We had the good fortune of connecting with Auc Central and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi AUC, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
We weren’t sure the direction we wanted to go once we moved down to Atlanta back in 2021, but we received a scholarship to attend CAU for grad school and everything changed. Once we begun to attend, we saw that there was a lack of information being shared with students and many didn’t know what was going on, so we started The AUC Central, LLC. to fill that void and to make sure students are never in the dark with what’s happening academically and culturally around the Atlanta University Center Consortium (CAU, SPELMAN, Morris Brown, and Morehouse).

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
We Are The Top Source For All Things Atlanta University Center. We Have A Clothing Brand Partnership With @hbcustomizations And Our Brand Has Been Shown On MTV’s Nick Cannon Presents: Wild N’ Out. We Have A Partnership With Atlanta Dream. We Have Had To Learn How To Suffer Losses Fast And Bounce Back Quick. Our Platform Was Hacked 3 Times In The Past 3 Years And Each Time, We Find A Way To Not Only Recover Financially, But Not Loose The Momentum That Our Brand Has Produced.
