    We can’t keep doing things in Memphis as they’ve been done. I believe in the people of our city and I believe that each of us deserves more from our leadership. On Oct. 3, let's say for the equality & opportunity that we deserve. Let’s do this, together.

    Everyone must watch . I’m rooting for the Trotter Twins who I want to have all good things in life. If you still don’t see how poverty is engineered and crime is a symptom of that engineering after this, I don’t know what else to tell you.

    I am so impressed by students at Crosstown High in Memphis who staged a walkout over their treatment and experience. Most movements have been started by young people. Yall better watch our babies are demanding change. I am soooo excited by this.

    So I see a media outlet in Memphis endorsed a candidate who would not participate in their debate. That's what we are up against here in Memphis.

    I have to say: I’m scratching my head as to why we would believe his rhetoric, not his results, and why we would vote for anyone who won’t engage with us directly.

    I’m sure he wants you to believe report from DM claiming our economy is “best it’s been”. This “study” based results on survey where 65% of respondents were white in a city where 70% of the pop are POC. Why do we let him tell us Memphis has momentum?
