Series: YOU are Part of Black History - Meet Merald Holloway.

https://youtu.be/c2vacoxuKN4 In observance of African American History Month, I decided to spotlight and feature amazing people who are up to, as the late Rep. John Lewis would refer to as "Good Trouble". I hope that you enjoy hearing about the incredible individuals who I will be introducing you to. In this episode, meet Merald Holloway. He is a native North Carolinian, born in Reidsville, NC, and currently residing in Raleigh, NC is an enthusiastic and resolute advocate for economic empowerment and social justice within several North Carolina communities and business sectors. He is both the founder and Executive Director of NC 100, (www.nc-100.org) a non-profit focused on mapping and identifying opportunities for collaboration and change in Rockingham County, also serving as a program manager with the Rural Forward NC program housed inside of MDC Inc, shaping an ideal southern region where all people thrive. As a champion of economic development in the Triangle, Merald serves as Director of Development for the Greater Durham Black Chamber of Commerce. As an advocate worker and purchasing cooperatives, he serves as the chair of the North Carolina Employee Ownership Center (nceoc.org). The work that motivates him most is faithfulness to a mission to amplify local voice, create spaces where decisionmaker solutions are more inclusive of local experience, and build stronger networks for local leaders. 👋 Hey there, bestie! I am Tiff and I am a proud plant mom (https://www.instagram.com/p/CCcFm2kp_9G/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link). 🎧 I LOVE podcasting! I also happen to love small business (I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 18 years, sooo ummm yeah… I think I kind of like it at least a little bit, lol)! 👩🏾‍🎨 I sorta married those two passions and decided to write a few books (https://www.organizedenergy.co/shop) 👩🏾‍💻 Through the process of getting my projects knocked out, I came across a few tools and resources (https://www.organizedenergy.co/resources) that helped me get the job done a bit easier. Because they have been amazingly valuable to me, I wanted to share them with you as well- Is that cool with you, boo? 📒 I’ve created a really cool, handy-dandy resource guide (https://www.organizedenergy.co/spillthetea) that lists the many tools that many small biz owners, solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, and podcasters are using to work smarter and not harder as they are winning out here in these small biz and podcasting streets! 📲 If you’d like to get your hands on your own free copy (and trust me, you definitely want this, boo!), visit https://www.organizedenergy.co/spillthetea It is my hope that you have enjoyed this episode and found value in listening :) Please rate and review it on Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-unscripted-podcast-by-organized-energy/id1515791469) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/0nvUXnwoWlB4XltAhS2XQi), as well as share it with a few of your friends!
