Higher Purpose Co.

I enjoyed listening to this conversation between Whitney Kimball Coe, Vice President of National Programs at Rural Assembly and host of Everywhere Radio, and Tim Lampkin, co-founder and CEO of Higher Purpose Co.

Higher Purpose Co is a 501(c)(3) economic justice nonprofit that works with Black residents to build wealth across Mississippi, specifically by supporting Black ownership and financial, cultural, and political power.

Whitney and Tim discuss his return to Mississippi more than a decade ago, closing the racial wealth gap, and the power of ownership. Lampkin has over a decade of community development and entrepreneurship experience. He previously managed the racial equity program for the Mississippi Humanities Council, which won the National 2018 Schwartz prize. He also worked for Southern Bancorp Community Partners to implement multimillion dollar community initiatives and has advised rural entrepreneurs in several counties.
