Born and raised in Detroit, Audra Carson started her business, De-tread, in 2009 after her own community became a dumping ground for old tires. Her site states that 320,000,000 tires are discarded per year in the US and poses the question – do you know where they go? Audra’s mission is to provide solutions to the environmental, health & safety, and societal issues caused by post consumer tire waste. #WomanOwnedWednesday
