“I don’t come from an environment where we have $40,000 to pay tuition yearly, Brown said. “Basketball saved me from falling victim to the environment I grew up in.

In meeting with Benjamin Devolve, I’m immediately struck by his modest and gentle nature. Having just returned from a long day as a senior at The Classical Academy’s College Pathways program, Ben arrives to the interview greeted by his mother, Melissa, who has graciously brought a few options for him to change into. “I’m good to just keep it real,” he says, and he respectfully declines to change into something he doesn’t normally wear on the average day.

When you meet Lola Woloch, you know you’re meeting with a person who is fully committed to the audience immediately in front of her. A careful listener and observer, an incisive business mind, and a strong critical thinker, Lola’s ability to connect the dots and see win-win scenarios with otherwise disparate parties, whether for her organization, for her members, or for her entire community, is uncanny. It’s what entrepreneurs do.

A PERSON DECIDES to open a new business
In NORTH, we’ll meet local business owners and restauranteurs who are in the midst of and surviving one of the most unusual employment markets in US history.
shaping and improving THE WORLD WE LIVE in ways you can’t believe
Knowing a little bit more about those around us, helps us to better know, appreciate, and relate to one another. Your neighbor may be a retired Tuskegee Airman. Or a retired astronaut, professor, inventor, or pioneering physician. That small business owner may be an Olympian, Paralympian or former collegiate or pro athlete. Or maybe that kiddo across the street is a blossoming artist or spokesperson for a wonderful cause. Or even someone who has conquered or is fighting a battle you can’t even imagine.
We often live just within the immediate bubble of our own busyness and routines. NORTH hopes you’ll enjoy our People features that are designed to encourage you to step out and make some new friends.
