Brandy Bynum Dawson: NC Rural Center

The North Carolina Rural Center identified that out of the 100 counties in the state, 80 of them (80%) are classified as rural. A whole different world away from NC’s more urban areas but they add so much to our character. We wanted to learn more about the challenges they faced during the pandemic and their strengths so listen to this energizing chat with Brandy Bynum Dawson, senior director of policy and advocacy for the NC Rural Center.

In this episode, we cover…

• Brandy’s definition of a pivot (3:08)
• How the pandemic has expanded the audience of the NC Rural Center (6:12)
• Our roots in North Carolina Rural communities (17:56)
• What Brandy hopes to see when she looks out of her window in the future? (22:10)
