47 "Every social justice issue in our country, in some way, is connected to housing" says Andreanecia Morris, the Executive Director of HousingNOLA. While she has built her career on housing equity, she focuses her day-to-day efforts on addressing the housing crisis on New Orleans, Louisiana, one of America's poorest and blackest cities. She doesn't mince words about policies that are steeped in anti-black racism and respectability politics or the work that it takes to build an unapologetic agency.

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.
