Article Excerpt
Every year, the newest members of the Mississippi Business Journal Top 40 Under 40 continue to amaze us, with their drive for excellence, passion for people and dedication to details. They hail from varied backgrounds and educational levels, and lead strikingly different lives. But this year's class has one common characteristic: they've got heart.
Whether at home, the office, at church or in the community, their love for neighbors shows. It helps them better overcome adversities and celebrate triumphs, and shine as the best and brightest young leaders of the Magnolia State.
For example, Kerr-McGee Chemical corporate affairs manager Learned Dickerson, who grew up in a New Orleans housing project and was raised in part by his blind grandfather, will soon earn his doctoral degree. Consultant Pamela Confer of Jackson overcame a lack of confidence to win beauty pageants, become a favorite local singer, and earn a Ph.D. in public policy and administration. Aundrea Self, who didn't believe she was "pretty enough" to be on TV. is now a highly regarded news anchor and reporter for WCBI-TV in Columbus.
