Liliana Cucuiet and Anthony Kay moved to Atlanta from Miami in 2018. Not long after, they started 11 Studio Prints, a custom apparel and promotional print company just off Buford Highway. Having grown up in Warner Robbins, Anthony remembers his dad bringing him to the area when he was a child to visit a Latin music store. Years later, he knew it would be a great spot to launch a business. “People still feel safe [on Buford Highway] if they’re from a different heritage, a different county, even if they don’t speak the language, they feel safe to come to this area and start something, be accepted,” Liliana agreed. Liliana credits her Romanian roots for giving her the grit and determination needed to succeed as an entrepreneur “At the end of the day, I’m very proud to say I’m an immigrant, I’m Romanian, and I’m working for myself,” Liliana shared.
