“Going back for a master's was exhilarating. So many of the things that I had been doing in my studio were corroborated with education. On the flip side, I had a lot of moments where I thought, “I've been doing that wrong. I should change that.” Having had years doing a lot of my own education—I attended conferences and did everything I could to soak up anything available to me—going back to school and having it corroborated and defined was career-changing.”Award-winning coloratura soprano Alisa Toy has an impressive thirty-year performing and teaching career.

Jodi Rush writes: I grew up in the McKenzie Cumberland Presbyterian Church but began life attending a Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Chicago, Illinois from the time I was born until we moved to McKenzie, Tennessee when I was five. I was very active in leadership at the McKenzie Church serving as a Sunday school teacher, VBS director, and as an ordained elder while in high school. I attended Bethel College where I met my husband Kip and graduated from Bethel with Christian Education degree. I worked at the Marshall Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Texas while Kip served at Elmira Chapel. We lived in Rydal, Georgia for a few years and next was Beersheba Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Columbus, Mississippi. While there, I served as the Ecumenical Ministries Director on the campus of Mississippi University for Women. At the Brenthaven Church, I served at Director of Christian Education until beginning my work with the Discipleship Ministry Team as Director of Children and Family Ministry. We have two adult daughters – Madison and Devin and two dogs – Oscar and Felix. I love flower gardening, listening to live music, Broadway plays, and exploring and going new places. I have a cancer diagnosis since April of 2021. Music is provided by Pierce Murphy, Caldera Blue.

In this week's episode of the Int-HER-rupt podcast, our host Linda Yates spent some time in a conversation with Monique Jenkins. Jenkins is an HR leader who has worked for the state of Georgia for a decade. Her infectious energy and leadership skills come through in this podcast as she discusses how she has recovered from various setbacks over her life and career, and what gave her the strength to stay motivated to achieve her goals. Background Jenkins enlisted in the army at 18 and planned to stay for four years, but ended up coming back to Mississippi and attending university. Leaving the army was an early setback that she overcame She holds a Bachelor's in Business Administration from Mississippi University for Women (the first public school for women!) In 2009, Jenkins moved to Georgia and began working for the state supporting HR professionals How Jenkins Recovered After a Major Professional Setback After planning a major event, due to a hurricane, the conference had to be stopped. The entire team that had planned it had to quickly change focus, pivoting to ensuring the safety of all of the guests, and recovering from the loss of a fundraising opportunity Jenkins had a strong team. They were all involved in decision-making, developing plans, and changing those plans. After the event, Jenkins took some time to process and recover and encouraged her staff to do so as needed. She also thought back through all the decisions that were made, and gave credit to her and her team for doing the best they could given the information they had at the time. 3 Tips for Motivating a Team After a Setback Acknowledge their concerns. Then help them see the big picture, and have perspective on the larger goals you are all looking to achieve. It's okay to be vulnerable. Demonstrate to your team that it's okay to take a step back and recover if that's what they need to do. Create a safe environment where it's “okay to not be okay.” Remember that we are all human. Things are not always going to go our way - as Jenkins says in the episode, “the path is not always straight.” If the leader can remember that, they can remind the team of it as well. Jenkins acknowledges that it's not always easy to see the bigger picture right after a setback happens. She encourages people to process and feel the emotions of disappointment and sadness that may come with crises, large and small. But once those emotions have been processed, staying focused on the goal and carrying on is the next, and most important, step.

Any way Mississippi wasn't having it and when James was finally told he could enrol and start in the autumn of 1962, all hell broke out! Leading to local police, patrol highway men, national guard and the US Attorney General and President becoming involved.......

