T
ina Brooks, 43, says she enjoys working behind the scenes. Between her full-time job at Ross & Yerger Insurance and assisting her husband, Will Brooks, with his business, JellyDonut Studio, she has her hands full, but she says she finds purpose in helping others. Tina Brooks, who was born and raised in Yazoo City, earned an associate’s degree in office systems from Hinds Community College in 1997. She was introduced to the insurance field that same year when she began working for The Bottrell Agency, first in the mailroom, eventually working her way up to transcriber and then account assistant. In 2006, she joined Ross & Yerger Insurance and now holds the title of commercial account representative on the business’ energy team. Brooks says her favorite part of her job is her co-workers and the closeknit community. “It’s like being in a big family,” she says. When she is not at Ross & Yerger, she is usually helping her husband at JellyDonut Studio, a midtown business that specializes in print design and logo cre-
ation, often with a pop-culture emphasis. Brooks says she enjoys spending time at the studio because of the artistic neighborhood. “It gets us out and meeting new people,” she says. But Will isn’t the only person in the family who enjoys creating artwork. Brooks says she dabbles in painting and loves to attend painting classes at places like Easely Amused. “It’s mostly something I do to relax,” she says. “I like to paint angels and crosses. It is therapeutic, and I like to share my paintings with my family.” Much like her day job, Brooks says that the best thing about the capital city is the people who form it. “I like the diversity of the people who live in Jackson, the people that come together to make art happen, the creative people and all the different events,” she says. “People who say that nothing happens in Jackson are people who don’t look.” Tina and Will have been married for 15 years and have two cats, Zoe and Edgar.

Finding Community in a Calendar

typically so full of invites that just looking over them stresses me out. Facebook event invitations are basically the new Facebook game invitations. I am sure that I am not alone in this boat. So when your simple system is already overly complex, why would I ask you to further complicate things? Well, because our community could really use it. Over the past month or so, I have taken over the task of curating the Jackson Free Press’ online calendar and editing the event listings for printed issues. It is a pretty daunting assignment, to be frank. It has also bizarrely become one of the more rewarding parts of my job. For one thing, there is the fact that I get to play a role in helping thousands of readers around the Jackson metro area connect with each other and with their community as a whole. For another, admittedly less important thing, there are typically several times a week now when I put something on the calendar that makes me go, “Dang. Our city is cool.” Working at the Jackson Free Press, everyone sort of becomes a representative for the whole publication. Pretty frequently, someone I only know in passing will say, “So that story was pretty crazy, huh?” Often, that will be apropos of nothing so I flat-out have no idea which story they’re
referring to, and just as often, Plenty of local restaurants, businesses and venues they’ll be referring to a story also regularly open their doors that I did not write.

Plugging Kids into Mental Health
August 8 - 21, 2018 • jfp.ms

Delreco Harris
O
n a sticky and still June weekday, kids trickled into the cool, airconditioned room on the second floor of New Horizon Church that smelled like homemade enchiladas. Some had swimsuits on under their clothes and carried backpacks with towels. It was a pool day. To an outsider, this could be any community summer camp or school program—but it is much more. NFusion Metro is a community-based mentalhealth-care program primarily for ages 11 to 18 years old in the Jackson area. During the summer, counselors are doing themed weeks for their lesson time. On June 8, the “Around the World” theme was focused on Mexico. NFusion staff made enchiladas and virgin margaritas for the students to supplement their bag lunches and engage them in the lesson. After lunch the students went to swim at the community pool and then came back for group or individual therapy. NFusion Metro differs from regular therapy for youth largely due to the environment. No part of the program’s rented space on the second floor of New Horizon Church feels like a doctor’s office. A long, open hallway connects staff offices. Counselors, whom the organization calls clinical care coordinators, share office space, and printed-out selfies adorn their doors. “What we’re trying to do is have a non-traditional approach to therapy,” NFusion Metro Program Director Sabrina Vance told the Jackson Free Press in February. “There is such a stigma regarding mental health, so the reason why we’re not at the community mental-health center is because this age we work with— that population—they don’t want anyone to know that they’re receiving services. … “We’re trying to provide a stigma-free environment, and that’s why we’re here at New Horizon Church.” The advantage of a program like NFusion Metro, Shakena Lee-Bowie, one of the counselors at NFusion Metro says, is that she can do non-traditional therapy. Vance said some young people come to the program through referrals from Hinds

Behavioral Health Services or HenleyYoung Juvenile Justice Center. Other times, families find the program through word-ofmouth or another doctor’s referral. ‘It Caught Me Off Guard’ Evandia Woods remembers sitting in the room with her son, Von’Tavius, during a regular doctor checkup and was stunned to hear his affirmative answers to questions
about thinking of harming himself. “It caught me off guard,” Woods told the Jackson Free Press in February. “I was thankful because I had no idea. ... (He) went day-by-day just happy and doing things like he normally (would), so I had no idea.” The doctor referred her son to NFusion Metro, and Woods has seen dramatic changes in his behavior and their relation-
ship since then. She said her son was not a big socializer before starting the program, but now that he has been in it for more than a year, he looks forward to interacting with his peers there. “He comes every day that he can,” Woods said. “It was real friendly and open; they made us feel like we were welcome.” When a family signs up to be a part of the system of care, the child, guardian,

We decided to compile a list of our most real insider advice. • Summer ends by Halloween. Usually. Maybe. If we’re lucky. • If you get your own apartment or house and get a water bill, it will make no sense. • We’re really not kidding about the potholes. Slow down and be vigilant.
• Bring a sweater in the summer and dress in layers in the winter. (Frequently building interiors are around 60 degrees when it’s hottest outside and 80 degrees when it’s coldest.) • Get out of your comfort zone and meet new people
across the city. Jackson has an extremely diverse culture. •Don’t listen to the naysayers who say Jackson is a bad place. It’s not. It’s got its flaws, for sure, but it’s a creative, innovative city that’s actively trying to do better.

