Not every creative needs to be good at everything.

Butter.ATL founder Brandon Butler knows his strengths, but he's equally interested in what other people can do that he can't.

For him, supporting creativity means helping talented people focus on what they do best.

Hear more from Brandon in his full Atlanta Creative Voices interview on our YouTube channel. Link in bio.

Atlanta needed a way to tell its own stories, so @butter.atl came to be.

Brandon Butler saw opportunities to celebrate Atlanta's culture, support its entrepreneurs and tell its stories. Rather than wait for someone else to make it happen, he started building.

His message to anyone with an idea? You don't need permission.

We can:

Dress as revealing as we want to✅
Take as much birth control as we want to✅
Work any job/career we want to✅
Divorce any man we want to✅

Today, modern women are the most “free” we have ever been, but studies show that as proper courtship and marriage and family numbers are down, we are are also the most unhappy we have ever been.

Freedom at what cost? Modern women are experiencing less love and security than their mothers and grandmothers. Are we truly free?

People see the crowds, the stages and the big moments. What they don’t always see is what it costs to make those moments happen.

Events can generate real revenue, but the margins tell a different story. Production, labor, security, infrastructure, talent, logistics… everybody has to eat before you do.

You don’t get into this business because it’s easy money. You do it because you know how to create something worth showing up for.

Booker T. Washington left us a blueprint more than a century ago: master the industrial arts, work with our hands, own businesses, acquire land, build institutions, and create our own economic infrastructure.

The vision was bigger than simply getting a job. It was about developing skilled tradesmen, entrepreneurs, farmers, builders and manufacturers—and using those skills to build our own schools, hospitals, businesses, banks and communities.

Washington understood that political freedom without an economic foundation would leave us dependent on systems we did not control.

Somewhere along the way, we moved further away from industrial education, skilled trades, ownership and institution-building. Today, we complain about many of the economic conditions Washington was trying to prepare future generations to confront.

Maybe the blueprint wasn’t outdated.

Maybe we stopped following it.

WORK WITH THE HANDS.
BUILD. OWN. TEACH. REPEAT.

Automotive historian and award-winning filmmaker TJ Loftin is humbled to share his research on Booker T. Washington from an economic perspective—exploring Washington’s leadership at Tuskegee and its connection to the Gilded Age and America’s Industrial Revolution.

TJ has been on tour with his new film, Working With the Hands Documentary, hosting screenings, Q&As, and keynote presentations that examine a side of Booker T. Washington’s legacy that is too often overlooked: industry, skilled trades, entrepreneurship, economic development, and the building of institutions.

This research looks beyond the traditional narrative to explore how Tuskegee’s industrial education model existed alongside one of the greatest periods of technological and economic transformation in American history.

The mission is bigger than simply retelling history—it’s about connecting the pieces, understanding the economics, and showing a new generation why working with the hands was also a strategy for building wealth, ownership, and economic independence.

That’s a powerful connection. Here’s a stronger version:

Washington—building businesses, mastering the trades, educating the next generation, and fighting to preserve the economic power of working with our hands.