George Washington Carver is well known to Americans as the Peanut Man. It's been written of him that ‘peanuts were like paintbrushes: They were tools to express his imagination'.If that sounds a bit ridiculous, it's because it is.George Washington Carver was far more radical and innovative than ‘the guy who did stuff with peanuts'.At a time when the scientific consensus was pushing farmers to use more and more chemicals and machinery on their lands, Carver urged them to learn how to farm in harmony with nature.He saw the direct link between the social injustice of the Jim Crow South and the ecological damage being wrought on the landscape.He was a pioneer of ecological farming, a warrior for environmental justice before there was such a thing.Our guest today is Mark Hersey, author of “My Work is that of Conservation: An Environmental Biography of George Washington Carver” and a historian at Mississippi University.Produced by Freddy ChickEdited by Aidan LonerganExecutive Producer is Charlotte LongIf you'd like to learn even more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts, and audiobooks at History Hit - enter promo code PATENTED for a free trial, plus 50% off your first three months' subscription.

Listen to learn about Mary (a Civil War-era nurse who never left Callaway Hall), a group of three students who slowly realized their shared house was haunted, and old classroom buildings with a vibe that can only be described as "creepy."But first, Zoey's Something Southern + Spooky is all about a haunted Savannah house.Sources: https://hauntedhospitality.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/ep-71-haunted-college-tour-part-7-mississippi-university-for-women-delta-state-university-and-mississippi-state-university/

In today's episode with catch with with Ph.D alum Dr. Melissa Shubert Smith, a professor of communications and the Gibbons Chair of Journalism at the Mississippi University for Women in Columbus, MS. Dr. Smith wears many hats at her university but still finds time to devote much attention to publishing books, including her latest book, Third Parties, Outsiders, and Renegades: Modern Challenges to the Two-Party System in Presidential Elections (https://www.amazon.com/Third-Parties-Outsiders-Renegades-Communication/dp/1793620725). Much of her work has focused on outsider candidates and the influence they can have on shaping the agendas and narratives for those who follow. In addition to the tremendous research she has done, she teaches anywhere from four to six classes a semester (that is a lot for those of us in academia) plus finds time to train for and run half marathons. She ran her first half marathon in 2013 and used it as an opportunity to raise money for schools damaged by the EF4 tornado that devastated the Tuscaloosa area in 2011. We had so much fun in this conversation and you don't want to miss it.

Hey, y'all, and welcome Southern Macabre! I'm Aeryn and I'm so glad you're here for our weekly Missing Person Monday episode. Even if it is Friday. I apologize for my mistake yesterday – I deleted Most Haunted in Tennessee and re-uploaded it as Haunted Castle in Tennessee so you can listen to this week's paranormal episode. I won't get in a hurry next time because this took me all day to fix. As usual, I will list the corresponding law enforcement phone number after each story and I will get pictures uploaded to our Facebook page, Southern Macabre, today. So, without further ado, I present Missing in Mississippi. — In 1960, Columbus, Mississippi was a small town where everyone knew everyone and it was considered a good place to live and raise a family. The lock and dam, Leigh Mall, Walmart, etc. hadn't been built yet so there wasn't much apart from Main Street where Mississippi University for Women is located. That's when it earned its nickname “The Friendly City”. Sadly, that's not the case today with crime on the rise. We're not talking about today, though. Today we're going to go way back and talk about Lyrian Wyvonne Barry, a 23-year-old mother of an 8-month-old girl who came from a close-knit family that included her parents, three sisters, and four brothers. She was an African American woman who stood 5' tall and weighed about 150 pounds. After she graduated in 1956, she met Eulice “Eddie” Stallings from New Orleans. She moved there with him, but a short time later she returned to Columbus, Mississippi with their newborn daughter, Gloria. Eddie moved back to Columbus so her family assumed that he still had feelings for her. They moved in together, but it wasn't a good situation. It wasn't long until she had her family help her move out. Her sister, Betsy Hurt, said he was using and selling drugs, which made Lyrian angry. Lyrian began seeing him in secret, but he was seeing multiple women until he married a woman because she was pregnant with his child. It was at this time Lyrian connected with her distant cousin, Sonny Lucas, who lived in Columbus and St. Louis, Missouri. Shortly after Eddie got married, she gave Gloria to Betsy and boarded a Greyhound bus for St. Louis to live with an aunt. Betsy was pregnant and the plan was for her to give birth in Columbus and then Lyrian was going to help her move to St. Louis. She figured that she would have a job and her own place by then. Sadly, that didn't happen because she vanished not long after she arrived at her aunt's home. Her aunt saw that someone was looking for a live-in maid either in Needham, Massachusetts or Bridgeport, Connecticut, she couldn't remember which. The night she was going to leave for her interview, Lucas's wife beat her up. She has never been seen or heard from again. Unfortunately, her parents, a few siblings, and her daughter passed not knowing what happened to Lyrian. They always hoped that she was still alive, but her social security number has never been used and there isn't a death certificate anywhere. If you know anything, call Columbus Police Department at 662-244-3554 — This case is crazy! So, on New Year's Eve in 1986, James Michael Welter gets in a car accident while drinking and driving. He was a 34-year-old Staff sergeant with the U.S. Air Force and was on leave until January 6th and had to be in court in Ocean Springs on the 15th. He didn't show up for either so he was deemed AWOL (Absent WithOut Leave) by the military and a warrant was issued for his arrest. In March of that year, they found his 1986 Ford Granada being driven by the arresting officer! He claimed that he had bought it from two unknown individuals at a salvage auction. It was scrapped later. Also, at the time of his disappearance, he was purchasing a timeshare through Dixie Resort Corporation, Indian Point Resort, in Gautier, M --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