PARKLAND BRINGS GUNFIGHT TO JACKSON Thalia Mara Hall 255 E. Pascagoula St. Students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., were in Jackson on Aug. 2. They held a town hall meeting with students from the metro Jackson area, speaking out against gun violence.

and counselor sit at the table and decide on what boundaries and care are necessary. Youth get individual and group therapy sessions as a part of the program, but they also have access to their counselor more directly. NFusion accepts all insurance, including Medicaid, and the program currently runs through a federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant. Parents and guardians get plugged into their child’s mental-health care at NFusion, too. The program hosts nights specifically for parents to help break down the stigma of mental illness and bridge communication gaps. At Their Level Nadia Snyder has struggled with attention-deficit hyperactive disorder and got in trouble for acting out in school during middle school. She went to Hinds Behavioral Health for services, but at some point, her health-care coverage cut out, and she fell into a gap during middle school. When she was referred to NFusion Metro, she was nervous.
“I don’t know these people. How can I relate to these people?” she recalls thinking when she first started. Bowie, Snyder’s care coordinator, agreed that Snyder should stick with it. She had a busy senior year. She was working two jobs, participated in Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps and was expected to help at home as the only child still living there. She came to the program when she could. Eventually, Snyder took a break from working and was able to start coming to group more. “It helps me getting along with people because I’m really not a people person,” Snyder told JFP. Snyder, who is 18 and recently graduated from Forest Hill High School, says NFusion Metro is different than other therapies she has gone through. She can text Bowie and keep her updated on how she is doing at school or work. “Because we do nontraditional therapy, she will text me about issues that she has … and she’ll tell me how she handled them in a positive way instead of snapping off or some of the old behaviors,” Bowie said. “So she’ll text me
and say, ‘This is how I corrected it or chose to ignore it.’” The program has eased tensions in Snyder and her mother’s relationship, Snyder said, and she helps out a lot more at home. Bowie attended Snyder’s graduation from Forest Hill High School, and Snyder plans to attend a local junior college. In the meantime, she can still come to group and individual sessions at NFusion Metro because the program can serve youth up to 26 years old. Vance is focused on making the program sustainable in the coming months, so it can continue after 2020 when the grant funds run out. Currently, the program is capped at 30 students a day, with a maximum of 10 students per counselor. This, of course, limits the reach of a communitybased system of care. Vance said her goal is to create Rankin and Madison County NFusion Metro programs. There are six SAMSHA-funded system-of-care programs similar to NFusion Metro statewide, including ones in Oxford, Southaven and Columbus. Comment at jacksonfreepress.com.

How was your first year on council? You know, I think this has been one of the most interesting years of my life, and that’s saying something because I’ve done some interesting things. There’s been a newness at the City level, some excitement about what could be. But there have certainly been challenges, I mean breathtaking challenges with schools, the infrastructure and the state of the financial bottom line of

irgi Lindsay’s Belhaven home sits atop a hilled driveway. Inside, it feels like a boutique hotel lobby with large, esteemed coffee-table books such as Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Inside and Out,” the “Encyclopedia of Southern Culture,” and one about the artist Henri Matisse’s radical years. During an interview in her living room on July 2, Lindsay reflected on her first year as councilwoman for Ward 7, and what she hopes for the City in the future. The next day, her colleagues elected her to serve as vice president of the council. While answering questions, Lindsay chews over the best way to say things, as any journalist would when on the other side of the tape recorder. When she came to Jackson in the 1980s, she worked as a reporter for The Clarion-Ledger. She later served as public relations director for Jackson Public Schools, the executive director of Belhaven Neighborhood Foundation, and on the board of directors for the Jackson Zoo. Over the last year, Lindsay, 61, has been outspoken about the City fund balance, Jackson Public Schools, libraries and the zoo. Shedding her rookie title, she looks forward improving infrastructure and quality of life in the City.

