Faustine McDonald Wilson, a designer and small business owner of Survival Pride, discusses the challenges she has faced growing up, with her brother's death, and how that tragedy defined her store brand and changed her life. She also talks about her passions and why her store went from brick and mortar to mobile/online. This interview was conducted to supplement the traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibit “The Way We Worked,” which was hosted by WCU’s Mountain Heritage Center during the fall 2018 semester.
