In a city known for innovation, resilience, and unapologetic excellence, one name has echoed through living rooms, boardrooms, and community halls for nearly half a century: Monica Kaufman- Pearson. Now, ATL Plus Magazine is proud to announce Monica Kaufman- Pearson as the cover honoree for our 2025 Special Edition, “50 Most Powerful Women: 50 Shades of Power.”
This cover is not just a recognition of Monica’s extraordinary career, it is a tribute to a woman who has defined what it means to break barriers, build bridges, and inspire generations. From becoming Atlanta’s first Black and first female evening news anchor at WSB-TV in 1975 to her current role as the host of Monica Kaufman Pearson One on One, Monica has used every platform she’s touched to uplift voices, tell untold stories, and challenge the status quo.
