Healthy Teens for a Better Mississippi Newsletter · November 1, 2015 · Page 2 Serving Teens of Mississippi Proudly What is STOMP? The title of this newsletter is very special to the teens involved in the Healthy Teens for a Better Mississippi program. Not only is it the title of the Healthy Teens for a Better Mississippi news- letter, it’s the title of an award-winning project headed up by teen Co-Chairs Kodi Wright and Alisha Sifuentes. The Health Occupational Safety Association, (HOSA) Health Education project began with the much clunkier title “Getting in Touch with the Reality of Teenage Pregnancy.” The project was a huge success for Kodi and fellow Co-Chair Alisha and their group in their junior year, winning them second place awards in their district and state, and then third place in nationals. Editor As the girls’ senior year rolled around, they wanted to change Dr. Nycole Campbell Lewis things up. They developed the STOMP concept, which stands for Serving Teens of Mississippi Proudly. With the help of her mom, Kodi designed the baby blue shoe, garnering support Co-Editors from fellow co-chair Alisha and Governor Bryant’s Office.

Murray said she was inspired by friends who became teenage mothers when they were younger and had to put their dreams, and ultimately their childhood on hold. In Murray's opinion, growing up too fast can cause teenage pregnancy, eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse and dropping out of school. Through her motivational camps and speaking engagements, Murray has reached out to hundreds of young women on the subjects of peer pressure, bullying and making good choices. In addition to churches and civic organizations, Murray has promoted her platform at Boys and Girls Club camps, and said she'd like to see that message be one that's passed along all over the state and ultimately, the nation. "They've been very, very welcoming to me and my platform, and I'd like to see them adopt '13 Going On 30' as a national platform, and I hope to do that at the end of my reign," she said. A broadcast communications major, Murray said she knows she wants to continue to chase that dream long after Miss Mississippi and Miss America are past. For 2014 though, she reveled in being able to wear the crown that represents the state she's so proud to call home. Murray is best known for her run in season eight of American Idol. She was a Top 13 finalist at age 16, as a junior at Mississippi School of the Arts in Brookhaven. During that time, the whole state, and a large part of the south, rallied behind her and contributed to her success.

Familiarity with the dismal indicators, however, cannot breed acquiescence. This does not have to be the legacy of our state. We do not need governmental leadership nor Mississippi’s citizens to accept being last. Instead, we need courageous leadership with an intentional commitment to equity, a willingness to change the narrative and genuine community engagement. Mississippi is Failing to Thrive. It is time we stop being last. www.aclu-ms.org 3 Mississippi has some of the highest equity disparities in the country. Poverty Mississippi continues to be the poorest state in the nation. • “While working hard, many of Mississippi’s families fall short of economic security. According to an analysis of data from the U.S. Census, approximately 42% of Mississippi’s working families are low-income and 22% of residents live in poverty.” (http://mepconline.org/category/policy-areas/income-working-families) • Alongside poverty, disparity continues to loom. For children the poverty rate is 35%, for senior citizens the poverty rate is 18% and for women the poverty rate is 25.9%. There are 253,000 Black children below 200% poverty.
