Magazine and Podcast, but I try to not over work myself and still allow myself to enjoy this time of just being able to enjoy life as a kid and take it all in by enjoying my favorite Netflix Shows and ving my musical skills as constructing new ideas everyday. My goal by the end of this Quarantine is to come out of it in great health and with so many new things done and created to improve myself and help me get my name out there as the entertainer & Entrepreneur that I want to be like for Example I want to write 2 books. One will be about the importance of being yourself, and the other will be about the power of a positive mindset. Q. Tell us about “Defiant Ones” and the experience you had being the Co-Founder?

C H R I ST IA N Q. Hello Christian hope all is well can you tell everyone who you are and where you from? A. Hello, Absolutely! My name is Christian Robinson PKA “Kindafye” and I am a super outgoing and optimistic Entertainer & Entrepreneur. I Model, Drum, Sing, Act, own a clothing line called FYE Apparel “Find Your Element” and am the Co-Founder of The Defiant Ones Teen Magazine, as well as Host of The Defiant Ones Teen Podcast, and so much more! I am from and currently still living in Atlanta GA. Q. How do you balance all your endeavors? A. It honestly all comes down to the motivation behind everything I get into. There is a popular saying that says there are only 24 hours in a day, and the difference between the people who are successful and those who are not is how wisely you spend those hours.

My motivation to strive for greatness, and my determination to succeed is how I balance. When it truly matters you will always find a way. In my free time I am creating flyers and sending out business emails, I surround myself with peers and people who support and motivate me to keep moving forward, but most importantly I keep control of my mindset, because our mindsets are our biggest strengths or biggest weaknesses depending on which we choose. Q. What is your new normal due to Covid-19? A. This Coronavirus Pandemic Quarantine is both a burden and a blessing. It is taking away many opportunities of both pleasure and business, but it is also allowing me to do so much by giving me the one thing that is non obtainable which is Time itself. My new normal during this pandemic is very busy with my

A. The Defiant Ones Teen Magazine is a Magazine that is “For Teens By Teens” and talks about the latest Entertainment, Fashion, News, Trends, etc. But what truly makes it stand out is the information and stories we share inside that all come from a Youth’s perspective like, Creating Businesses, Becoming Leaders, Financial Literacy, Life after Highschool, Sex Trafficking, Bullying, and so much more. We also share the stories of Teen and Young Adult Influencers of all career types and learn about their struggles, successes, and experiences. We have now even created a podcast out of the Magazine called The Defiant Ones Teen Podcast, and the topics are mainly the same but what makes this podcast special is now we aren’t just talking to Teens and Young Adults but instead are speaking with Youth, Teens, and Adults who share their amazing wisdom, expertise, and experience to help our listeners/viewers grow and thrive. Me and my brother (Co-Founder Dekori Robinson’s) mission with both of these is basically to Inspire everyone that Anything is possible at any age, race, gender, etc. We want to be examples that everyone is capable of Defying the expectation or limitations put against us. Being Co-Founder of this amazing brand is just a blessing on its own, what started one night at the dinner table as just an idea then transformed into something that
