A new initiative launching first in Atlanta aims to make it easier for new moms to get back to the workforce. The Women’s Work Initiative (WWI), will connects leading local corporations with diverse and experienced women returning to the job.
The program was announced this week by the Mom Project and this is how it works:
Women’s Work Initiative helps mothers in Atlanta
The Atlanta Women’s Work Initiative (AWWI), a public-private venture, will connect 50 local women looking to return to work with some of the city’s leading employers. The first-of-its-kind program will also serve as a model for other cities as the effort rolls out nationally.
Atlanta companies that are looking to join the initiative include Georgia-Pacific, Invesco, AT&T Prepaid Portfolio and Voya Financial.
“The AWWI embodies the inclusive spirit of our vision for One Atlanta, a world-class city where no one is left behind,” said Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, referring to the recently-created Mayor’s Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. “As a working mom myself, I am grateful for the great companies that understand the critical need for equity in employment, especially for those women who are re-entering the workplace. The Mom Project understands the value of the hardest job there is: raising our children.”

One of North Fulton’s top restaurants, Table And Main, is breaking out the fine silverware this weekend and inviting the community out to help it mark a major milestone. The Roswell restaurant is celebrating seven years of great food on Sunday, August 19, 2018.
There will be a backyard Low Country Boil, live music, drinks and more things cooked up by Chef Woody. Click here for Info/Tixor please visittableandmain.com.
1028 Canton St, Roswell, Ga. 30075
tableandmain.com | 678.869.5178
Aside from Table and Main, when it comes to restaurants, Atlanta is quickly gaining ground on some of the dining capitals around the United States.
Fast-casual is the dining trend du jour around metro Atlanta restaurants. The concept involves mixing the quick accessibility of fast food with the casual dining experience. Food in Atlanta is also adapting to the various tastes of the migrants that come here to live.
Patrons typically order off a menu board like they would at a burger joint, but the convenience of sitting down to leisurely enjoy their food has made the segment a popular one with the restaurant industry.
The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene, which has seen a fast-caz explosion in recent years.

ABOUT MEREDITH
Meredith Kooi (b. 1985, Chicago, IL USA) is an artist, curator, educator, critic, and researcher based in southwest ATL. Driven by curiosity and an eagerness to understand the places where she is, Meredith uses performance, radio, audio, installation, drawing, writing, and the web, among other mediums to dig into the materials of history to uncover narratives that may have been concealed and unseat histories that had been grand. Leaving no stone unturned, Meredith’s projects are not satisfied with the status quo. When working collaboratively, Meredith lets the thoughts, motivations, and desires of others upend her own. Working independently, Meredith critically examines her own history and body with the realization that they are not selfsame discrete entities. Whether solo or collaborative, Meredith’s projects produce space for a multiplicity of conversations that may contradict each other, but work together to create a shared world.
Meredith was a recipient of the 2014-2015 Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs Emerging Artist Award and is currently a WonderRoot Walthall Fellow. Meredith received her MA in Visual and Critical Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she received a Trustee Scholarship and graduating Fellowship. She is currently finishing her PhD at Emory University in The Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts where she has taught undergraduate courses in contemporary art, feminist theory, performance studies, and Southern Studies.

The Spelman College Museum of Art will present photographer and visual activist Zanele Muholi on Fri, September 14, 2018 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM EDT.
Muholi will be in conversation with Renée Mussai, the London-based curator behind Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness.
The event is being brought to Spelman as part of the ACP Lecture Series/Art Papers Live initiative.
Muholi, whose pronouns are they, them, and their, uses their body as a canvas to confront the politics of race and representation in the visual archive.
Muholi’s psychologically charged portraits are unapologetic in their directness as they explore different archetypes, personal and collective histories, contemporary politics, and global events. By increasing the contrast in the dark complexion of their skin, Muholi interrogates complex representations of beauty, pride, and desire. Gazing defiantly at the camera, Muholi challenges the viewer’s perceptions while firmly asserting their cultural identity on their own terms.
Partnerships: Mailchimp, Art Papers Live, Spelman College Museum of Art, Atlanta Celebrates Photography in conjunction with “Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness” on view at Spelman College Museum of Art Sept. 14 – December 8.
Getting There: Rideshare from West End MARTA station or Rideshare or drive to Spelman Lane from Westview Dr. SW or Lee St. (Lee St. intersects I-20). Use parking lot just past security gate or parking deck if lot is full.