solving water, sewer, streets (and) drainage issues will not be fixed overnight. I often tell my friends that I am not doing this for my generation, or even for my children’����� s generation, but I’m doing this for my grandchildren because I think it’s going to take that long to get it resolved. How was your time on the zoo board? Any thoughts about the zoo? My time on the zoo board was again filled with a lot of hard decisions to be made. I just am very sad that here we are at the 100th anniversary at the zoo and it is, for all practical purposes, just not doing well. So I think some hard decisions have got to be made. ... The zoo is a long way from moving, I think. It’s going to cost a whole lot of money, and it will take a real commitment from the city to get that done. Not the city with a capital “c”—it will take a real commitment from the community to get that done. What’s it like working with Mayor Lumumba? I’m fortunate to have a good working
easier to get things done when people answer your phone calls. Are you looking forward to cementing a better process of what the City will fund? I thought we’d done that last year. I think as we move forward, we really have to look at what’s practical for this city. We all would like to fund everything that makes folks feel good—that’s lagniappe for politicians. But, we’re not at that place right now in our city. While I think it’s really important that our departments look at ways to improve quality-of-life activities for people who live here, and really draw people back to the City, I think we have to be very careful to put some specific processes in place. I think the Department of Parks and Recreation should be completely self sufficient. ... At some point in time, we really, in essence, threw away some of our greatest assets, and that’s our city parks. And we quit using them, and we quit funding them, we quit taking care of them. And there is no reason why that department, with all the activities it’s planning and is doing, shouldn’t be operating in the black with a
surplus. And I think we’re moving in that direction, but, it’s going to take a minute. How do you feel about JPS since avoiding the state takeover? (A)t the time (of the looming state takeover) the politics of it had to be handled really carefully, but I was really involved behind the scenes, and that’s how I like to get things done: under the radar, behind the scenes. So, I am cautiously optimistic. One of the most important things that happened was that we got to look at the school board in a totally different way. That was a real gift. ... I’m anxious to see who they’re going to hire as the new school superintendent. I think that is critical. It’s got to be someone who, and I hope, is someone who can make really, really hard decisions because a lot have got to be made. From what I’ve seen, the organizational and operational structure are going to be key. What are your focus points going to be in the next year on council? I’m looking forward to working a little more closely with the (Hinds County) Board of Supervisors. My ward is so bizarre; I think I touch almost every supervisor’s district. I’ve been working with the administration to figure out these interlocal agreements. ... We’ve got to get the ball more down the road on all the issues in the consent-decree requirements, and doing all this within a balanced budget. … I continue to watch for ways to grow and improve the departments for our first responders. ...We need to find a way to pay our public-works employees more so we can actually hire some to do the work—I think that’s a priority. I continue to be concerned about the state of our library facilities. I believe that cities must have good libraries, and I want to work with the administration to see what we can do to resolve some of these facility issues. ... Also, I think it’s real important for us to continue to find ways to attract new businesses and industry to our city and housing. I very much want to continue to work with our planning department in assisting them in any way possible to do that. We’ve got to keep looking at ways to bring people to our city. … Read a longer version of this interview at jfp.ms/lindsay. Follow city reporter Ko Bragg on Twitter @keaux_ for breaking news.

hen I started first grade at Anniston Avenue Elementary in Gulfport, Miss, there was one little girl in the class who was African American. Her name was Mary. The year was 1965, and it would be a few more years before other children of color were bused into our school for forced integration. I don’t remember any of the others, but I remember Mary. She was in my class all the way through high-school graduation. She appeared at subsequent high-school reunions, showing off pictures of her children and telling of her life journey since our parting. She became a school teacher. Yes, there were other classmates of color along the way who became our friends, but Mary was different. Different because she was there on the first day of first grade. At 6 years old, I knew my colors, and I knew Mary’s skin was different from mine. I knew her hair and pigtails were different from mine. I knew her parents were older and lived on the edge of the neighborhood our school served.
Real change only comes to those who are open to new people and new ideas.
But she was just Mary, our playmate. Mary, the girl we ate lunch with in the cafeteria. Mary, the one we gossiped with before class. Mary, who turned into a woman and shared our memories of growing up in Gulfport. On a trip home for one of those high-school reunions, I sat around my 10 parents’ kitchen table recounting the

President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which included Title IV provisions to de-segregate public schools that the U.S. Supreme Court had ordered in 1954. However, it would take another high court decision in 1969 to force desegregation of all Mississippi schools.
journeys of my classmates. I mentioned Mary. And that is when my father spoke up and told an incredulous story. Basically, he claimed Mary was planted in my first-grade class to ease the way for integration. Yes, I noticed her parents were much older—more like the age of my grandparents. They had been childless until Mary came along, and she was exceptionally gifted. But a plant? Was this a conspiracy theory espoused by my father, or did this really happen? I could hardly believe my ears, but a 6-year-old would never question the arrangement that brought in a new classmate and playmate. My parents did. I may never know if this really happened, but it made me look at the situation differently. I grew up in the transition between Brown v. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But I grew up on the white side. Mary was on the other side, maybe assigned to straddle the fence as a firstgrader. I didn’t see her as different, but she was. She faced the barriers in place for people of color, dealt with the prejudice of those around her. Nonetheless, she stood bravely as the only little black girl in that first-grade classroom full of white faces. I wonder about her memories from those days. If the intent was to change the at-
titudes of a generation, it worked. Unlike the flight to council schools that occurred in other parts of the state, integration on the coast came and went without much notice. White families there lacked the resources to afford private schooling, so we stayed put and learned to get along. The moral of the story? Real change only comes to those who are open to new people and new ideas. A 6-year-old is a delightful open book, which is why segregated schools, churches and neighborhoods are such “dangers” to society. They lock us into a mindset as adults that change can rarely touch. I hope Mary was a plant.

Many people know “Orange Is the New Black” but are maybe more familiar with the show. It’s one thing to tell your own story in the book, but what was it like to trust someone to adapt it? The adaptation obviously is not a biopic. [Laughs] Even in the very first season, there are these big deviations from the true stories that are told in the book. But I think the thing that’s most important about the adaptation is not anything related to my own personal stories, but the inherent truth of all the stories and all the protagonists it represents. So some of the characters are familiar adaptations of people who appear in the book. So there’s a “Pennsatucky” in the book, and there’s a “Crazy Eyes” in the book, though both of those real people are very, very different from those characters. There are some of the characters in the show who are not adapted from the book, like Gloria, but have these incredibly truthful, real stories. And that’s the thing that makes me really happy about that adaptation. You know, I think, stepping back, it’s hard 12 to do an adaptation from the page,