After treatment of radiation therapy, Dr. Tongie was finally ready to thrust herself into life.

She believes that the individual who can answer those questions will cause a shift in their lives, and they will be the change they want to see in themselves.

The South African beauty queen, award-winning baker and grill master, Linkie Marais, is more than your average chef! With a love for exploring, cooking and the outdoors, Chef Linkie Marais' ‘will to grill’ stems all the way back to her unique blend of South African and Southern roots. Born in Evander, a town in northeastern South Africa, Linkie was raised in the kitchen, helping her mother prepare meals on a daily basis. With a lack of abundant fresh ingredients, she inher- ited her mother’s creativity, utilizing whatever they had available to create fresh and original meals. Described by Linkie as a “melting pot,” South African cuisine incorporates influences from across the globe. “We love our meats – especially lamb – but South African cuisine is really a mix of northern African and European influences,” says Linkie. “We grew up eating everything from rustic cur- ries to fine breads and cakes.” Immigrating to the U.S. in 1999, Linkie and her family settled in Tupelo, Mississippi where she began her culinary career piping cakes for a local catering company. Upon obtaining a degree in Culinary Arts and a minor in Food Arts from Mississippi University for Women, Linkie's career took off as she held various pastry and executive chef positions in Oxford, Mississippi before making the move to Massachusetts’ acclaimed Montilio’s Bakery. Years later, Linkie decided to venture out on her own and accepted the opportunity of a life- time to compete on Food Network’s hit series, “Next Food Network Star” in 2012. “My experience on the show can only be described as ‘crazy.’ It’s like driving a fast car—fun but unpredictable. It forced me to push my limits and take my creativity to a new level.” After discovering her love for grilling during a Big Green Egg® competition, Linkie’s passion for grilling began to take her career in a new and exciting direction. It’s clear that her meat-filled and resourceful South African culinary upbringing has had a tremendous impact on her cooking flair, as Linkie is considered the best among the few females who have mastered the art of grill- ing. “I love how action-packed grilling can be. My absolute favorite thing to grill is lamb! The aroma that is released when the lamb hits the fire is incomparable. But what people don't realize is that much more —from sides to desserts—can be prepared on a grill, too.” It is only natural that this outdoorsy, fun and energetic chef spends her weekend's hunting, camping and debating with her South African husband, Jannie, over who gets to do the grilling. “But ultimately, I’m always in the kitchen. That is where I spend not only my work time, but my free time. Cooking is my therapy.”

