OMG staffers have interviewed various Athens mayors including Kelly Girtz, Governor Brian Kemp, comedians, actors, social media influencers, local performers and many more prominent figures. “I first joined ODYSSEY because my brother inspired me. I was quickly able to find my own path with photography,” Donnelly said. “I’ve made an identity for myself, learned to lead, and tried my best to leave behind an ODYSSEY legacy.” Photo from OMG archives