with the book and hopefully what the show has done, is really establish these people as protagonists who happen to be prisoners. I really hope that fans of the show extend their thinking about these characters they love so much to the real people who are right there in their community, in their states, who are part of the same (group) who have either done time in the past or are doing time now.
Piper Kerman on Prison Reform by Micah Smith
Michael Oppenheim/ courtesy Lyceum Agency
or five years, audiences across the world have tuned in to watch Netflix’s hit show “Orange Is the New Black.” The comedy-drama became a cultural phenomenon early on, earning a dozen Emmy Award nominations in its first season and picking up a GLAAD Media Award, a Peabody Award and many other acknowledgements along the way. Despite the show’s popularity, some viewers may not realize the story of lead character Piper Chapman is loosely based on the true story of author Piper Kerman, laid out in her memoir, “Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison” (Spiegel & Grau, 2011, $16). Like her TV counterpart, a romantic partner introduced Kerman into a heroinsmuggling ring, and although she left that life after a short time, her decisions led to an indictment for drug smuggling and money laundering nearly a decade later. After getting out of prison in 2005, Kerman faced a decision: put the experience behind her or use it to effect change. She began advocating for criminal-justice reform, most recently through her work with organizations such as the Women’s Prison Association and as a creative writing educator in Ohio state prisons. The Jackson Free Press recently got on the phone with Kerman, who will be the guest speaker for the Greater Jackson Arts Council’s 2018 Creative Impact Luncheon on Aug. 23, to talk about the reality in “Orange Is the New Black” and the role of the arts in prison reform.
“Orange Is the New Black” author Piper Kerman’s experiences in a women’s prison have been a catalyst for her work in criminal-justice reform.
from a book, whether it’s fiction or nonfiction (brought) to the screen. The screen, television or film, is just a very different medium. It’s much more reliant on external conflict, right? Person-to-person conflict. It’s a much harder medium in which to illuminate internal conflict, introspection. You often have to turn to a book for that. So the two are different in many, many ways, but I couldn’t be more grateful and happy that someone has created this. (Show creator) Jenji Kohan wanted to adapt the book, and of course, Jenji attracted so many incredibly talented people to work on it, and here we are already at work on the seventh season, so I’m thrilled.
Among Jenji’s previous work, I was most familiar with “Weeds,” so I understood sort of the tone and approach of that show. … It’s not a surprise to me that she took that approach. It obviously does differ from the book. I think that I do have a sense of humor, but the book is not comic. The show is sometimes comic, but it’s sometimes incredibly tragic, and that’s an honest reflection of what it is like to survive behind the walls of a prison. There are times when you’re incarcerated where if you didn’t laugh, you would cry, and it’s important to include those moments, right? That’s part of being human, and that’s what I wanted to do
Even in the subtitle of your book, you don’t shy away from the fact you spent a relatively short amount of time in prison. Why was that important to you? I came home from prison in 2005, and you know, I was very lucky. I spent a short amount of time in prison. I served 13 months of a 15-month sentence. I was much, much more fortunate than many of the women I served time with. I had a safe place to live. I had a job. I had access to health care. I had many, many things. You know, I had a college education that no strip search could take away from me. So I came home, and I was very conscious of the fact that all those privileges and benefits were going to help me come home successfully, with support and love from my family and friends. And I really want that for everybody. But it was important that—you know, I had potentially more prospect at “putting this experience behind me,” but I just couldn’t really do that. I felt like I had seen and witnessed a lot of injustice in the criminal justice system, ironically, and that many people in this country have no idea what’s happening. More people ought to think about that and know about it if we’re going to be the most incarcerated society in history, which is what we are. There is no society that has ever locked so many of its people up. So I think people need to be much more aware of that reality and why that’s true, how much race has to do with who is incarcerated and who goes into the criminal justice system—that’s a huge determinant factor—and how much poverty determines who goes into the criminal justice system— that’s a huge determinant factor. Then, when people have been informed, they can (decide) whether they really think it’s a good thing for us to be the most incarcerated society in human history. Everyone has to make up their own mind about that, but people should be well informed about who’s really behind bars in this country and why that’s so. For a while now, you’ve been involved with advocacy for prison reform. How has that experience affected you? I am an inherently glass-half-full

of (connection to them), even though not everyone’s family has actually gone through the experience of incarceration. But you know, these questions bedevil every single community, and they’re very serious problems that confront us, in terms of substance-abuse disorder, in terms of violence between intimates—you know, almost all violence is between people who know each other—and in terms of mental illness. And the blunt truth is that prisons and jails are not good tools to fix those problems, and yet, that’s exactly what we task them to do. I think many people in this country, after 40 years of mass incarceration, are alert to the reality that what we’re doing currently is not working. People are interested in dialog, in learning more and talking more, and there is an increasing interest in holding the people who operate the criminal justice system more accountable. That’s sort of the ironic truth, that police and prosecutors and judges and correctional workers are often not accountable for what happens under their watch. We see that with police violence, we see that with false convictions, and we see that with some of the abuse that happens within prison walls. And I think there is an increasing call for people who we’ve endowed with a great amount of power over other people’s lives
to be more accountable and to make better choices themselves. … That kind of conversation needs to happen at the local level, at the city level, at the county level. That’s where the action is. A lot of your advocacy work has revolved around things like creative-writing programs for inmates. Why do you feel the arts are important to combat these problems? Well, there are several reasons. So yeah, I live in Ohio now, and I teach narrative nonfiction writing in two state prisons there: a men’s medium-security facility and the primary women’s prison in Ohio. And I do that because, first and foremost, I was so fortunate to be able to share my own story, and I think that we should have a lot more stories to really understand where we’re at. A single story could never explain something as complex as the American criminal justice system. But I think for that to happen, we really have to listen to the men, the women and the children— because we do lock up a lot of children in this country in the juvenile justice system. We really want to understand how are we at this point where we’re at. … These stories are fascinating and incredibly compelling, and some of them are funny, and some of them are, I can’t even tell you how heartbreaking. But when they learn how to tell their story in a way that is more easily understood by a wider number of people, I think that’s important for them, as well. I think my students start to recognize that their stories and their lives are important, and quite frankly, many of them, especially my female students, have been told their entire lives that their lives are not important. We’re talking about some of the most marginalized people in our communities, whether you’re talking about people of color, whether you’re talking about sex workers, whether you’re talking about mentally ill people or people with substance-abuse disorder. These are people we push to the margins of society. We tell them directly or we tell them with our actions that they’re not important. When my students get to tell their own story on their terms, they start to recognize the importance of their lives, and that’s a really important turning point for them to then have a greater sense of agency over their lives. I love this work. I’ve done it for almost four years now, and it’s one of the most important things I’ve ever done. The GJAC Creative Impact Luncheon is Thursday, Aug. 23, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Old Capitol Inn (226 N. State St.). Admission is $50 per person. Visit greaterjacksonartscouncil.com.

