Alva Jackson is proprietress of Ma Margaret’s House B&B. Alva Jackson restored her grandparents’ home and turned it into a bed and breakfast. The house had been boarded up for many years, and family members suggested tearing the old house down, but her brother came to her with a better idea. Thats how @Ma Margaret’s house Bed and Breakfast was born.
She also was Chief of Systems with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Show Notes
- 13:33 People open up restaurants every day. And it has one of the highest failure rates, even as successful as McDonald is
- 21:10 Most of all the schools at the time and in my area were all black.
- 25:29 He didn't look at my grades from high school, he didn't look at my SATs scores, he just looked at me and said, it was too hard.
- 30:46 It was never said to me, you will go to college, it was just understood.
- 39:31 Northern Neck Ginger Ale was the best. It still is the best, if you could find it.
- 42:30 Most of my customers are White, because a lot of Blacks are not really exposed to bed and breakfast.
- 48:13 Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way, take advantage of it and use it to your fullest extent.
