She is also a career paramedic lieutenant with a major metropolitan public safety department, a civil service member in Atlanta; and a blue-collar, working-class champion.

Much love to @knewatlanta one more time for the feature. Check the rest of article there. @phyllis.iller on the pic game: @knewatlanta ・・・ INFLUENCER | C Flux Sing is a notable visual artist and Hip Hop artist.  He is known for his illustrations, paintings and graphic design.  As well as, being one fourth of the legendary Hip-Hop Group called Binkis Records.  Flux has been repping Atlanta for a long time now.  He loves that Atlanta gives people a space to grow and create success for themselves.  The city provides fertile ground for all types of people, both natives and transplants.  Flux describes Atlanta as a "huge runway strip" because it is an environment where most people are trying to fly. #cfluxsing #art #knewatlanta #articlefeature.
