Maddi – an African-American woman living with her family in New Hanover County - is part of the American middle-class. But, as we talk, you’ll hear the reality of her every day from just making rent to overcoming systemic racism. The hope is these conversations will entertain and inform and give you another perspective to consider when you look at our community. This episode is mostly about “getting by.” We talk about why Maddi decided to move her family from Wilmington to the county, affordable housing and how she stretches a buck.