I’ve been to 48 states in this country now, and I’ve met people all over the country, and people are very interested in talking and thinking more about these questions because, of course, everyone has some sort

Christopher Rash Age: 28 Student at Jackson State University Shawn Gaar Age: 31 Placement manager for Payment Alliance International “Simply respecting one another and not stereotyping can end a lot of issues and help build stronger bonds within the city.”
“The one thing that I can say can be improved about the Jackson area is to make it more millennial-friendly. I think Mississippi overall is … a retirement state. And I think, for the retention of getting millennials to stay and work here in the state—I think if we make it more millennial-friendly and bring … activities and different events and … restaurants and … fun things to do here in the city, that would actually make (Jackson) overall a better experience for everyone.”

M
useums are rich with knowledge, culture and history, and the city of Jackson is lucky to be home to so many of these great establishments. Here is a list of mustsee quirky or interesting things for you to experience as a museum visitor.
“Wailing Woman,” now on display at the museum. It is a statue of a woman who is partially naked and crying. old CApiTol MuSeuM (100 S. State St., 601-576-6920, oldcapitolmuseum.com) During the Civil War era, a Union soldier removed draperies from the building, and had the fabrics sewn into a shirt and cap. Descendants of the soldier gave the artifacts to the state, and a replica made of the shirt now appears on display. MiSSiSSippi MuSeuM oF nATurAl SCienCe (2148 Riverside Drive, 601-5766000, mdwfp.com/museum) In 2005, a father and daughter gave a two-headed snake to the museum. It has a rare condition known as diprosopus, which causes two heads to grow.

Mississippi Civil Rights Museum
MiSSiSSippi MuSeuM oF ArT (380 S. Lamar St., 601-960-1515, msmuseum art.org) The Mississippi Museum of Art is full of interesting paintings, but one of its quirkier features isn’t a painting—it’s the Art Garden. In the spring and summer, the garden turns into a picturesque scene with colorful flowers and tall plants, and outdoor art such as Pearl River Glass Studio’s glass wall against the back fence. inTernATionAl MuSeuM oF MuSliM CulTureS (201 E. Pascagoula St., muslimmuseum.org) The museum’s exhibition, “Legacy of Timbuktu: Wonders of the Written Word” has ancient African manuscripts on display that represent the Islamic and intellectual heritage of West Africa before enslaved Africans were brought to America. The documents reveal that Timbuktu was an important learning center during a legacy of great development for West Africa.
MiSSiSSippi CHildren’S MuSeuM (2145 Museum Blvd., 601-981-5469, mschildrensmuseum.org) The Literacy Garden, inspired by the poem, “The Enchanted Land of Story” by Sherry Norfolk, is an interactive environment for children to explore books and nature. The museum’s website says that since 2014, this oasis has encouraged learning outside of the classroom with “literacy-inspired sculptures, innovative technology, and native plants.” It even has pink mushrooms. MiSSiSSippi AGriCulTure And ForeSTry MuSeuM (1150 Lakeland Drive, 601-432-4500, msagmuseum.com) If you’re afraid of getting your mustache wet while drinking tea, this museum has the solution. It has an antique teacup with a built-in mustache guard in the center. It also has another oddity: a sixfingered glove with two thumbs. MiSSiSSippi Civil riGHTS MuSeuM (222 North St., Suite 2205, 601-576-6800, mscivilrightsmuseum) An imprisoned Freedom Rider, Carol Ruth Silver, made a chess set using breadcrumbs and saliva while at Parchman Prison. Some of the darker chess pieces are marked with blood. The artifact is on loan from the Tougaloo College Civil Rights Collection.
SMiTH roberTSon MuSeuM And CulTurAl CenTer (628 Bloom St., 601960-1457) Wood artist Laverne Hamberlin from Fayette, Miss., carved a piece called the
MiSSiSSippi MuSeuM oF HiSTory (222 North St., Suite 1206, 601-576-6800, mmh.mdah.ms.gov) Sicilian immigrants brought a vintage wine press Natchez, Miss. It’s now on exhibit in a museum gallery, where it represents Sicilian life and culture in Mississippi.

