What brought you to Nashville?

Birth! I’m a native.

What do you do/create in Nashville?

After pursuing lifestyle content and becoming a household name in terms of a Nashville influencer, I began to pivot into making sure who I was and what I was good at could also be profitable and valuable for not only myself but others. That’s when I began to use my expertise, knowledge, and platform I had created thus far to turn that into a serious business, TMB Enterprises, LLC. I still do exactly what I love on a larger and serious scale. Being in collaboration and directly working intentionally with brands, businesses, and organizations is something I’m passionate about. It allows me to benefit lifestyle-wise as I get them where they want to be in business, branding, and marketing. They can continue to profit and reach higher margins and audiences in combination. Being able to be a face that shares experiences with broader audiences so that people can learn more about entities unfamiliar is the whole point. My love for people expands into the work I love doing for the community as a Second Harvest Food Bank Ambassador and Lupus Foundation of America Ambassador. Being active in giving back as much of myself as I can, whether it’s time, energy, or a simple helping hand, is very important to me and a value of mine I truly cherish. I am also a Nashville realtor serving all clients in the Middle TN area. I specialize in young professionals, entertainers, artists, and athletes, using my experience in the music and entertainment worlds and my network from being a former athlete. Also, my community of young entrepreneurs and successful business tycoons in the city of Nashville.

What inspires you?

What inspires me is truly the impact that I want to have in the present moment of my existence on earth. Also the impact when I am no longer here. What will people honor your legacy for? From the work you do while living, and how it continues to be valued when I’m gone, is something I constantly think about. My community of individuals, my city of young creatives and insanely talented people that I get to call friends and neighbors. Just the overall ambition and drive I have to touch lives and bring happiness, joy, and relief to people I know or will one day have the pleasure of meeting. This continues to give me the fire and inspiration I need to keep walking by faith in this beautiful journey called life. My favorite scripture is: “Walk by faith and not by sight,” which reminds me to keep trusting God’s path to make the best decisions in his light, even in dark moments. Which brings me to my favorite bible verse that inspires me: Jerimiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

What excites you about Gen Z in Nashville?

What excites me most about Gen Z in Nashville is how unapologetically bold and creative we are. I’m most excited about how Gen Z is shaping Nashville into a more inclusive and innovative city. We’re not afraid to challenge traditions while still honoring what makes Nashville special. We’re redefining what it means to build community, blending culture, entrepreneurship, and purpose in ways that truly reflect the city’s evolving heartbeat. Gen Z isn’t waiting for permission — we’re creating spaces, stories, and movements that make Nashville feel new again.

Favorite Nashville spot you are digging right now?

I love the Neuoff District, which is an extension of Germantown; the vibe and overall fun and peaceful aesthetic is really great.
