Ramona Holloway has a new job at the Mint Museum.

Holloway, the Mint’s community relations and civic engagement director effective April 8, will help shape the museum’s vision in addition to expanding and enhancing programs, projects, and initiatives through community connections. She succeeds Rubie Britt-Height, who has been hired as WFAE-FM's director of community engagement and partnerships.

“I have long admired Rubie Britt-Height’s work in this space,” Holloway said in a statement. “I’m honored to build upon her foundation and continue fostering meaningful connections through the arts.”

A longtime presence in Charlotte broadcasting, Holloway was community affairs manager at Radio One Charlotte, where she oversaw community engagement. Before that, Holloway spent more than 20 years as co-host of “The Matt & Ramona Show” on Mix 107.9, The Link.

“As an inclusive advocate, storyteller, and community servant, Ramona is deeply passionate about the power of art to inspire and connect people,” Mint Museum senior director of learning and engagement Cynthia Moreno said in a statement. “Her exceptional record of community engagement, advocacy, and relationship building will help expand the Mint’s reach, making art accessible to new and diverse audiences.”

Holloway has served in advisory roles and on the boards of numerous local organizations, including the Alzheimer’s Association-Western Carolina Chapter, Assistance League of Charlotte, Holy Angels, and RAIN Inc. Developing ties and collaborations with community-based institutions has been part of Holloway’s professional career.

“This is truly my dream job because it allows me to bring people together through the inspirational, educational, and healing power of art,” she said.

Holloway, a three-time recipient of the Alliance for Women in Media’s Gracie Award (2009, 2010, 2011), has been recognized for community contributions, including QCity Metro’s Great 28 Black Charlotteans (2024), and Charlotte Magazine’s Best Radio Personality (2003, 2008, 2013).
