For those of you that know Gocha Hawkins, the first thing that probably comes to mind is fashion. As a celebrity stylist and reality TV star, Gocha made a name for herself styling the rich and famous. In recent years, she’s turned her attention to the hospitality industry, launching a breakfast concept in Atlanta, Georgia.
