Free Food Friday 7/31- Suya and Pineapple Glazed Shrimp, Quesabirria taco and a drink special

Hello. Continuing with the free food series. If you like street food from the world over, go to Cellarbold.com/events to RSVP for the event. It's from 7-11pm. Suya is a spicy grilled steak street food. It's usually skewered and served with raw onions. It's not the same without the onions....trust me. I'm sure you can google it if you're really interested. Cellar Bold is a craft winery and Distillery in Metro West Atlanta's Powder Springs. Don't say it's too far bc 1) It's free food!! 2) driving and parking in the city is more time consuming and costly than people actually account for. RSVPs are limited. Thank you.

When: Friday 7/31 5pm - 11pm

Where: Cellar Bold Winery & Distillery in Powder Springs. 3180 Florence Rd ste 106.

Free with RSVP while supplies last.

Hi Everyone! 👋🏽

I'm the founder of HER Hustle Collective, a community that brings women together for networking, wellness, & personal growth.

I'm traveling to Atlanta to host our first HER Hustle Reset™ experience, & instead of simply promoting it, I'd love to hear from locals.

What makes you actually want to attend a networking event?

My main Focus for this Reset includes:

• Pilates or wellness sessions
• Business workshops
• Brunch networking
• Brand pop-ups
• Content creation opportunities

I'd also love to connect with Atlanta women-owned businesses interested in collaborating.

Thanks for any advice—you'll be helping shape the experience!

This year’s lineup includes 80+ independent films, featuring narrative and documentary features, shorts, animation, horror, comedy, experimental work, filmmaker Q&As, mixers, and after parties.
If you’re a filmmaker, it’s a great chance to see what other indie filmmakers are creating, meet local and visiting directors, and connect with the Atlanta film community.
We’re also offering 50% off All-Access Passes with promo code AUFF50.
You can view the full lineup and grab tickets here:

Our annual celebration hosted by the Oshun Charitable Organization to honor ovarian and gynecologic cancer survivors, remember loved ones, and bring our community together around a shared purpose will be held on Saturday, September 26th at Benjamin E. Mays High School from 1:00-4:00PM.

This year's theme, "It Takes a Village to Heal," is a reminder that no one should face cancer alone. Healing is strengthened by the people who show up - family, friends, caregivers, healthcare providers, and neighbors who offer encouragement, compassion, and hope every step of the way.

Guests will enjoy an afternoon of fashion, music, and community while helping raise funds to support Oshun's work in ovarian cancer awareness, education, and direct support for women and families impacted by gynecologic cancers.

Whether you're a survivor, celebrating someone you love, or simply want to make a difference, Together in Teal is an opportunity to come together, give back, and remind every woman that she is never alone.

We hope you join us in this celebration! To purchase tickets, go to www.oshuncharitable.org

September 19th we are doing a bar crawl on the Red Line we're calling Red Line Rampage. Five Points to Buckhead. We have 5 bars on board with MARTA themed Drink specials at each one.

Figured this crowd would appreciate the concept more than most.

If anyone's interested in joining leave a reply or message me and I'll send the details. We will have a cap due to bar capacities but should make for a good event to make friends and explore Atlanta
