LowCountry Influentials
Lowcountry Influentials is a distinctive project celebrating the dynamic, yet often overlooked heroes across Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Summerville, North Charleston, and neighboring regions.
Our project illuminates these exceptional individuals through mesmerizing portraits and compelling stories, paying homage to those who leave an indelible mark on the fabric of the Lowcountry community.
We shine a light on the changemakers, visionaries, and trailblazers — each person a vital thread in the rich tapestry of our community, embodying the unique spirit and resilience of the Lowcountry.
This is more than just a tribute; it's an evolving chronicle of our people, our triumphs, our challenges, and our collective journey in this remarkable part of the world.
Pixie Dezzutti

Read in this interview how this force of nature is changing the industry. Another glowing example of Charleston Influentials.
Boyd Stough

Augustine "Gus" Olalere
Gus is a remarkable individual who has dedicated his life to helping others with his incredible financial knowledge and his generosity.
