JACKSON, Miss. - Wendy Lewis's parents were born in Mississippi. She is a former executive with McDonald’s and Major League Baseball and has been at the table of Fortune 500 companies and wants to share that knowledge.
Lewis is bringing a workshop to Jackson - which continues until 5 p.m. Friday - to focus on home ownership, business development and economic security.
Her company AllyShift, which holds these meetings across the country, is working to connect people with needed information and resources and with allies to help with home ownership, create businesses and generate economic opportunities.
There will be candid conversations about systemic issues. Lewis says Jackson has national attention and she is very much aware of the good and the bad but also its potential.
Panelists will help those who attend discover collective power in helping themselves and others. Panelists will also focus on investments, entrepreneurship, defining mental health and history.
Panelists include Dr. Nashlie Sephus, founder and CEO of The Bean Path here in Jackson, and Rev. Hickman Johnson, Executive Director of the Mississippi Regional Housing Authority. Lewis hopes to see students at the Town Hall.
The Town Hall will be held until 5 p.m. Friday at the JSU Student Service Center. Find more information about registration here. (WLBT 07/13/23)
