The scent of magnolia blossoms in the humid, thick air, with the stars overhead and the frogs singing… it’s May in Memphis y’all. #Memphis #Magnolias #MidSouth #Delta

Man, I just love the conversations I get to have where we strategize on how to help entrepreneurs from Memphis neighborhoods better serve their communities and grow their businesses. It gives me energy! #generationalwealth #blackbusiness #communitydevelopment

I am so thankful for Dr. King:

-Christ follower
-Advocate for the poor
-Intellectual
-Proponent of nonviolent change

In fact, working in the largest majority black city in the US, with a diverse staff, on behalf of the poor, I would not be here if not for him.

I may need to adopt the practice of yelling this (to adults).

Favorite moment of the day was overhearing the kids tussle in the front yard and my husband yell from atop the ladder where he was fixing a gutter, “EMPATHY!”

Turning vacant places into vibrant spaces in North Memphis. We have an awesome team -but one of the coolest things about this is the work is done by black entrepreneurs from our community. #GenerationalWealth
