SUMMARY: Several people who were inside a building on a clear blue sky day in Moss Point, Mississippi, spoke about the terrifying experience of a tornado ripping through the bank building 45 days ago. Teresa Ducksworth and her coworkers from Lead Administrators worked and rented office space in the building. Ducksworth recalls the horrors of hiding on a set of stairs with her friend Shannon Millet. They were able to ride out the tornado and are amazed that they were given the opportunity to cover and protect themselves.

Inspired by a cake she made for her nephew’s birthday, Mayfield launched Sugar Tribe through social media. Self-taught via YouTube and trial and error, she expanded from home baking to two storefronts. Sugar Tribe now offers custom cakes, themed desserts, brownies, cinnamon rolls, king cakes, and event services including linens and decor.