Erin M. Kempker is an associate professor of history at Mississippi University for Women and the author of Big Sister: Feminism, Conservatism and Conspiracy in the Heartland (University of Illinois, 2018). The author examines how 1970s right-wing women activists in the state of Indiana combined earlier political conspiracy theories, Cold War anti-communism and anti-ERA sentiment to cast feminism as threat to American democracy, free enterprise, and the family. Conservative women's groups in the mid-West, such as Minute Women and Pro America, rallied against the Equal Right Amendment at a critical moment for feminism. The strategy of the ERA Coordinating Committee, (HERA) a coalition of twelve liberal organizations, was of low-key bi-partisan lobbying of legislators that marginalizing radical feminists. The soft-sale approach of Hoosier feminists threatened to kill the ERA as it faced militant right-wing opposition. Kempker examines the motivations and organizational strategies of right-wing women and the problems feminist encountered in promoting ERA as a matter of simple justice and failing to directly counter the conservative critiques. Big Sister is a study of both conservative strategies that led to the rightward move of the Republican Party in the 1980s and the failings of feminists in delaying the ultimate passage of ERA in Indiana offering lessons for activist today. Lilian Calles Barger, www.lilianbarger.com, is a cultural, intellectual and gender historian.

Chris Fryar is a member of one of the most popular music groups in the world, the Zac Brown Band. We were fortunate to have him join us for an exclusive interview from his Birmingham area home. In this episode Chris tells us about his start in drumming and how it lead to him attending the University of North Texas. After a quick tenure there he found himself at the Mississippi University for Women where he basically created his own course path in the music department. After a successful time at MUW Chris was 'fired' from school by one of his professors who urged him to move forward with his professional career. At that time Chris relocated to Birmingham and we go over his thought process for why that plan worked for him. We then discuss how he established himself as one of the area's busiest drummers and how it lead to his role with Oteil Burbridge and the Peacemakers. Through the grapevine of working musicians he was recommended to Zac Brown when the band needed a new drummer. From there we discuss life on the road and do a full run down of his gear.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in performing arts at Mississippi University for Women. She continued her studies abroad, earning a master’s degree in applied drama from Goldsmiths University of London. Sarah is passionate about grand adventures and capturing the micro-adventures in the everyday. She blogs at www.lovelettertoadventure.com. She recently launched a kickstarter campaign called Project STIR. Project STIR is a culmination of Sarah’s passions for food, family and adventure. It was so much fun chat with Sarah about what success means to her, how she got to her current definition and her latest project, Project STIR! We start out as we do every week by asking Sarah what her definition of success is. "I'm starting to really see the growth process itself as success, not just achieving a certain goal." Sarah also talks about the struggle she had after getting her masters and finding the work she had hoped. She shares with us how she went through a period of feeling like she had to prove herself. A feeling we know many of us have had. Sarah mentions lots of amazing people and courses that have inspired and shaped her journey.

Project STIR FB group The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron Laura Hames Franklin (Superhuman Breakfast) We end our chat talking to Sarah about her latest project, something we are so thrilled to see launch! Project STIR is a series of documentary films capturing the universal language of love in the family kitchen. The films will take place in kitchens around the world and will tell the stories of Abuelitas, Nans & Mamaws passing on their heirloom recipes to the next generation. But, this isn’t just about funding a film. Our mission is to rekindle the family recipe. It is our hope that this project will inspire families to take the time to slow down and learn their own family’s heirloom recipes the world over. Families have volunteered to share their heirloom recipes in: France. New Zealand. Turkey. England. Panama. Wales. Spain. Norway. Slovenia. Grenada. Canada. Jamaica. Croatia. Sarah Shotts, the director and creator of Project STIR, got the idea after documenting a local family’s chicken dumplin’ recipe. That first film really resonated with people and started a growing conversation about family recipes in her blog community.
