Black Girl's Guide To ATL: CockTales Edition ft. Shanita @blackgirlsguideatl

This week, we’re outside (literally) with a real Atlanta insider. We’re joined by Shanita, the woman behind @blackgirlsguideatl, and she came through with the blueprint for actually enjoying this city—whether you’re dating, solo, or outside with your girls.We kick things off with a round of I’m Curious to Know that gets a little personal (as usual), then get into everything Atlanta: where to go, what to do, and how to stop defaulting to the same tired dinner + drinks routine.From Beltline staples and hidden gems to interactive date ideas, museums, wine tastings, and even where to meet quality men (yes… she gave real strategy), this episode is basically your Atlanta starter pack. We’re talking daytime vibes, girl dates, family-friendly options, and experiences that actually make dating fun again.We also get into real conversation about confidence, self-worth, and dating from a place of abundance—not desperation. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or unsure where to start, this part is for you.Plus, we highlight some incredible Black-owned businesses, local experiences, and upcoming events you need to add to your list ASAP.Save this episode, share it with your group chat, and take notes—because Shanita did not come to play. Cocktail of the Week:“Sweet, But Don’t Play With Me”2 oz vodka1 oz triple sec½ oz fresh lemon juiceSplash of soda waterAdd ingredients over ice, top with soda water, and stir gently.Offers From Our Sponsors:Erika LustGet 45% off with code COCKTALES at Erikalust.com Super.comStart building your credit the easy way.
