"I was born and raised in Orange Mound. Every Saturday when I was growing up, my friends and I would take our quarters and go around the corner to the movie theater to see films like the Lone Ranger or Elvis Presley movies. We'd stay all day until our mothers came to drag us home. It was a safe community, everyone knew everybody, and we had everything we needed. Time passed and we grew up, went away to college, and did our lives. We just took it for granted that that way of life would always exist, but when we went back years later, everything had changed.
"My dream is to bring the community back to what it once was, and that dream has been the beginning of the Orange Mound Revitalization Council. Rebuilding our community is important to me and to the people who live there."
