Atlanta-based advertising executive Crystal Foote recently released a new children’s book aimed at promoting inclusivity and self-esteem among the youth.
Titled The Inclusivity Superheroes: A Tale of Diversity and Unity, the book focuses on diversity and unity, something that children need to grasp at an early age.
When tasked with figuring out what the next steps in her career would be, Crystal Foote was driven by the desire to create meaningful change. Recognizing the importance of speaking to younger generations, Foote brought her vision to life through storytelling.
“When you instill these concepts early in a child’s life, they are more embracing of diversity,” said Foote. The advertising executive strategically chose to market to children to help instill these values, using the relatable theme of superheroes.
The Inclusivity Superheroes: A Tale of Diversity and Unity
Collaborating with the talented illustrator Olivier Chen, the book came to life with its stunning visuals. The duo made sure to visually depict superheroes of all diverse backgrounds so all children could look at the book and see themselves in the characters Aisha, Emma, and Carlos.
In a world where Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) are at the forefront of discussions, Foote uses real-world examples to convey to readers the impact diversity has and encourage children that they can make a difference regardless of age.
The book received praise from Grammy-winning artist and star of Disney Junior’s Choo Choo Soul, Genevieve Goings-Gums as well as award-winning librarian and social media influencer, Mychal Threets.
The message doesn’t just end with the last page, but readers are invited to visit the website, where they can dive deeper into the characters’ stories, discover cultural food recipes, and even take an inclusivity quiz for a personalized certificate.
“The Inclusivity Superheroes: A Tale of Diversity and Unity” is not just a book, but a call to action for children, parents, and all to engage in conversations about the importance of unity. Crystal Foote’s commitment to making the world a more inclusive place for all starts with touching the hearts of readers and making every child feel seen through her pages.

After a crippling strike that paralyzed the industry for much of the past year, acting is back in vogue. Do you want to become a TV or movie actor? It’s possible.
The reason we say that is because in places like Atlanta and New Orleans, more and more Hollywood productions are holding casting calls there, giving people who never thought they’d be in the industry a chance.
Here’s How To Become An Actor In Atlanta
This article will explain the steps on how to become an actor in today’s fluid landscape of Hollywood’s diminishing power, the rise of Netflix and Atlanta s the movie mecca. But first….
Do You Need To Go To Acting School To Be An Actor?
Let’s answer this question right now: No, you don’t have to go to acting school to be an actor. Well let’s say this: Tom Cruise, Jennifer Lawrence, Channing Tatum and many more actors didn’t go to acting school.
Lamont Coleman, an accomplished Los Angeles-based actor, producer and NAACP Award winner, says that the key to becoming an actor has as much to do with timing as much as your talent.
The truth is that you have to do what’s best for your career and lifestyle,” Lamont tells AtlantaFi.com. “Obviously, school can’t hurt, especially when you’re young.”
Don’t wait for someone to make you an actor, get and do it yourself! I went to school with so many people back in college that I don’t see here in Hollywood. So many people who I took classes with here in Los Angeles have now went back home.”
He says many actors are hired because they may be able to bring in another audience, but in his case, he worked his way up.
Coleman, who has landed a role on Tyler Perry’s Have and Have Nots, is a producer now. In fact, One of his films recently won the International Burbank film Festival.
So let’s get into it: Here’s what you need to do to be an actor:
1. Go To Acting School
Ah, yes, education is one of the best ways to gain a foothold in any industry, and acting is no different. It is a craft after all.
Most actors will tell you that you need professional training, and that’s the truth. This video from The WillyDuz shares some insights from actors on the subject. One says this:
“I wasn’t in the conservatory program. I didn’t study theater for years and years, but I did take some classes,” one actor says on film.
“Also people have different levels of natural ability. Some people acting comes a little easier to them than others, so you might not need as much training,” he says.
Having said that I want to stress this: You DON’T have to go to acting school to be an actor.
2. Get Discovered
After you’ve got some training or the drive it takes to be an actor, you’re going to need some exposure.
Back in the day, aspiring Hollywood actors used to wait tables and give business cards to customers who may be producers or directors in the business.
Nowadays you need to do various things to be seen and heard. That includes any of the following:
- Go where the action is: Atlanta, Los Angeles, etc.
- Network at industry events and parties
- Make friends in the movie industry
The #1 to get discovered though is to get some work. That means you’ll need to try to land roles no matter if they’re small or large, talking or non-talking.
You need to work hard to audition for stage performances, web series, supporting TV and movie roles and more.
Here’s the thing: If you don’t get discovered, you’re going to have to…
3. Start Working & Keep Working
The #1 way to become an actor is to work. It doesn’t matter so much where you live, or who you meet, although both of those things can help.
The key is to start working in the industry — and keep working. In the meantime:
- Hone Your Craft
- Extend Your Range
- Be Patient
Show up early for auditions so that you can stand out.
4. Take Some Good Headshots
One of the best ways to stand out from the acting crowd is to have a good headshot. You may be wondering whether your headshot should be black-and-white or color. Why not do both.
Here are some great headshot resources.
Final Word
Coleman says make sure you make connections because you never know how they may bear fruit.
“The way this beast [Hollywood] is set up is you might get lucky and land a role in a commercial or five lines or less. But it’s who you know and if you are on their mind at the time.”
But it takes more than that. It will also take talent and good timing, if we’re being honest. But here’s the thing: You can do it.
Make sure you have an agent that you trust so that you can focus on your craft. So how do you get an agent? You get one through a referral.
Watch this video on getting an agent from Backstage.com:
Also, make sure your headshot is a great one.
Don’t be worried. You got this.

The skyline of West Midtown in Atlanta is going to look a lot more artful real soon.
Interlock Tower, the second phase of The Interlock mixed-use district in West Midtown, Atlanta, has hired world-renowned muralist Tristan Eaton for its property murals.
Now complete, the two Interlock Tower murals are the first works of art in Atlanta for Eaton. The artist has painted more than 100 murals all over the globe, including in cities such as Moscow, Paris and Los Angeles, among others.
“They gave me a lot of creative freedom, which was really nice, and I had two big walls to play with,” said Eaton. “I took a different approach for each one — one is a really long landscape composition where I can tell stories inside the letter forms, and I wanted to give references to the history here and about Atalanta the Greek Goddess, which hasn’t really been done before.”
One mural features Atalanta the archer and hunter goddess with a modern twist and the other piece has bright colors and designs. Both are located in the open park space of the property.
“It’s a real blessing to be able to do this kind of work. I’m an outsider wherever I go, and I try to paint something for that community, and I try to take that seriously and do a lot of research. Hopefully, I leave behind work that becomes a part of people’s identity, enriches their daily life and lifts them out of a landscape higher than just the land, bricks and concrete, and shows that there’s humanity and creativity amongst us and hopefully that inspires people.”
Final Word
The skyline of West Midtown in Atlanta is not the only cool thing in town.
