128: Angela Hollowell: Businesses Supporting Community

Amy Fagan

I've been following Angela Hollowell for a couple of years now on Linkedin, and admiring all that she's doing with her podcast Honey and Hustle, and her writing and now documentary film making. When she said she's joined a new group that she's excited about and asked if anyone wanted to hear about it, I saw my chance and said YES PLEASE! She recently joined Dogwood Alliance - info is below:

Dogwood Alliance is an environmental nonprofit organization based in Asheville, North Carolina. The group works to achieve broad-based support to end unsustainable forestry practices in the region. They focus in the marketplace to move large paper producers and customers away from sourcing their paper from endangered forests and towards increasing the use of post-consumer recycled fiber and other environmentally-friendly alternatives.

Angela's company Rootful Media is committed to inclusive visual storytelling that promotes community-building, meaningful conversations, exceeded fundraising goals, and lasting change. Rootful Media works with regional organizations and national enterprises to amplify diverse groups and voices. I was able to watch the trailer on zoom of the documentary Trail Therapy, which is wonderful - telling the story of Sharon, a therapist who offers sessions while walking outside, as opposed to in a sterile room, to breathe in the fresh air and the scenery. She's also working on, or finishing up now, another documentary about forever chemicals that I'm really interested to learn more about.

And her podcast Honey and Hustle is SO good! She focuses on business owners in NC that are doing great things - always an engaging conversation!
