When Katara McCarty sees a need, she tries to find a solution. That’s what led McCarty and her husband to start a church, a center for kids and a school in Africa.

Now, McCarty has a new project—a smart phone app called Exhale that is meant to help women of color cope with the stress, mind their mental health and develop confidence to achieve their goals.

McCarty talks with IBJ reporter Anthony Schoettle about why she thinks the app is needed, what it took to launch it and how she hopes to expand its offerings.

To learn more about the app, read Schoettle’s story here.
