To whom much is given, much is required. Pam "Boss Lady" Chatman lives this mantra through her business, "Boss Lady Economic Planning and Development". As a daughter of the Mississippi Delta, Pam is doing for others what was done for her: helping people as they try to help themselves. Pam, like her fellow Mississippians, is no stranger to hard work, but she also knows that hard work must meet opportunity in order to be fruitful; thus, she is working to make sure the two actually meet.

If you ask Mr. Johnson, "What do you do?", I hope you have some time. He is a musician, a human resources business partner, an author, and a puppeteer. Yes, this is a lot, and it is what he does to make sure his family members have what they need. Yet, he is not jaded by his commitment to living his life in Greenville, MS. He is balancing his love for the culture of the delta and making a living with his refusal to spend all of his energy chasing a dollar.

What are the chances that two young people, one from the East Coast and the other from the West Coast, would uproot their respective families and begin their lives in anew in the Mississippi Delta? Ben went to Clarksdale, MS, the birthplace of the blues, for a job and convinced Rebekah to come so that, together, they could strengthen a community, support the development of children, and make an impact in a part of the country where it would really count. Their work as the leaders of the Griot Arts Center and Meraki Roasting Company focuses on building relationships with the residents of Clarksdale to rewrite and broaden its narrative so that its history of racial division and financial struggle gives way to hope, prosperity, and a healed community.

Sirena's journey to founding Roc the Peace is one of tremendous courage and turning tragedy into something meaningful. On the other hand, she was open about her leadership challenges: what does a leader do when the organization turns into something very different from their initial vision for it?#communityviolence #communityorganizations #urbancommunities
