Mea’s career achievements extend beyond the realm of business into the world of sports, particularly in NASCAR, where she orchestrated a groundbreaking six-figure driver development deal with Hendrick Motorsports, one of the most prestigious teams in the sport. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that the driver in question was her son, who at the age of fourteen became the youngest driver ever signed to a NASCAR contract. Adding to the significance of this accomplishment is the fact that her son is Bi-Racial, making him one of the few black drivers in NASCAR’s long history. In a sport where diversity has been historically lacking, Mea’s son’s success represents a significant step forward in breaking down barriers and promoting inclusion and representation. As a mother and grandmother from a diverse family background, Mea has been blessed with a wealth of unique experiences.

Mea illustrates how focusing on the things that connect us rather than the things that divide us can lead to profound understanding, acceptance, and unity.
