Rooted Magazine's Editor-in Chief Lauren Rhoades talks about starting a Substack that aims to correct misconceptions about Mississippi and the people who call this state home.
Lauren, this was such a great interview. Your Rooted work is fantastic and I loved hearing about you and your work with food and at the Welty house. We have gardening and MUW in common. I look forward to a possible podcast and would love to read a book by you if you ever find the time. Maybe our paths will cross someday. I would love to meet you in person.
Perhaps if you attend the Welty symposium I might run into you!
Yes! I love the symposium. Hoping I can go this year!
That would be wonderful! Hope to see you there!

Jane, that means so much—thank you! I would love to meet you in person someday too! Do you live in Mississippi?
Yes, I live in West Point. I’m in the MFA program at MUW.
Wonderful interview!
