It's no secret that Atlanta is one of the top cities for black entrepreneurs, and for the last 20 years, Georgia has held the crown for having the highest growth rate for women-owned businesses over any other state in the country. In our latest series Boss Up, xoNecole is capturing the stories of some of the city's most notable boss chicks who've forged their own paths and have proven to be the crème de la crème of their respective industries.


In this pilot episode, we'll meet Pinky Cole, a former producer of The Maury Show, who is the creative genius behind one of the hottest new vegan restaurants in the nation, The Slutty Vegan. There's a reason why celebrities and locals alike are lining up for hours at her three-month-old brick-and-mortar location, and it's not just because they want a Ménage à Trois. The founder has made a name for herself thanks to her idea of putting a spin on the term "sex sells" to hawk her plant-based patties, in hopes of showing the versatility of veganism and encouraging others to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Success didn't come easy for the Baltimore native who lost her first business—a restaurant in Harlem serving Jamaican and American cuisine—to a grease fire in 2016, burning her $50,000 a month income with it just two years after opening.

Watch how Pinky was able to bounce back and turn a sexy food truck idea into a multi-million dollar business in just six months.

Aries-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
