Ep68: Becoming Port City History w/ Cedric Harrison of Support The Port
It’s the second week of Black History Month and we’re taking our conversation from romantic love to one YMPs love for his hometown- Wilmington, North Carolina- aka Port City!
Meet Cedric Harrison- a father, a leader, the Founder of Support the Port Foundation, a non profit organization that aims to enhance, cultivate and provide a renewed sense of community ownership and excellence for underserved communities. This would then lead him to become a TedX speaker, the first recipient of the Z Smith Reynolds All4NC Fellowship, and so much more!
I had to find out what inspired Cedric to leave it all behind to start Support the Port…..
It’s storytime! Cedric takes us on the voyage from poverty to empowerment, as he takes some of the most defining moments of his youth and embarks on a journey towards fulfillment! You know, a life that he could trulyyyyy say he loved!
From death threats to theatre, from college to unemployment, and from DC to Atlanta and back to Wilmington, Cedric’s story is met with many challenges where he has to make decision after decision after decision….
What ultimately would guide him began with a local tour that educated him of the POWER that was Wilmington pre 1898… and he tells us the story of the ONLY over throw of government that happened in United States history- right in Wilmington NC!
This conversation is not only educational but serves as reminder that the challenges we face can shape the way we see and can impact the world!
Here’s the triumphant story of where Cedric has been and where he is headed…
