At the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, everything they do centers around one purpose – improving our world through the power of philanthropy.

On a fundamental level, they do that through managing funds held in trust, donated by individuals, organizations, and businesses. Most funds are donor-advised funds, similar to savings accounts. These funds are pooled for investment purposes and their income is used to make grants for a wide variety of charitable purposes.

But the Foundation’s goals expand far beyond managing funds. They desire to strengthen the communities they serve in Gwinnett, Northeast Georgia, and beyond by providing leadership, addressing community needs, and assisting individuals and organizations with their charitable giving.

DePriest received his bachelor’s degree in marketing from The University of Alabama and his MBA from Kennesaw State University. He is a Leadership Gwinnett Class of 2015 alumnus, as well as a Leadership Birmingham Class of 2019 alumnus and Leadership Atlanta Class of 2022.

He and his wife, Carol, have one married daughter and two granddaughters.

DePriest’s dream for the Community Foundation: “Continuing to help meet the increasing needs resulting from complex family problems.”

On this episode of North Fulton Business Radio, Liza Fewell, Hand-in-Hand Copy, joined host John Ray to discuss her work as a freelance copywriter. Liza shared when, why, and how she became a copywriter, the skills one needs to be a copywriter, how she captures someone else’s voice in her writing, and much more.

North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

**Liza Fewell, Freelance Copywriter, Hand-in-Hand Copy**

Liza Fewell, Freelance Copywriter of Hand-in-Hand Copy has always had a passion for writing and helping others, but it wasn’t until 2021 that she put the two together. She now provides written copy for marketing materials for solopreneurs, small businesses, and nonprofits. This includes both print and digital assets such as website copy, sales pages, email funnels, brochures, postcards, social media, etc.

Liza describes her life as a labyrinth, where every turn teaches her a new skill for the next part of her journey. So, when circumstances forced her to seek a new career two years ago, she looked back to see where she might go next.

Her background in psychology, education, and art all had one thing in common—helping people. She loves research, reframing information for different audiences, and editing, so copywriting was a natural next step.

Liza is grateful to her family, friends, and professional partners as they supported her through her first year of business. The launch of Hand-in-Hand Copy in January 2022 went well, but health issues related to achalasia interfered with true growth. Now that she’s on the other side of a life-changing surgery, she’s ready to skyrocket her business and help more people with their copywriting needs.

Liza has deep roots in Metro Atlanta. She grew up in Stone Mountain and graduated from Agnes Scott College with a B.A. in psychology. She stayed in the area upon graduation and worked for a nonprofit that supported abandoned and medically fragile children. She then worked as a behavioral therapist and educator at a children’s psychiatric hospital before running her own children’s mural painting business for 10 years. Following that, she spent four years teaching ESL online to children in China.

Liza and her husband, Byron Fewell, are the proud parents of Xander (17), Indy (14), and three fur babies: Luna the dog (7), and cats, Pandora (17) and Gracie (7). Liza homeschooled her children for 8 years, but she is now merely their education coach as they navigate the joys of online schooling and prepare for in-person school next term.

When not writing, Liza loves hiking with her family, reading, or painting.
