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

Hi Annette, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would start off with a tour of the monuments in Washington, D.C. The Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. Then, we would check out the Smithsonian Museums such as the Air & Space, American History, Natural History, African American History and Culture, and the National Museum of the American Indian. I love listening to classical music and opera so I would recommend the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Next, we would tour the National Harbor (Potomac River) in Prince George’s County, Maryland. There’s so many shops, restaurants, hotels, the Capital Wheel, and MGM National Harbor. Lastly, we would visit Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center and visit Veterans Growing America https://veteransgrowingamerica.com/. Veterans Growing America provides a forum for Veteran and Military Spouses to showcase and grow their businesses. Partnering with local, state and federal veteran organizations to increase their brand awareness.
