Meghan’s Story…

In this episode, we dive into the journey of Meghan, the visionary behind Halifax Charcuterie.

Discover how Meghan’s unique perspective on beauty—embracing and showcasing your true self—shaped her path from aspiring psychologist to successful entrepreneur.


Growing up in Cole Harbour, her father’s affirmations and a move to a more inclusive community helped her embrace her worth. What started as a fun activity making charcuterie boards for friends blossomed into a thriving business, thanks to their encouragement and her own hard work.

Meghan shares her experiences of navigating the food industry as a Black woman, overcoming challenges, and the importance of revealing her authentic self behind her brand. Learn about the highs and lows of starting a business, the role of grants versus loans, and how strategic adjustments and networking contributed to her success.
