I'm not here to try to rewrite history or gloss over the problems and challenges of the state I love, but I am here to let you know this: there's more to Mississippi than meets the eye.
We've given birth to some of the most successful and impactful forces in music, literature, media and business. We've created changemakers, given hope to the hopeless and showcased that you don't have to be from the big cities to make a huge impact. And if you've ever doubted the greatness that is Mississippi, this issue of Mississippi Success is sure to give you something to think about.
As we say goodbye to 2025 and usher in a new year, I am glad to share these amazing profiles and individuals. Some will seem familiar to you. Others will be getting on your radar for the first time. The thing they all have in common is the greatness they are bringing to their own corners of the world. They are not just Mississippi Success. They are examples of success for us all.
One of the highlights of my year was on Wed. Oct. 29, 2025 when I along with my amazing team of Melissa Banks, TeKenya K. Johnson and Katherine Parker broke the Guinness World Record for Most TV Interviews in 12 Hours. We did it in Pearl, MS, and in that achievement I was joined by 48 amazing individuals not just from Mississippi but surrounding states who wanted to be a part of history. We did that in Mississippi.
I celebrate Mississippi Success, because it is a reminder for us all to celebrate no matter where we are. Sure, we might not be where others think we should be, but I want you to know that as long as you're putting forth your best, that is all it takes to make a difference.
Enjoy this issue. Enjoy the opportunities ahead. Enjoy your life and never doubt that you matter.
Happy Reading!
