The ZD Experience Live - An Evening with Carolyn Murray

Over the years, Charleston has come to know and love Carolyn Murray through her heartfelt stories - covering life, loss, pain, and triumph. But there was a time when her voice went quiet, and we didn’t see her on air.

It wasn’t until TEDxCharleston 2025, where I had the honor of co-hosting, that I saw Carolyn in a new light - a woman of deep resilience, courage, and purpose. That moment sparked this idea: What if we turned the tables and made Carolyn the interviewee?

This is not your typical Q&A. This is An Evening with Carolyn Murray - a raw, soulful, and inspiring experience that brings you up close and personal with a woman whose story continues to shape and uplift our community.

Join us for this powerful conversation.
