The New Southern Tastemakers

“What excites me about living in the South right now is the strong push from my generation for positive change. The South is a place that’s been all about tradition, tradition, tradition, which isn’t a bad thing. But not all of it is worth continuing, and my generation isn’t afraid to say that!”
