Lauren Rhoades moved to Mississippi and figured she’d be here three years. Ten years later, she not only loves the state, she is raising a family here and helping other transplants tell their stories. In this episode of Mississippi Stories, Marshall Ramsey (also a transplant) visits with Lauren and talks about what is so special about their adopted home. She also talks about her excellent Substack magazine, Rooted.
