Why Working Families Are Struggling to Keep the Lights On in Michigan - Ep. 203 w/ Katrina McCree

What Up Doe?! What happens when you become the CEO of the same organization that once helped your family through financial hardship?

This week on the Black Fridays Podcast, we're tapping in with Katrina McCree, CEO of The Heat and Warmth Fund (THAW), a Detroit-based nonprofit helping Michigan families stay warm, safe, and financially stable. Katrina shares her personal full-circle journey, why asking for help shouldn't come with shame, and how THAW has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance to families across Michigan.

We also break down resources for utility bills, affordable payment plans, energy-saving tips, home repairs, and the realities of leading a nonprofit when community needs keep growing. Whether you're trying to lower your household expenses, looking for resources for your family, or figuring out how to make a bigger impact in your community, this conversation has something for you.
