Sep 9

Meet Mary McKinney, founder of @helloyellow_studio, Raleigh's process-based art studio, where children are encouraged to explore, create, and build confidence through the joy of art. After years in the classroom, Mary turned her passion into a business that now inspires families across our community. With support from CSBDF, she was able to access the resources and capital needed to grow her business, expand into a larger space, and create new opportunities for others. Mary's story is just one example of the impact that's possible when entrepreneurs have access to the right support. 💛 Click the give link in our bio for ways to get involved and help more entrepreneurs like Mary start, build, and grow their businesses. @visitnorthhills @downtownraleighalliance @visitnhid
