Senators honor Blue Springs resident and long-time CREATE staffer

Many of Mississippi’s 52 senators rose to their feet and stood to pose for a photo with Blue Springs resident and Mississippi legend Juanita Floyd, who was honored by the senate and Senator Chad McMahan on Thursday, February 20, 2020, with a Senate Proclamation honoring her work, dedication and legacy of helping those in need.

For 35 years Floyd has been with the CREATE Foundation, where she is Vice President of Finance and Administration, overseeing all financial aspects of the largest community foundation in Mississippi with assets of $137 million. During Black History Month, when legends are honored, McMahan saw fit to boast of a humble, living legend, whose legacy stretches across the state and region as a writer, author, motivational speaker and as a benevolent force who crosses racial and economic lines to achieve positive results for those whom she can help.
