Inaugural HER Idea Summit To Be Held In Atlanta

Come join the NAACP Economics Department for the first HER Idea Summit in Atlanta, Georgia! This will be an interactive 2.5 day summit focused on Black female millennial entrepreneurship. Black women are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs, but too often than not access to capital, business networks, and training act as deterrents.
Over the course of HER Idea, you will hear from millennial entrepreneurs, digital media experts, and venture capitalists about their pathways to success. Upon arrival attendees will select tracks: STEM, Fitness, Soulpreneur (creatives and social media influencers), and Beauty for intimate breakout sessions.

Tee Johnson: Tee Johnson is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of AtlantaFi.com, Atlanta’s independent hyper-local publication focused on news, restaurants, events, jobs, neighborhoods, and lifestyle. A 15+ year Atlanta resident and longtime journalist and content creator, she covers Travel News, Events, Business, Hair Care, and Money with a practical, Atlanta-first lens. Before launching the site, Johnson worked as a substitute teacher in Atlanta Public Schools and later in corporate roles at Home Depot’s Vinings offices. A marketer by training with a degree in business management, she grew frustrated with the fragmented, hard-to-find information about what was actually happening in the city. That gap led her to create AtlantaFi as a curated, one-stop resource for the pulse of Atlanta—#ATLHAPS—without the national noise. Editorial decisions remain independent; the publication does not accept products, meals, or services in exchange for coverage. As Editor-in-Chief, she oversees original local reporting and curated practical guides that help residents, visitors, and businesses discover and engage with the city. Readers turn to her work for timely event roundups, dining and neighborhood insights, business and travel updates, and straightforward money and lifestyle coverage grounded in firsthand observation of Atlanta. A devoted lover of all things Atlanta, Tee enjoys pickleball, a good margarita or bourbon, and walking the Atlanta Beltline.
