Jessica It's All Good

A Comedian You Won't Forget | A Paula G Interview
JESSICA IT'S ALL GOOD | PAULA G  | FLOURISH DIGITAL MAGAZINE

She’s a ball of light! She’s a DJ! She’s an MC! She’s an actor! She’s a former model! She’s an educator! She does improv! She’s even an auctioneer! She’s a clean and positive comedian, who’s here to change the world with her vibrant energy—one mic at a time. She is Jessica It’s All Good.

 

Jessica: I was actually the ugly girl. Therefore I came off much more quiet—because I was picked on so badly, I was scared to bring any extra attention that would make it worse. So up until about eighth grade, I was a different story.

 

However, some seeds were planted that kind of brought things out. For example, if we go back to when we were little kids, I was once forced on stage with my brothers to sing with my mom, grandma, aunts, uncle and cousins. We hated it. But by the time I was eight, I started to learn that I was more comfortable in front of people than I realized. At the time I didn’t know it was going anywhere.

 

My entire life was changed with a sock puppet show—which was a seventh-grade English assignment. My show was voted the best! Both kids and teachers talked about it all day.

Atlanta Ballet Presents COCO Chanel Preview at Phipps Plaza - Interview: Lindsey Jones https://flourishdigitalmagazine.com

Atlanta Ballet Presents
COCO CHANEL
The Life of a Fashion Icon
NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE

FEBRUARY 9 - 17, 2024 | WITH THE ATLANTA BALLET ORCHESTRA

Chloé Taylor Brown had the honor of attending the preview of the Coco Chanel Ballet presented by the Atlanta Ballet. During the event, she had a chance to chat with Lindsey Jones, the Area Director of Marketing for Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza Malls, to delve into the excitement surrounding the event and learn more about the malls' initiatives.

Chloé: What are you most excited about in the work you do?

Lindsey: It’s great to really talk to people about the philanthropic and community partnerships we have been doing at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza. Today, we’re hosting an event to preview the U.S. premiere of the Coco Chanel Ballet with the Atlanta Ballet. It’s called Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon. This is the first time anyone in the U.S. can see a sneak preview of the costumes for the upcoming ballet.

Chloé: Are these costumes part of the Coco Chanel collection?

Lindsey: They are part of the costumes for the actual performance that you will see beginning February 9th, when the premiere run starts. This is a preview, and these costumes were specifically made for this ballet. It’s the first time in the U.S. that this ballet will be performed – and it’s here in Atlanta. It was only performed once in Hong Kong, so they shipped everything here.

Chloé: What's your greatest ideal in your work?

Lindsey: I think it is great to bring the arts back into the malls. I think it is so important to make the arts accessible for everyone, which is part of our continued partnership with the Atlanta Ballet. We started with them last holiday season when they did a Nutcracker performance inside Lenox Square, and we are continuing to build on that partnership with tonight’s preview event.

Chloé: Can you tell us more about the reimagining of Phipps Plaza?

Lindsey: So right now, where we are (inside Citizens Market), this used to be the women’s fragrance and cosmetics department of Belk. We are now sitting in this amazing mixed-use property, with Citizens Market food hall here, One Phipps Plaza office tower across the way, Nobu Hotel and restaurant as well as THE GREEN space. We opened 17 new retailers on Level 1 last year. If you just think about the whole new transformation of Phipps Plaza, it is definitely very different.

Lindsey: Look at all the new things we have been able to bring to the Atlanta market. It really has changed everything as far as the landscape of Buckhead.

Chloé: What do you like best about your job?

Lindsey: I love being able to work with community and philanthropic partners. So, tonight, we are working with the Atlanta Ballet. We have done all kinds of partnerships with all kinds of groups. There is a winter clothing drive with YMCA of Metro Atlanta happening over at Lenox Square. So, during this month, we have YMCA at Lenox, Atlanta Ballet at Phipps but that is just a sprinkling of the different groups we work with throughout the year.

Chloé: What are your aspirations for 2024?

Lindsey: My goal is to keep building better and bigger. I want to continue the community partnerships, continuing to work with the arts, continuing to work with the great community, charities and outreach in Atlanta. There are so many great philanthropic groups. We want to continue to work with these groups and curate a great experience for everybody where we can give back to the community – and also continue to grow our centers.

Chloé: What else would you like to tell people?

Lindsey: I would tell people to continue to check out our websites – Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza. You’ll find all the great events and things we have going on. Last year at Phipps Plaza alone, we had 57 different events, so there is always something happening, and we have a lot of exciting things planned. This year is a big anniversary year for both malls – March 2nd, Phipps Plaza turns 55 and on August 2, Lenox Square turns 65. We have a lot of great, unique experiences to come on both sides of the street.

Chloé: Thank you, Lindsey.

My Journey From Tennis Pro To Successful Businesswoman

By Amy Pazahanick
AMY PAZAHANICK | TENNIS PRO TO BUSINESSWOMAN | FLOURISH DIGITAL MAGAZINE

I started my journey as a businesswoman early. I grew up playing competitive tennis. Eventually I earned a Division I collegiate tennis scholarship to Coastal Carolina University, where I earned a degree in Sports Management. When I was eighteen years old, I whipped up a flyer of all my tennis experience, printed copies, and rode my bike to different neighborhoods, putting flyers in people’s mailboxes.

Cut to – Today I am thirty-eight years old, and my days are no longer spent creating tennis champions on court. Now I help create champion coaches and leaders. Agape Tennis Academy manages eleven public tennis centers. We have a staff of over eighty professionals. And we’re “bi-coastal”! We have locations in Atlanta, Dunwoody, Decatur, and Clarkston, Georgia as well as in Oxnard, Fountain Valley, and Camarillo, California.
