Your Future. Your Skills. Your Mississippi. Than Your Future. Your Skills. Your Mississippi. 

Thank you to Emily Henry and Amy Lucovich, New Albany Career Coaches, for allowing me to speak to their College and Career Readiness classes today!

I shared the importance of soft skills, preparing for success, and opportunities available right here in their home state. Whether they plan to attend a community college, university, or enter the workforce, they can stay in Mississippi and be successful!

A Day in the Delta! Yesterday, I had the best tim A Day in the Delta!

Yesterday, I had the best time visiting the Mississippi Delta! I started the day in Greenville at the Delta Hot Tamale Festival, where I had the opportunity to ride in the parade, meet their amazing community members, and enjoy delicious tamales.

I then traveled to the Washington County Welcome Center to deliver my portrait. Two down, eleven to go! 

I finished the day in Leland at the Birthplace of Kermit the Frog Museum. I learned about Jim Henson’s early life, how he got his start with the Muppets, and how he created Kermit the Frog. I also learned that he coined the term “Muppets” by combining the words marionette and puppet!

What a day! I’m so thankful for the opportunity to explore more of our great state!

Join me this year as I travel the state asking business owners, natives, and travelers, “Why Mississippi?” Through this journey, I will tell stories and discover why people from every walk of life choose Mississippi to live, work and play.
