From Vision to Action: Funlayo Grace Expands Strategic Partnerships in Atlanta

This week, the leadership team of Funlayo Grace™ and Made in the USA Industries™ — Founder & CEO Jennifer Grace Jennings and President Erik Cliette — traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, for a series of strategic meetings focused on partnerships, innovation, and new pathways shaping the future of American manufacturing.

Over the course of several productive days, the discussions centered on expanding supply chain opportunities, strengthening relationships across the Southeast, and forging collaborations that connect industry, culture, and community.

The trip marked another major step forward in our mission to build an inclusive manufacturing ecosystem that bridges innovation with impact — empowering entrepreneurs, creating jobs, and transforming how products are made, sourced, and shared across the globe.

“Atlanta represents the spirit of collaboration and growth,” said Jennings. “Every meeting reinforced that the South is not only ready for innovation — it’s ready to lead it.”

“The partnerships we’re building here are designed to scale — not just for our company, but for the entire ecosystem of makers, suppliers, and dreamers we represent,” added Cliette.

It was a successful and energizing few days for the Funlayo Grace and Made in the USA Industries team — filled with meaningful conversations, new alliances, and a renewed sense of purpose as we continue shaping the next chapter of American manufacturing.
