Harris Teeter dominates the Raleigh market, right? Not so fast. They have 0(!) stores within the market East of US-1. East of US 1 also happens to be where most of Raleigh’s Black and Hispanic populations live.

Progress isn’t always about getting better. Sometimes it’s about bouncing back. Success is not only the peaks you reach—it’s the valleys you conquer. Every experience of enduring adversity and overcoming obstacles is a meaningful accomplishment.   Resilience is a form of growth.

We spend too much time trying to reach other people's standards, and too little time defining our own. It's better to disappoint another person than to lead a life that disappoints you. Success is not about meeting someone else's expectations. It's about living up to yours.

“Affordable housing” in inaccessible places is not affordable housing.
