Spillin' the sweet and the salty with Nancy Bruns

Today on Spillin’ Sweet Tea, I’m so excited to be joined by Nancy Bruns, a YWCA Charleston 2026 Woman of Achievement, co-founder and CEO of J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works, and a passionate advocate for economic development right here in West Virginia.Nancy is a seventh-generation native of the Kanawha Valley who proudly follows in the footsteps of her Dickinson ancestors, leading her family’s businesses with integrity, purpose, and a deep commitment to community. In 2013, she and her brother revived the historic Dickinson salt business—bringing a legacy industry back to life while proving that innovation and tradition can thrive side by side.A firm believer that there is no better place to live and work than West Virginia, Nancy sees tremendous opportunity for job creation, entrepreneurship, and population growth across the state. She lives in Charleston, remains actively engaged on community boards, and continues to pour her energy into projects that move West Virginia forward.We’re excited to chat with Nancy about legacy, leadership, and why the future of West Virginia is full of promise.
