“It’s Not What We Think, But What We DO That Makes Us Successful”

Charlotte A. Clark-Frieson is an extraordinary — powerful, multi-talented, enterprising personality who hails from rural east Alabama, and whose passions are as diverse as the east is from the west…

As a long-time business owner-operator,  radio personality, former educator in the public and private sector, civil rights leader/activist and past elected board-member of her school district, she has utilized all of her gifts and talents to serve as a vocal advocate for African American progress and empowerment in her own and surrounding neighborhoods and continues to exercise that vigor about the things that matter most, by letting her voice be heard.

Through her newspaper publication, The People’s Voice Weekly News, which she published between July, 2005 and February, 2009, she skillfully exploited the “power of her pen” to stir the conscience of her community through her controversial weekly column “Sober Thoughts.”

In short, Charlotte Clark-Frieson is not only a thinker but also she is a doer.  She believes that in order to be effective, we must be able to transform thoughts into action.  While others are thinking, she is moving, acting, responding, engaging.    She is one who has not been afraid to take risks to stand up for what she believes in.   She is one who speaks her mind — IF IT KILLS HER.   She has been a strong warrior in her community, and — in one way or another —  continues to touch the hearts and minds of everyone she encounters.

Aging gracefully, she has now settled in, taking time to capture the essence of all that time and space have allowed her senses to behold, through her own unique creative process.
