Sip Fresh!
by Yazmin Maldonado
There are many instances in life of growth and change. Occurrences that are so powerful they spark an idea, a movement, an action. For Georgia Curry, JuiceMe owner, this moment occurred ten years ago when a health scare caused her to evaluate her diet and wellbeing. Taking control of her health, she followed the suggestion of her sister and began juicing.

Juicing is defined as a process where juice is extracted from fruits and vegetables, such as through pressing or squeezing. The benefits of juicing range from energy boosts to the support of a healthy immune system and even weight loss! Overall, adding more fruits and vegetables to our diets supplies our bodies with the vitamins and nutrients needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle.* And Georgia can attest. Following a Doctor's checkup, she was informed that one of her former health conditions was gone.

At the time Georgia was living in Atlanta, and she began to pay closer attention to the juicing options available to her. As she took deeper notice, she realized that the juice options were often made with added sugars and frozen products, diminishing the benefits of fresh produce. Inspired by the fresh and truly healthy recipes created for her by her sister Olivia, Georgia thought about starting her own juicery.
Yet, as life events often prompt, starting the juice bar was put on hold as Georgia moved back to Lorain to be with her mom. During this time, her entrepreneurial spirit still lived, and she and her husband opened up Steel City, a bar on the south side of Lorain. Georgia continued to work her corporate job and assist her husband in the success of Steel City until COVID threatened her own career.
She then decided she was going to go after her dream.