Question: What Jackson Needs
18
Elisha Parris Age: 22 Teacher at Northwest Jackson Middle School
“Jackson obviously needs to increase infrastructure and funding going toward infrastructure and education. We need more affordable options for adolescents within the city limits. … There need to be more opportunities for students to show and display their art.
Zac Zachow Age: 24 Engineer at Siemens
“I think that if we want real progress in our state, and in Jackson especially, we need to focus on improving our primary public education. I think that we should raise teacher salaries so that we can compete for the best teachers and put money more into the academics, not just more towards athletics. Cutting education budgets is shooting the next generation in the foot.” —Jenna Gibson
Maisie Brown Age: 16 Student at Murrah High School
“I know that Jackson has good leadership and effective leadership, but I think what Jackson needs is more input (from) the community, and more communication within the administration and the community, so that people don’t feel so left out, and people will feel like their voices are heard.”
Jake Tipton Age: 20 Student at Millsaps College
“What I’d like to see changed in Jackson is the negative assumptions that are placed on this city by people who haven’t necessarily been to or have lived in Jackson—because although the city does have a lot of issues, so do most capital cities. Jackson has a lot of potential to grow, and we can already see some of that hospitality and determination paying off with the development of Fondren (and) The District. I wish people saw Jackson more for its opportunities instead of its downfalls.”

T
he City with Soul will once again welcome the man behind “Got Soul” this month. New Jersey outfit Robert Randolph & the Family Band will return to Jackson on Aug. 11 to play for the 14th annual Bright Lights Belhaven Nights. The latest installment of the festival will also feature performances from Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, The Weeks, Becca Mancari and many others. The Jackson Free Press recently spoke with Randolph over the phone about his career, his art and the appeal of pedal steel. Here’s an excerpt from the interview. Pedal steel isn’t typically seen as a “front and center” instrument. Why do you think that is, and why has Robert Randolph & the Family Band been able to make it work? Man, everybody is just a little different. Every band sort of has a significant sound, and you know, you go back in history and you think of guys like Bo Diddly, who was really just like a rhythm player with different rhythms that he brought to the industry. Certain guys—you know John Popper, who was a harmonica player—and all these guys who were so different, it’s just, you focus on your craft, and you be the best you can be, you write good songs, and you bring good energy. That’s what makes people different. Visit jfp.ms/familyband to read the full interview.
THURSDAY 8/9 The Thinker’s Fair is from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Jackson Medical Mall (350 W. Woodrow Wilson Ave.). The family-friendly event features interactive stations

We believe that Jennifer embodies each of the selection criteria. Jennifer is bold, daring, and unapologetic about her desire to dismantle barriers to opportunity for others. She has consistently demonstrated resilience to change and advanced the trajectory toward success for others. Jennifer is an overcomer, hurdling obstacles that dared attempt to block her own personal career path, as she was determined to be in pursuit of creating equitable opportunities for others. Jennifer has often been heard remarking that she is “blessed with privilege; the privilege of education, opportunity, a secure family and position, and with that privilege comes a responsibility to empower others”. Our organization as well as the legal profession, and the state of Mississippi, are fortunate to have her constantly and intently working toward a society where there is “justice for all”. Her tireless efforts often go unspoken and unnoticed by those she seeks to assist. She never demands gratitude nor acknowledgment. Instead, she “looks long” to see what next she can do for “we the people”.

be kind of like that world citizen, global kid—that’s kind of how I came up with that name. ... Teaching kids or helping kids become ... citizens of the world.” Daniels, who is originally from Arizona, met her husband Jason Daniels when she was working as a business consultant for Nationwide Insurance in California. The couple moved to Nashville in 2006 and then married in 2007. In December 2012, they
moved to Jackson. Last year, they opened Jax-Zen with the goal of giving Jacksonians both a place to relax, and a place to explore creation and mindfulness. About six months ago, the Daniels officially launched the creative arm of the business: The Community Canvas at Jax-Zen. “I bring in different artists to facilitate, and I teach as well,” Jina Daniels says. “ ... It’s been in progress for the last year and a half. We pretty much just launched the Community Canvas and formally rebranded (it) ... about six months ago. But it’s always been a work in progress.” This summer, they decided to add the camp, and plan to continue it with a six-week afterschool camp in August. She says it is essential to personal development that children grow up aware of the similarities as well as the differences between their own cultures and the cultures of the rest of the world. “...We’re learning about other cultures through art, currently. Eventually I’ll add music and mindfulness and body movement— maybe kiddie yoga to it,” she says. “I want it to be well-rounded, kind of like we talked about with the adults. ... Currently, It’s mostly art, but there’s this element of learning.” She says that as she adds different incentives to the program like dance, music and more mindfulness practices, the name may change to include more of what the camp offers, not just the art aspect. Daniels kept the summer classes small, at about seven or eight students, so she could teach the camps herself, but she hopes to bring the number of children involved up to 12, and maybe hire an assistant after that. Though she says that Kidi-Zen is “just in its infancy,” she’s planning to collaborate with other organizations in future because she wants this to be a community-driven project. The Kidi-Zen After School Multicultural Art Camp is Aug. 16Sept. 20. The cost for the six-week program is $150, and drop-in rates are $35 per session.

