We had the good fortune of connecting with Elijah Thompson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Elijah, what do you attribute your success to?
My most important factor behind my success is that I stay true to my original intentions on helping provide jobs in the hip hop community. My colleague & I have reached many milestones with the local schools & communities.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Everyday has been a challenge for my mental on processing what to do next. Listening to my intuition have allowed me to steer to the top of the mountain. with progress but quite a few bumpy roads. I’ve done ALOT of self driven work to allow me to get an opportunity for local tv stations. The lessons I learned is that everyone is not who they perceive to be. I always tell myself stay & never forget who was in your corner. The end goal is to reach the masses in a positive direction. Once you get the people attention, it’s up to you to guide them to the light of prosperity.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The house of Blues is a great spot to check out, if you are interested in a good genre of music. If you want to eat some good soul food, I suggest Lotus Sea Food.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to give thanks to Ms. Marylin Mann for giving us an opportunity to spread our positive light in her amazing school district. I also want to give a big s/o to Kimberly A. Anokwuru aka Da Ninja for being a big help in providing a stable environment for the young community to engaged in. We believe in creative unity & nothing less.
