Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Natalia Acosta. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Natalia thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
Since a young girl I always loved music. I was in the choir and always chose that as an elective at school, As a teenager I would write and record my own songs at home. Years later, When I joined church I became a Worship leader, singing has always been in me. Growing in my later years after I had my daughter and she became a teenager, I noticed she had a very beautiful voice as well and a passion for singing. It was pressed very strongly on my heart by God to encourage this generation to use their creative arts and music skills because this is what they relate to and what captures their attention, it’s how they express themselves and cultivate their gifts. Music has always been in me and a passion of mine, but I had to understand the PURPOSE of it all and why God chose me. I now understand it all 🙌🏽
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?
Hello, my name is Natalia Acosta. I am an entrepreneur, events coordinator, worshiper, Artist, creative arts Ministry leader & coffee lover! Whew! 😁
I am a wife, and mother of 2 beautiful Children! I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and in my early 20’s moved to the sunshine state of Florida!
Since a young girl I always had a passion and love for music! I always wanted to be someone great and of great influence! As I grew into a young lady I really didn’t know or understand my purpose.. I had so many ideas but it was hard to gather all my thoughts/ideas and actually push them out into existence. I needed clarification and to really understand the calling that God had on my life and why He gave me such a strong passion for music. In the past year I was able to write and bring to fruition
a couple of songs of mine “Just believe it” & “set me free” (which you can find and are available on all streaming platforms) to God be the Glory!! 🙌🏽
How does this tie into what I do you ask ?? Well, I have a huge heart for this generation of youth and young adults, I know that they relate a lot to and are drawn in by music and creative arts. A lot of the music that is out there isn’t very beneficial and doesn’t hold much value in the message that they’re spreading. God Placed it in my heart and gave me a vision to start A nonprofit organization called Talents 4 Christ. We currently host monthly Open mic nights in different locations (cities, states) wherever God calls us to and opens the door for us to go! Check out our Web and visit us!

Our Vision & Mission is to reach the youth and the young adults, the lost and the hurting, through Creative Arts/Music. We want to create and provide a SAFE place and atmosphere for everyone to be able to connect, fellowship, build relationships, and utilize their God-given gifts and talents for the Glory of God. So many of our youth and young adults are lost, broken, hurting and trying to find their value and purpose in the wrong places, either out in the streets or hanging around the wrong people/crowds, We provide something different, something to lead them in the right direction❤️
As I also stated in this article, I am a coffee lover☕️😋! I have a coffee catering business called Serenity Cafe, this is another passion of mine. I love to serve others, connect with people, and put a smile on their face. What better way to do so than through coffee & conversation! There are many other refreshing beverages that are served (depending on what’s requested) as well as sweets, and popcorn! Visit our web! BOOK US! www.serenitycafe.biz
We also have an online clothing shop called kingdom clothing & accessories. We can custom create your logo and make apparel for you as well. CHECK OUT OUR SHOP!

The Ultimate Goal is to bring both the Cafe business and Music ministry together under one roof. To have a location/building that houses the Café part as well as the lounge area where we can host Talents 4 Christ nights for the youth/young adults, as well as host other positive fellowship nights in collaboration with others.
Please reach out via email [email protected] or call 305-918-2027 if you want to be a part of something great!!! Or if you simply have questions on anything 😁
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
For me the most rewarding aspect of being in the position that I’m in is being able to be that positive example to others, being able to push people towards their passion and purpose, being able to unite and connect people, and also seeing others use their God-given gifts and talents to also be a positive influence others and live out their purpose.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
The goal and mission driving my creative journey is to be a witness to and have a safe place and atmosphere for this generation rising to come to. To be able to provide a location for those to fellowship and use their creative arts/ giftings for the Glory of God. To see theses kids, teens, young adults off the streets and using their energy for something positive to make a difference in our communities.
