What we do
The city of Atlanta is among the top in the country for economic immobility and income inequality. For instance, the average wage gap preceding COVID-19 for a white family is 7.8 times greater than that of a black family (Brookings, 2020). We understand that socioeconomic disparities are a root cause of poorer public health systems, high crime rates, and increased unemployment rates. We believe that the best way to avoid these consequences is by expanding the availability of financial resources, knowledge, and tools. These same adversities birthed the need for P.O.W.E.R Atlanta Inc.

WHO IS Adrienne
Executive Director
Adrienne is a life-time native of Atlanta and has always had the internal drive and possessed the entrepreneurial spirit. After experiencing a few personal and financial hardships, she was forced to make a decision that would adversely affect her family. As a single parent she faced seemingly insurmountable challenges. Lacking basic resources that were integral of a marginalized community, she stayed steadfast and focused on providing for her family. Adrienne has always been passionate about being a servant of the community and an advocate for the women and children of those underserved communities. With that fortitude and zeal, she decided to service the community by way of a smalltax and consulting business.
Since its inception,EZ Money Tax Solutions has serviced over 400 families of the greater Metropolitan Atlanta area. Adrienne has dedicated her life to providing educational spaces that support and elevate the fight for equality, inclusion, advancement and empowerment for all.
