    • Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States

    Starting in 2022, Yvonne Harvey and I created the Chattanooga Stronger Together TV show. Local nonprofits are interviewed letting them tell their story and help educate the greater Chattanooga area on the services/products they provide to help our community. This is free marketing for them in the hopes that those who need their services/programs/products will now be able to find those providers. It takes a village and our nonprofits are the ones making our community a better place to live, work and enjoy life. In season 3 there will 12 episodes highlighting 24 more nonprofits. Total support in 3 seasons will be 72 nonprofits highlighted on Chattanooga: Stronger Together.