Six Easy Way to Support Your Local Farmers by Lauren Rhoades
LAUREN RHOADES
3
Try a community-supported agriculture program. Basically, a CSA is a season-long investment in your groceries. You pay a farmer up front for 12 or 18 weeks of produce, and each week you pick up a box filled with that week’s harvest. If you’re not sure you can use up all those veggies, split the box (and the cost) with a friend.
4
Cook more. People who cook at home tend to eat healthier and consume fewer calories than people who don’t. Cooking at home also saves money, which you can invest in higher quality, locally grown ingredients. Ask your farmer for tips on roasting that head of cauliflower or making a homemade tomato sauce.
Local produce is a delicious and important part of our food system.

ave you ever bitten into a juicy heirloom tomato from the farmers market? Or have you fried an egg from a pasture-raised chicken and noticed its bright orange, nutrient-rich yolk? If you answered yes, then you know we have our local farmers to thank for those incredible taste experiences. But of course, our palates are not the only ones that benefit from choosing to buy local. Supporting our small farmers strengthens the local economy, is better for the environment and leads to better public-health outcomes. Do you want to know how you can support local farmers beyond your weekly trips to the farmers market? Here are a few ways to start:
1
Choose restaurants that source their ingredients locally. Supporting businesses who make the extra effort to source high-quality, seasonal ingredients means that 28
the money we spend on our meal is circulating back into our community. Many items that restaurants use could easily be sourced locally. If your favorite restaurants or cafes are not sourcing locally, you can point them in the direction of a local producer. They may not know that they have these options. Be sure to say that you would support their decision to buy local even if that means a slight increase in price. Because it’s worth it, right?
2
Choose local items at the grocery store. In a sea of produced shipped in from California, Mexico and even Chile, there is occasionally a glint of something grown locally. I’ve found Mississippi-grown strawberries at McDade’s Markets, local collard greens at Piggly Wiggly and local hydroponic lettuce at Whole Foods Market. Tell your grocers that you appreciate the local items and that you would buy more if they carried more.
5
Get the most out of your farmers market. It all comes back to that, doesn’t it? Think beyond fruits and veggies. Buy your milk in returnable glass bottles. Ask the farmer for pork bones to make your own nutrientdense bone broth. Buy bundles of zinnias and sunflowers for a fraction of what they’d cost at the florist. And buy in bulk. You’ll save money by getting a flat of blueberries or 10 pounds of eggplant at once.
6
Take pictures of your local produce. Fresh fruits and veggies tend to be highly photogenic. Share pictures of your farmers market haul, your CSA box or your homecooked dinner. Follow your farmers on social media, and be sure to tag them in your posts! Encouraging our friends and family to buy local goes a long way in creating a healthier, more sustainable food system. Lauren Rhoades wants everybody to love sauerkraut as much as she does. She is a fermenter, writer, lowbrow foodie and the founder of Jackson-based Sweet & Sauer.
Kale is full of antioxidants, it’s anti-inflammatory, it help with bone strength, keeps your regular, is full of hard-to-get nutrients, is rich in iron and omega-3 fatty acids, and offers over 45 flavonoids with a ton of benefits. Using EasyKale, you can shake kale into any recipe, smoothie, sauce or on your entree. A teaspoon roughly equals a cup of leafy kale.

“Greater-Than Sudoku”
For this ‘Greater-Than Sudoku,’ I’m not giving you ANY numbers to start off with! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger. Fill in every square with a number from 1-9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as in a normal Sudoku, every row, column and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1-9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1s and 9s in each box first, then move on to the 2s and 8s, and so on). psychosudoku@gmail.com

