Mississippi Stories goes in person this week with our first in-studio guest, Vicksburg native and world-known designer Raymond Banks. Founder of Hoodvenchy, Raymond talks about how a single bow tie led to his fashions being seen on the world’s runways. He also talks about growing up and how his parents and Alcorn State University led to his career.
