In this series, we've been exploring how centuries old laws have impacted people like Michael, and his brother Mikail, who was murdered in 2016. His case was transferred out of state court-even though like Michael, he is an enrolled Cherokee Freedmen.

Michael Hill is the CEO and Co-Founder of Well Groomed Pets, spearheading innovation in pet care. Michael's passion for animal welfare grew after the loss of a beloved family pet that succumbed to cancer—a loss that may have been avoided with early intervention. Combining his desire to provide preventative care for pets with his business acumen, he launched Well Groomed Pets, knowing that pet groomers touch and see family pets twenty times more often than a veterinarian does. Under his leadership, the franchise has revolutionized pet grooming services, prioritizing quality and convenience while providing a comprehensive nose-to-tail wellness check for every pet seen.
