The mission of the Southwest Mississippi – Early Innovative Intervention Studies Multiplex is to grow the creative capacity of Southwest Mississippi residents, children, families, and citizen-artists by encouraging innovation and cultural appreciation in early phases of life. They envision: a safe community where marginalized people embrace their social responsibilities and are compelled to use their voices and talents to empower themselves and others; an aware community where people understand root causes and can speak truthfully about the past to improve multigenerational relationships and combat systemic racism.
The SMMEII hosts the Literary Festival each year and Diane and Richelle are proud and honored to be this year’s Luminaries. Here is a slideshow of more information. Thank you SMMEII for your dedication and commitment to making Mississippi a better place for everyone.
