool. Never forget to give an amazing experience and the rest will naturally flow.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

A major unlearning for me personally was assuming I had to do everything myself. NO ONE does everything alone. There is power in collaboration. Find your kindred spirits and figure out a collective goal. You never know how much you can accomplish if you do not open your mouth when you need help. It’s okay to have help and all of the greats have a team. Build your team, build rapport and build something magical.
