    Hope Vibes
    Aug 5 2025
    This episode is a perfect example of how a single moment of awareness can spark an entire movement. When Emmanuel and Adrienne Threatt went on their first date in uptown Charlotte more than a decade ago, they kept noticing homelessness around them. Specifically, they noticed people struggling with things many of us take for granted: a hot shower, clean laundry, even brushing our teeth. So, they took action. Emmanual and Adrienne join host Pamela Escobar to talk about their non-profit, Hope Vibes. If you're inspired by the Threatt's story, check out their 30 Days to Launch Your Nonprofit Toolkit, built for everyday people who are passionate about making change but overwhelmed by the process.

    Share Charlotte- Episode 100!
    Jul 22 2025
    This is the 100th episode of Do Good CLT! It all started back in February 2019 with a simple idea: Shine a light on all the good happening right here in Charlotte. We wanted to create something that reminded people of that. And more importantly, that we can do good. Since that very first episode, we've had the privilege of sitting down with more than a hundred nonprofits doing incredible work—organizations walking alongside families through cancer journeys, connecting kids with the resources and confidence they need to thrive, and tackling challenges we might never have imagined. But here's what we've learned: The real magic isn't just in the individual stories. It's in how they all connect to create this web of support that makes Charlotte such a strong and incredible place. So today, we're taking a step back to talk about that collective impact and what comes next. We're joined by our partners at SHARE Charlotte, who've been with us on this journey.
