History’s Witness
Wallace Carroll had a knack for being where history happened. The Wisconsin native traveled the world seeking the truth to share with readers back home in the states. He knew heads of states, royalty and everyday people and he was trusted by all of them.
Mary Llewellyn McNeil had no idea her journalism professor at Wake Forest University was behind newspaper articles that would help persuade the United States to enter World War II. He watch as Germany bombers devastated London and readers read his first hand accounts across the United States.
After Mary retired from The World Bank, a consulting job led her to London. The history major picked up a book on World War II and found her former professors name mentioned throughout its pages. That set her on a journey to chronicle his life and remind us what journalism is supposed to be.
Grace & Grit
Motivational speaking was never on Waynette Anderson’s radar. She worked in radio, TV, sales and marketing and the road has led her to Grace & Grit, a series of motivational talks to help inspire and education anyone with a goal in mind.
The multi-business owner runs a successful music venue and event planning business. Dr. Pepper Park was just a vacant lot before Waynette got her hands on it. Now it is a successful outdoor venue. It took years and a lot of hurdles but through Grace and Grit Dr. Pepper Park became a reality.
