Her impressive career includes leadership roles such as Director of Civic Engagement & Voting Rights at the Mississippi Black Women’s Roundtable and Managing Director at Mississippi Votes.

A proud member of the National Council of Negro Women, Attala County Section, Velvet is deeply committed to empowering women and advancing social justice. As a wife and mother, her passion for equity is rooted in her vision of creating a more inclusive and just world for future generations.
