Walls, MS, the precious little town, with Mayor Keidron Henderson. “Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.” ~ Arthur Ashe

In this week’s episode I had the incredible pleasure to sit down with the Mayor of Walls, Mississippi.  Mayor Keidron Henderson and I have actually known each other for over 30 years, but as life tends to go, we hadn’t seen each other for a few decades.  I can honestly say, our conversation does not disappoint.

 

Mayor Henderson explained how his aspirations of becoming a sports phenom and being able to provide for his family was suddenly derailed when he tore ligaments in both knees and in the same time frame learned he was going to become a teenage father.  With his future seemingly falling apart and not knowing how to move forward, he found himself slipping into a deep depression and having suicidal thoughts.  Thankfully he chose to not give up when he was reminded of how he had longed for a father in his life and how he would be doing the same thing to his child by leaving this earth, he chose to fight for his future.

 

Mayor Henderson shares how he developed a strong work ethic and within one year, his entire life had started to turn around.  Crediting his 5th grade teacher, his mother and grandmother for instilling in him the confidence to be great, Mayor Henderson is blazing a trail and leaving behind an incredible legacy, including becoming the first African American Mayor in Desoto County, Mississippi.  His inspiring story of overcoming great odds and developing into a great city leader is guaranteed to touch your heart.
