Today we’d like to introduce you to Donnell Charlton.
Donnell, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
A’Leurer LLC was born from a shared vision between Natasha Charlton and her husband, Donnell Charlton—known professionally as soul recording artist Donnell Isaac. While Natasha was the driving force behind the concept, Donnell was initially reluctant. With years of firsthand experience in the demanding food service industry, he understood the challenges all too well. But with time—and Natasha’s unwavering belief in the vision—he came onboard.
The idea for A’Leurer began as a dream to blend elegance, soul, and culture into a distinctive dining experience. Natasha, a seasoned manager who spent years supporting Donnell’s international music career, was deeply inspired by the sophistication of venues they visited and the emotional connection that soul music creates. She imagined a place where that same feeling could be brought to life—not just through sound, but through food, ambiance, and community.
Together, Natasha and Donnell envisioned a space where guests could savor reimagined soul food in a refined atmosphere—complete with live or thoughtfully curated music that speaks to the heart. Their vision was grounded not only in creativity but also in family. With the support of Natasha’s mother, Thalia Austin, A’Leurer LLC took shape and became a reality.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road hasn’t been easy, but every step has been rewarding. No major corporations backing us—just a family built on love, real faith, and hard work.
