Mississippi Is … Self-determined

While Mississippi is a complex place where children and families face many challenges, the Mississippi fellows in the WKKF Community Leadership Network are hopeful. The community, food, culture, music, and storytelling all feel like home. “Mississippi is self-determined – ordinary people doing extraordinary things,” shares Liz Broussard Red.

Through the fellowship, the Mississippi fellows are connecting with each other and across the country, innovating new ways to address barriers, and being “scrappy” in facilitating change for children and families to thrive.

Mississippi Is … Building Collective Leadership

Mississippi fellows of the WKKF Community Leadership Network reflect on the collective impact of the fellowship — from learning about themselves and how they fit into the whole; to connecting with each other; to understanding leadership in new ways and gaining tools to become more effective leaders. “This fellowship is really helping build collective leadership by connecting us together,” shares Alexandra Melnick.