Classifieds as low as $35 You probably gaze at the sky enough to realize when there’s a full moon. But you may not monitor the heavenly cycles closely enough to tune in to the new moon, that phase each month when the lunar orb is invisible. We astrologers regard it as a ripe time to formulate fresh intentions. We understand it to be a propitious moment to plant metaphorical seeds for the desires you want to fulfill in the coming four weeks. When this phenomenon happens during the astrological month of Leo, the potency is intensified for you. Your next appointment with this holiday is Aug. 10 and 11.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
In her poem “Dogfish,” Virgo poet Mary Oliver writes, “I wanted the past to go away, I wanted to leave it.” Why? Because she wanted her life “to open like a hinge, like a wing.” I’m happy to tell you, Virgo, that you now have more power than usual to make your past go away. I’m also pleased to speculate that as you perform this service for yourself, you’ll be skillful enough to preserve the parts of your past that inspire you, even as you shrink and neutralize memories that drain you. In response to this good work, I bet your life will open like a hinge, like a wing—no later than your birthday, and most likely before that.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Libran fashion writer Diana Vreeland (1903-1989) championed the beauty of the strong nose. She didn’t approve of women wanting to look like “piglets and kittens.” If she were alive today, she’d be pleased that nose jobs in the U.S. have declined 43 percent since 2000. Journalist Madeleine Schwartz wrote in Garage magazine that historians of rhinoplasty say there has been a revival of appreciation for the distinctive character revealed in an unaltered nose. I propose, Libra, that in accordance with current astrological omens, we extrapolate some even bigger inspiration from that marvelous fact. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to celebrate and honor and express pride in your idiosyncratic natural magnificence.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
“Maybe happiness is this: not feeling like you should be elsewhere, doing something else, being someone else.” This definition, articulated by author Isaac Asimov, will be an excellent fit for you between now and Sept. 20. I suspect you’ll be unusually likely to feel at peace with yourself and at home in the world. I don’t mean to imply that every event will make you cheerful and calm. What I’m saying is that you will have an extraordinary capacity to make clear decisions based on accurate appraisals of what’s best for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
I’ve compiled a list of new blessings you need and deserve during the next 14 months. To the best of my ability, I will assist you to procure them. Here they are: a practical freedom song and a mature love song; an exciting plaything and a renaissance of innocence; an evocative new symbol that helps mobilize your evolving desires; escape from the influence of a pest you no longer want to answer to; insights about how to close the gap between the richest and poorest parts of yourself; and the cutting of a knot that has hindered you for years.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
“It has become clear to me that I must either find a willing nurturer to cuddle and nuzzle and whisper sweet truths with me for six hours or else seek sumptuous solace through the aid of eight shots of whiskey.” My Capricorn friend Tammuz confided that message to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were feeling a comparable tug. According to my assessment of the Capricorn zeitgeist, you acutely need the revelations that would become available to you through altered states of emotional intelligence. A lavish whoosh of alcohol might do the trick, but a more reliable and effective method would be through immersions in intricate, affectionate intimacy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Not even 5 percent of the world’s population lives in a complete democracy. Congratulations to Norway, Canada, Australia, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Denmark, New Zealand, Switzerland and Sweden. Sadly, three countries where my column is published—the U.S., Italy and France—are categorized as “flawed democracies.” Yet they’re far
better than the authoritarian regimes in China and Russia. (Source: The Economist.) I offer this public service announcement as a prelude to your homework assignment. According to my astrological analysis, you will personally benefit from working to bring more democracy into your personal sphere. How can you ensure that people you care about feel equal to you, and have confidence that you will listen to and consider their needs, and believe they have a strong say in shaping your shared experiences?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Mystic poet Kabir wrote, “The flower blooms for the fruit: when the fruit comes, the flower withers.” He was invoking a metaphor to describe his spiritual practice and reward. The hard inner work he did to identify himself with God was the blooming flower that eventually made way for the fruit. The fruit was his conscious, deeply felt union with God. I see this scenario as applicable to your life, Pisces. Should you feel sadness about the flower’s withering? It’s fine to do so. But the important thing is that you now have the fruit. Celebrate it! Enjoy it!
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Palestinian American writer Susan Abulhawa writes that in the Arab world, to say a mere “thank you” is regarded as spiritless and ungenerous. The point of communicating gratitude is to light up with lively and expressive emotions that respond in kind to the kindness bestowed. For instance, a recipient may exclaim, “May Allah bless the hands that give me this blessing,” or “Beauty is in the eyes that find me beautiful.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I propose that you experiment with this approach. Be specific in your praise. Be exact in your appreciation. Acknowledge the unique mood and meaning of each rich exchange.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you need this advice from mythologist Joseph Campbell: “Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.” He says it’s “a rescue land ... some field of action where there is a spring of ambrosia—a joy that comes from inside, not something external that puts joy into you—a place that lets you experience your own will and your own intention and your own wish.” Do you have such a place, Taurus? If not, now is a great time to find one. If you do, now is a great time to go there for a spell and renew the hell out of yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
When he was 20 years old, future U.S. President Thomas Jefferson had an awkward encounter with a young woman who piqued his interest. He was embarrassed by the gracelessness he displayed. For two days afterward, he endured a terrible headache. We might speculate that it was a psychosomatic reaction. I bring this up because I’m wondering if your emotions are also trying to send coded messages to you via your body. Are you aware of unusual symptoms or mysterious sensations? See if you can trace them back to their source in your soul.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):
There’s a zone in your psyche where selfishness overlaps generosity, where the line between being emotionally manipulative and gracefully magnanimous almost disappears. With both hope and trepidation for the people in your life, I advise you to hang out in that grey area for now. Yes, it’s a risk. You could end up finessing people mostly for your own good and making them think it’s mostly for their own good. But the more likely outcome is that you will employ ethical abracadabra to bring out the best in others, even as you get what you want, too.

1. Offbeat (151 Wesley Ave., 601376-9404, offbeatjxn.com) I found Offbeat when looking for a record store in Jackson. What I got was an open door to endless amounts of culture. 2. The Prickly Hippie (500 Highway 51, Suite F, 470-337-7167, pricklyhippie.com) The donuts and cacti make an oddly wonderful pairing. My favorite donut is the psychedelic one. It’s a work of art.
3. The Mississippi Library Commission (3881 Eastwood Drive, 601-432-4111, mlc.lib.ms.us) The massive two-story windows in the main reading 34 room make the warm space

If you’ve been out and about around Jackson, chances are you may have seen David Lewis, who recently became manager of the Arts Center of Mississippi. Here are his top 10 favorite local spots.
prime for reading a good book or studying for an exam. 4. Smith Robertson Museum & Cultural Center (528 Bloom St., 601-960-1457) The Smith Robertson Museum is a must for any Jacksonian. The permanent and temporary exhibits are rich in content. The museum also doubles as a fantastic venue space. 5. Picante’s Mexican Grill (960 N. State St., 601-398-1344; 132 Port Gibson St., Raymond, 601-526-9070) My wife and I have most of our date nights at this restaurant. It’s one of the best local Mexican spots around.

6. The Beacon (3030 N. State St., 601-919-7477, thebeaconsupply.com) The lifestyle and art supply store has everything I need and didn’t know I needed. 7. Fine & Dandy (100 District Blvd., 601-202-5050, eatdandy.com) For almost any special occasion, I look to Fine & Dandy. Its shakes, burgers and pimento cheese are all phenomenal. “Yes, waiter, you heard me correctly. I’d like three orders of the pimento cheese.” 8. Belhaven I have lived in Belhaven my whole life—aside from the four years at Mississippi State
University. I still learn new things with every walk around the neighborhood, despite exploring it for over two and a half decades. 9. The Murals (750 N. Jefferson St., 601-927-3730, shopthemurals.com) This clothing store provides a well-curated selection of T-shirts, hats, shoes and even artwork that you won’t find anywhere else in Jackson. 10. Thalia Mara Hall (255 E. Pascagoula St., 601-960-1537 This probably one of the coolest buildings to work at in Jackson. And the upcoming shows this year cannot be missed.
