Tommy Tomlinson is an awesome talent and deserves wider appreciation, so here’s your chance.   Those of us lucky enough to be from Charlotte have known and loved Tommy’s writing and commentary for years, from his lengthy stint as a columnist for The Charlotte Observer to his current gig hosting the podcast Southbound.

Beginning his story at a massive 460 pounds, this gifted writer shares his life honestly and painfully, but with his signature humor and grace.   A must read and a gift to all of us.   You go, Tommy.  This Charlottean still loves you!
