Your go-to fun fact

I created a mental health awareness event in high school that brought together dozens of vendors, local officials, and students to break the stigma and build community in the Mississippi Delta.

Your “feel good” album

Anthony Hamilton – Comin’ From Where I’m From — southern soul meets deep storytelling.

If you had to be any type of bird, what type of bird would you be?

A hawk—sharp, grounded, and always moving with purpose.

What motivates you to be a changemaker in your community?

Where I come from, there’s no shortage of strength—just a shortage of support. I’m driven to create spaces where young people feel seen, heard, and backed, because I know what it’s like to grow up with something to say but nowhere to say it.
