    Imagine navigating essential city services without understanding the language—this is a reality for many in Atlanta’s diverse communities. That’s where iSpeakATL steps in. Under the leadership of Senior Manager Valerie Mills, this vital initiative ensures that all residents, regardless of language barriers, feel heard, supported, and empowered.

    Atlanta is home to a rapidly growing multilingual population, making language access more critical than ever. iSpeakATL was created to provide interpretation and translation services for those who need them, ensuring equitable access to public services and resources.
