YouTube Channels Our Community Members Recommend

Celebrating National Mimosa Day with Kitchen Conversions
With National Mimosa Day happening just this past Sunday, May 16, we knew our Math + Mimosas activation series was the perfect way to celebrate both our nerdy and fun sides! So we invited our community members over to the Centergy One lobby on Friday afternoon for a chance to catch up over complimentary mimosas – and put their math skills to the test.
TEP Talk: Managing Mental Health
There is a lot of stigma when it comes to talking about mental health. While it is completely normal to feel sad, isolated, anxious, and even have moments of joy during dark times, it’s difficult for many people to talk about mental wellness, perhaps because they are afraid of being perceived as weak or soft. To help shed light on this subject, and as Mental Health Awareness Month continues, we wanted to know what tools our community members at Technology Enterprise Park (TEP) use to manage their mental health. So, we set up at the TEP lobby with a Coffee Talk to open up this discussion among members over complimentary doughnuts and a cup of Joe.

Creative Corner: Rachel Argot
Though we think of ourselves as profound storytellers, we at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club also recognize that art takes on many forms of expression.
