East Cobb-area Little Brazil community meeting scheduled

Cobb Commissioner Jerica Richardson and Brazilian community leaders in the East Cobb area will be holding what they’re calling a “Little Brazil” community meeting next week.East Cobb Little Brazil community meeting

The meeting takes place from 7-8 p.m. at the Vine Atlanta Church (1296 Gresham Road).

That’s been the venue for the Marietta Brazilian Festival, which started in 2011 and which is scheduled for early June.

The idea behind the community meeting is to gauge interest in the formation of a Brazilian cultural association, according to information from Richardson’s office.

Brazilian community leaders Dilla Campos of the Portuguese-language Viver magazine and Andreia Guilmet of Brazilian Wax by Andreia (with locations on Powers Ferry Road and Johnson Ferry Road) will be leading the meeting.

“Little Brazil” in Cobb is generally regarded as the area around Delk and Powers Ferry roads, and stretches into the Smyrna area.
