Apr. 14—The United Way of Greater Atlanta's Women United will present the 15th Annual Women's Leadership Breakfast on May 4 from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center.

The event will feature as panelists Ruth E. Carter, Academy Award-winning Costume Designer for Marvel's Black Panther; Renee Montgomery, Co-owner and Vice President of the Atlanta Dream and Dana Spinola, Founder of fab'rik. Moderator and WSB-TV co-anchor Sophia Choi will speak with these three trailblazers about this year's topic, "The Real Flex: Knowing Your Worth."

Each of the panelists has made waves in their respective fields. Carter recently received her second Academy Award for Achievement in Costume Design and her historic win in 2019 marked the first time an African American won in the category. Montgomery, a two-time WNBA champion, is the first WNBA player to become an owner and executive of a WNBA team. In addition to founding fab'rik, Spinola also heads the brand's nonprofit, free fab'rik, that builds completely free Dream Boutiques inside of safe houses and homeless shelters to provide free shopping sprees for women in need.
