SUMMARY:

Ernie: Working on five seasons of the show with the cast and crew, especially Valerie, has been amazing. The show is based on Carl Weber’s books but differs slightly, exploring family dynamics, particularly within Black families, in a unique way that’s both powerful and representative of American life.

Valerie: Over five seasons, we’ve grown as characters and as a community. I felt particularly free this year, and I’m excited to see where my character, Chippy, goes next. Being part of this cast and crew has been a blessing.

Why Watch the Show: It’s a great show with a fantastic cast and compelling stories. It delves into family, drama, and the American dream’s costs, showcasing Black family dynamics authentically and powerfully.

The BET+ series “The Family Business” is based on Carl Weber’s crime drama book series and focuses on the Duncan family, who owns an exotic car dealership in New York. With the Season 5 launch, viewers will experience the return to a civil war between LC Duncan and the clan and their biggest enemy to date… one of his own sons. The show has aired four seasons and 34 episodes, via BET and BET+. Season 5 premieres on Thursday, July 4th on BET+. #betplus #bet #erniehudson #valariepettiford

SUMMARY: Walker Mim, a Mississippi high school baseball player, faced a life-altering Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis.

Make A Wish Mississippi granted him a wish to attend the World Series, marking a symbol of hope as he completed his treatment. Supported by his family and community, who wore “Walker Strong” bracelets, he found strength in his faith, particularly through Philippians 4:13. Thankfully, Walker is now feeling well and embracing life again.

SUMMARY: Local shoppers in Tupelo are hopeful for a Target store after years of anticipation. Target filed plans in September for a store in the Barnes Crossing area near North Gloster Street and Interstate 22. The Tupelo City Council recently approved an agreement to incentivize the retailer, including infrastructure improvements to alleviate traffic. While some community members express excitement about the shopping options, Target has not confirmed its plans for Tupelo, as its future store openings do not currently include the city. Despite recent mixed earnings reports, company officials remain optimistic about their long-term prospects.

The City of Tupelo is now playing the waiting game for a possible Target store.

SUMMARY: A local nonprofit, Petal Healing Garden, is collaborating with the Forest County Agricultural Extension Office on the Grow a Row program to combat food insecurity. Volunteers can participate after completing a food safety course led by Jesse Tisdale. The program not only helps with food donations but also offers a chance for the community to reconnect with gardening, filling a gap left by the loss of agricultural education in local schools. Proceeds from the initiative will benefit the Edwards Street food pantry and the Petal Children’s Task Force in Hattiesburg.

One local agricultural extension office is teaming up with a local vegetable garden owner to train others on growing produce to combat hunger in the Pine Belt.
