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

Hi Tia, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Fully embracing and accepting where I am and what I have offer as an entrepreneur has helped me to not only succeed but enjoy my entrepreneurial journey! For me, entrepreneurship has been an exercise in self-realization, because self-care and self-love have been essential components in me reaching my business goals. I’ve found that holding space for myself and “watering my own grass” manifested the best and most authentic outcomes for myself and my customers and clients.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Vertical Activewear is a sustainable and size-inclusive lifestyle brand for yoga, dance, meditation and activities that support your inner and outer well-being. Available in sizes XS-5XL, Vertical Activewear is made-to-order using bold designs, ecologically advanced fabrics, and manufacturing practices. Vertical Activewear takes a “slow” approach to manufacture ring by using an “on-demand” production cycle to help curb to prevent the creation of unsold inventory that could end up in our oceans and landfills.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my BBF was visiting, I’d have us start our day with a morning walk through one of Atlanta’s many hiking trails…like the Chattahoochee Bamboo Forest. Then head down to Grant Park to visit Intown Saltroom for some dry salt therapy and sound meditation, followed by lunch at Flower Child (I love their gluten-free mac and cheese and lemon cakes). Then we’d head over to Phipps Plaza for some shopping or head to Iwi Fresh Garden Day Spa and Atlanta Hot Shave for a facial (and for that 14 Carrot Glow Moisturizer) before grabbing some dinner at Desta. Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
