"I am humbled and excited to be named one of the 2024 Most Influential African Americans in Mississippi for my contributions to Education and Philanthropy. My goal has been to develop an organization that gives back to the community, provides jobs for others, and improves teacher instruction and student achievement in our state. I thank God, my family, colleagues, mentors, and friends who have supported me. I want to end with a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson that resonates with me: "Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude."
