Yvonne Boone loves her neighborhood. She’s lived all over the metro area, but to her, South Fulton is special.

“This is the first time I’ve lived in a predominantly Black community since I was born — and there’s something different about it,” Boone said. 

She lives not far from Brianna McGeehan, who loves that South Fulton has progressive leadership and policies.
