Speed Dating is a series where we get to know some of our favorite brand evangelists, whether they’re artists, designers, entrepreneurs, activists, or full-time parents! Today in the hot seat is Athena Sotiropoulos (@diva.on.a.dime), a lifestyle blogger and influencer with an emphasis on women’s empowerment and education.
“I’m a Cali girl, born and raised. I love going hiking and going to the beach. I’m a recent newlywed and we are parents to our 5 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chloe. I love to cook traditional Greek food and watch old black and white movies. “
