Frank Discussions: Ernest Hood

My name is Ernest Hood

You might know me because of my ill haircuts, artwork and events.

The best thing about what I do is the positive effect it has on individuals and society as a whole.

The worst thing is the challenge of maintaining a competitive edge over bigger businesses with limited resources.

The most addictive thing in my life right now is achieving living legend status through excellence.

More people should know there's a limitless joy in discovering the divine purpose for your life in the earth.

I always notice when people are inspired by my artistic and cultural contributions.

It will always be in style to spread love

… ut never to hate.

Someone from my past who will never forget me is my 2nd grade teacher and friend Mrs. Floyd.

Something I'll never understand is how folks in what used to be the Civil Rights Mecca don't seem to resist much of anything.

The best thing about Atlanta is the rich history and beautiful landscape.

… and when you come here you should check out the Castleberry Hill art stroll hosted by numerous galleries in Atlanta's staple art district area on the second Friday of each month.

You haven't lived until you face and defeat your fears.

If my people united, everything would be different.

The best Frank advice I ever got came from my mom. She told me when I was about 19 "Son, handle your business or it will handle you."
