It’s the first of June, and we are ready to, “Feed the Movement!”

This week, we are Wearing Pink, Spending Green, and Buying Black by intentional spending with Black-owned restaurants, cafes, bakeries, food trucks, and beverage brands.

Our collective goal is $8 million this month, and it starts with just $19.08. That’s one delicious meal, one specialty coffee, or one sweet treat. Let’s help “Build Our Economic Wealth,” one bite (or sip!) at a time.

Tag your favorite food or drink business below, and let’s celebrate together!🩷💚🖤

It’s always the right time to empower our community through voter education, information, and registration!

As part of our Advocate for Social Justice Initiative, the Voter Education and Registration Event at Horn Lake High School was truly powerful and impactful. Students gained meaningful, hands‑on insight into the voting process and the importance of making their voices heard.

Through a strong collaborative effort, Career Coaches partnered with a DeSoto County Election Commissioner to help students deepen their understanding of civic engagement and the election process. Moments like these shape informed, confident future voters — and that’s worth celebrating.

As part of our Advocate for Social Justice Initiative, the event empowered students with the knowledge and access needed to actively participate in the democratic process, ensuring that young people not only recognize the power of their voice but are equipped to use it.

Students participated in a realistic voting experience using actual voting machines, making the learning both interactive and meaningful. As a direct result of this initiative, 61 first‑time voters were successfully registered, marking an incredible milestone in empowering young voices within our community.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Commissioner Sissy Ferguson for her unwavering support and dedication to student learning. This successful event was thoughtfully coordinated by Career Coaches Robin Henessee and our chapter Advocate for Social Justice Co-Chairman, Pat Brady, whose commitment continues to make a lasting difference.

Under the Enhance Our Environment Initiative, the Omicron Alpha Omega Chapter proudly recognized 2026 Earth Day, National Arbor Day, and Mississippi Native American Plant Day by planting three new trees in our adopted Rosenwald Sims Park. 🌳💗💚

These additions beautifully complement the four trees planted in 2025, continuing our commitment to environmental stewardship and community enhancement.

This year’s planting was a true collaboration, supported by the Mississippi State Extension Service (Lemon Phelps), Strawberry Plains (Tim Bisenius), Melvin King, and Joyce Holland (Master Gardener). Their expertise and partnership helped make this effort meaningful and sustainable.

Despite the forecast, the rain held off, giving us a beautiful nature‑filled day to celebrate growth, restoration, and service.

The event was led with excellence by Initiative Chairman Beryl Freeman, the dedicated members of the Enhance Our Environment Committee, and Chapter President Attorney Shirley Byers.

Omicron Alpha Omega continues to plant seeds—literally and figuratively—that will bless our community for generations. 🌿💗💚
