NASHVILLE, TN — In 2020, Hopewell suffered major damages and displacement from the destruction of the tornado that passed through North Nashville; and on its heels, encountered many challenges from COVID. Thereby, our congregation has endured a period of many adjustments. Grief has been two-fold, being displaced from worshiping but more importantly overcoming grief from the passing of several loved ones in the congregation, including the First Lady. Despite it all, God has allowed Hopewell to witness countless acts of kindness and the remarkable generosity of area neighbors, the broader community of faith, friends, and city leaders. By God’s grace,…

By Dr. Chelsi West Ohueri The water crisis in Jackson, Miss., is not just the story of a city’s aging water-treatment system affected by recent severe weather. The roots of this crisis run far deeper. The story of Jackson’s water crisis is a story of white state leadership, a Black-led capital city, and ordinary inequality and racism. I am a scholar of race and inequality, and my first inquiries into these subjects began during childhood. Growing up in Jackson in the late 1980s and early ’90s, race and racism were often discussed in terms of interpersonal relationships. Some in our generation…

Participants were then asked to name companies other than their own that they…

The first-generation college graduate couldn’t help but get a little emotional.

With a daughter who’s currently a sophomore in high school and after 31 years of mostly working in marketing communication, she’s finally only several months away from becoming Dr. Trenay Perry Bynum. It’s kind of unreal to think about considering that Bynum grew…
