💬 FYI

This list started with my ATL community… y’all dropped your favorites, I added mine, & together we built something that proves women really do run this city.

Be sure to📍save it, share it, & keep tagging your favorites. I’ll keep adding more as Atlanta’s women-owned scene grows.

Thank you for helping me create this.
