14 Reasons Why Mississippians Aren’t Leaving
This episode is a direct response to a widely shared article claiming that Mississippians are packing up and leaving in droves. You may have seen it. I read it, and I came away with a very different perspective.
In this episode, I walk through 14 reasons why Mississippians aren’t leaving—and why the narrative that Mississippi is a state in decline misses important context. From cost of living and community to opportunity, culture, and plain common sense, I offer a viewpoint that doesn’t get much airtime.
This conversation is candid, personal, and unapologetically Mississippi. If you love this state—or if you’re tired of seeing it reduced to headlines and stereotypes—this episode is for you.
This also marks the beginning of Papa D’s Corner as both a podcast and a YouTube series, where I’ll be discussing real-world issues, current events, and occasionally pushing back when the story being told doesn’t match everyday reality.
