Mississippi Today Editor-at-Large Marshall Ramsey sits down with Gregory Johnson, CEO and President of the Foundation for the Mid South, a foundation that serves Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.

With 30% of America’s poverty in this tri-state region, the Foundation for the Mid South focuses on improving education, health and wellness, wealth building, and community development.

Like the Foundation itself, Johnson has a long history of service and philanthropy. He tells about his journey, the Foundation’s goals, and the importance of building trust through communication.
