In this episode of Mississippi Stories, Mississippi Today Editor-At-Large Marshall Ramsey sits down with AARP Mississippi State Director Kimberly L. Campbell. She is responsible for leading and directing AARP’s work in advocacy, community engagement, and communications to serve the 285,000 AARP members in Mississippi.

Previously, she served in the House of Representatives (House District 72) from 2008 to 2016 and clerked for two justices on the Mississippi Supreme Court.

A mom of four girls, Campbell talks about work-life balance, her career, Mississippi and family. It’s an inspiring conversation.
