Erica Thomas started her Atlanta food blog, Eating with Erica, in 2013. It started as a food directory based on her love of dining. She continued on this path working at a food magazine which helped her discover more of the Atlanta food scene where she began to grow her blog. In between jobs, she took the chance to grow the blog full time and has never looked back. She has grown her influencer brand in food & hospitality & entertaining beyond her blog, such as launching networking dinner parties and creating a home decor business and growing her brand partnerships. Her latest project is her new own podcast called Owning Her Seat interviewing empowering women in the culinary, hospitality and entertainment industries. Erica breaks down her timeline of how she continued to grow her business and is full of so much wisdom on how to stay motivated and self-care, how to utilize one’s network, and how to never stop evolving. Erica continues to build her brand by trying new things consistently regardless if they don't work out. Pull out your notebook because Erica is full of bumper sticker advice that we all need to remember.
