Daquan sits down with Sondra Smith, owner of Marshview Mercantile, to talk about her leap from corporate healthcare to local retail and how she’s building a community hub on Boundary Street. In the first segment, Sondra reflects on her 36-year career in healthcare strategy and why her "retirement" only lasted one week before she decided to open a mercantile in Beaufort. In the second segment, she shares what’s happening now at the shop, from supporting local makers to hosting community workshops like Gullah sweetgrass basket weaving.
