Miriam Melvin: Elevating Black voices and becoming a fitness leader

Mimi is a veteran local television news producer from Chicago who was swinging through North Carolina in the nineties on her way up the career ladder when a funny thing happened-her life. She met her husband and ended up blooming where she was planted. She works the early morning shift so that she can be at home with her two boys in the afternoons and evenings. It's not easy, but she vows to continue to work in the news business as long as she feels like she is making a difference. Mimi is passionate about is making sure people of color have their voices heard. She is also passionate about helping women carve out time for themselves. When Mimi looked at herself in the mirror one day and didn't recognize the woman staring back at her, she decided to lace up her sneakers and go for a run. And she's been running ever since.
