How did it all start? Renata in the City? I have been thinking about that this morning. The mayor saying he wants Charlotte to be a first rate international city, then there was Renata being very unhappy trying to get all her monthly obligations met with Mary Kay. It felt like Prometheus rolling that ball up the hill, she was very discouraged. Doing something that is really not your passion can be exhuausting.

I have a personal interest in newcomers having been a newcomer myself not so long ago. I joined New Friends of Carolina and Newcomers, plus always trying to plug into fun volunteering opportunities in community. As you know I'm an encourager, so that part of me took over and I encouraged Renata to go for it. To have a show, like she had in Europe but be targeted to the group we were both interested in, the newcomer to Charlotte. We started surveying people with questions. When you first come to Charlotte what information do you need immediately. Slowly but surely the segments for our show emerged. Where to live, eat, work, play and help.
And that was just the beginning.
