“Did Ladybird copy my idea?” with Quianah Upton, founder of Nourish Botanica

In this interview of The Neighborhood Watch Podcast, I sit down with Quianah Upton, the founder of Nourish Botanica. Nourish Botanica is a Black-owned greenhouse eatery in Atlanta.

Nourish Botanica was looking to be the first concept to open in Atlanta until a more popular restaurant, LadyBird, opened a very similar concept in December. Ladybird is a White-owned business located on the most prominent portion of the Atlanta Beltline, in one of the busiest intersections of Atlanta. According to Quianah, LadyBird was well aware of her concept prior to opening on their own. In this interview, we get Quianah's side of the story and see what is the status of Nourish Botanica.
