[group laughing] ALISA:
Mississippi is full of people like Jarita who stayed deeply connected
to their soul food roots and others who left but came back
and planted new roots and seeds. Literally. Like big baller Cindy Ayers. Up until 9/11, she spent 20 years
as an investment banker. Wait, hold up! A Black woman? Wall Street? Damn. Cindy came back to create a 68-acre oasis
in Jackson's food desert, helping her community feed themselves. Now I'm trying to figure out why somebody
would give up a chauffeur for a shovel. Miss Cindy? This is amazing. Look at this.
DR. CINDY AYERS ELLIOT: Ah! Oh. Hi
