2026 has been a challenging year for the image of Mississippi, but I have never been more optimistic about the people and the state.
As I have said before 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. This issue of our magazine is more proof of that. I am releasing this later than expected, mainly because I wanted to share with you pictures from the recent anniversary of WYAD 94.1 FM in Mississippi and this year's Mississippi Success Honorees.
Get to know Dr. Anissa Short, Dr. Victor D. White, Chuck Jett, Carlista Moorehead and Gloria Elayne-Owens as well as recording artist Kendrick S. Bridges, realtor Aarika Smith, author Janet Taylor-Perry and my good friend Melissa Summer Jacobsen.
In this issue you'll also find a list of books by Mississippians you should read and my list of Mississippians you should know.
As I have told you before 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!
