"I note that Independent Grounds Cafe opened last March in Kennesaw’s Legacy Park community; owned by Lorna Heid and inspired by her 19-year-old daughter Emma, who suffers lasting effects from a traumatic brain injury after contracting meningitis just after she was born, the cafe primarily employs adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to showcase inclusive employment opportunities, and Heid plans to continue expanding the Independent coffee shop model to other communities." - Beth McKibben
