. and created in partnership with the Magnolia Mother’s Trust—which aims to put front and center the voices of Black women who are affected most by the often-abstract policies currently debated at the national level.

My name is Lakeisha White. I’m 36 years old and I live in Jackson, Mississippi. I’m a single parent and a mother of five. My kids are 7, 11, 14, 14 and 17. Once I have my degree, I’m planning to take out a business loan to open up a daycare center for the community. Good childcare begins with safety and cleanliness. The next step is offering children enrichment opportunities that will help them be successful in life—teaching them what to do in challenging situations, and teaching them about finances and wellness, all so they can grow and become better and do good things in life. I want to help kids have a brighter future.
Receiving this money has made a change in me spiritually. Life feels brighter and the future feels brighter. It’s lighting me up and I can see where I’m going. I know where I’ve been and I’m looking forward.
