Young Fabulous & Focused: Founders of Ladies Who Brunch ATL Discuss Empowerment Movement + More 

Recently I was able to interview the Founders of Ladies Who Brunch ATL. LWBATL is a global women empowerment movement created by Bianca Rush and Dayira “Dayybella” Jones. The two have come together to help current and aspiring entrepreneurial women connect, gather and share knowledge over a brunch in a Metropolitan city. Check out the interview inside.

Candi: First I would like to say congrats on the success of Ladies Who Brunch ATL this far. I’m familiar with the both of you via Instagram. Day I’ve actually featured you on my IG for a fashion look and Bianca I’ve lusted over your Sassy Mitchell over the years like wait until I get my coins together I’m going to purchase some hair. 

LWBATL: * Laughter *

Candi:So now you two have teamed up to empower women and motivate aspiring business women . What made you girls go with the brunch theme for your empowerment movement?

Bianca: We thought about what women like. So we enjoy food we like to dress up and be social. So that’s where the Brunch aspect came. And I know personally my friends and I always look forward to brunch on the weekend. So the concept for Ladies Who Brunch ATL was for us to create an avenue where women could connect with each other and formulate relationship that we see men doing all the times. Whether it’s my fraternity brothers,cousins, my father and neighbors ! It’s  Always men helping men which is a great thing.  But we both feel women can do the same thing . We Noticed not many of us have that in our network. We have similar interest but we haven’t teamed up to help each other. So that’s why Dayy & I put our brains together to show that women can work together and be successful to create that avenue we both have been looking for so long.

Candi: In the past I’ve seen Karen Civil and Fashion Stylist Olori Swank be apart of your events. How do you ladies go about selecting your panelists for events?

DayyBella:We create a list of women we look up to personally and people who look  up to them that’s  successful in their career. We try to get different women in different industries so it isn’t about one topic. So the event is diverse & we can attract more women in different industries.

Candi : Dayy your 21 and Bianca your 28. What are the advantages of the age difference when discussing business ideas or brainstorming for your next events.

Biance: We both have similar taste. I definitely wouldn’t say Day’s age defines her mentality even though she’s 21( day turns 22 on Dec 21st) it doesn’t mean she functions at a typical 21 year old type level. She’s very much about her business , very structured has a direction on where she wants to go. Working with her and I would say her working with me we don’t see age we just see a vision.That’s what helps us. She’s very creative I’m very strategic, we put that together and  that’s how we have our plan. Age has no difference in regards to us we are just able to work it out because we both know where we want to go with this!

She’s very creative, I’m very strategic we put that together, and that’s how we have our plan.-Bianca

Candi: Thats dope. Because  you all aren’t  focusing on age. You both are driven by the goal.

Candi:Speaking of age. Which age group attends your brunch events?

Bianca: Most of the millennial women. So we’ve had some girls that are fresh out of high school and we’ve had women up to the age of 50. But the audience that comes to our event they’re around the ages of 20-35 ( target market) but it’s for all women regardless.


Candi: What does the term Girl Power mean to you?
