Turning Sun started as a half day preschool back in 2007. Our original founder (Alicia) looked at the preschool choices for her son and was disappointed with her options. So she bravely started a program that offered all the things she could not find. And today her vision has evolved into a movement to improve early childhood education in Atlanta…and everywhere.

I have always loved everything about perfectly styled events, weddings, or any type of life’s little celebrations. Growing up, I was pretty much influenced by my mother’s talents of organizing holiday dinner parties in our home and I loved her attention to the details in every table scape she created for us and her guests.

Yatra began officially in late 2017, but our story begins several years prior. Our current troupe is comprised of former members of Georgia Tech Pulse, a classical Indian dance team founded in 2010. It was our shared love of dance that brought us together as a team in college, but it is the close friendship that has kept us dancing and hanging out together even after our time at Georgia Tech.

I fell in love with cooking as soon as I was tall enough to reach the stove. In 2009, I decided to finally follow my passion for cooking to Bauman College in Berkeley, CA. My education at Bauman College changed my eating habits for good. Not only did the program teach me the practical and technical skills required by professional chefs, but also focused on the idea of eating for health by teaching the foundations of holistic nutrition.

The biggest lesson we learned was that this is still a business we started. So it was not always easy especially finding our first family to serve. The struggles today are staying true to our mission while growing our ability to serve. Sometimes that is not always easy but we work hard to be able to continue to be able to serve. Read more>>

I began my true running career as one of those crazy and passionate marathon runners. Lucky enough to fall into the position of National Training Program Director for Jeff Galloway for many years. Then, when I lost a dear friend to the battle of breast cancer and had an epiphany at her Wake in 2005, I wanted to create a race as a legacy to her and all of the Lindsey’s in the world.

In 2001 I was searching for studio art space and found The Allied Factory an old warehouse building located near Georgia Tech on Means Street. The building had housed artists and their studios for several years and I sub-rented studio Z from the tenant at the time. Read more>>

My business partner and I, longtime design-obsessed friends, opened as Poliform Atlanta over 15 years ago. We felt that offering excellent service, original contemporary design, and superb quality goods- all responsibly produced – was destined to be a hit Indeed, we were immediately embraced as the Southeast’s destination for clean, contemporary kitchens, closet systems, beds, and casegoods.

Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming a physician. I have always identified with the powerful healing role of the physician. I was a natural born scientist and while others were riding bike and playing double dutch in the urban streets of Cleveland, Ohio where I was born, I was digging in the dirt trying to reach groundwater.
