This is "The Living South," where journalist Billy Ball (that's me, y'all!) interviews game-changing Southerners. Each week, I'll talk to someone making a difference in their community. Southern artists, civic leaders, grassroots activists, chefs, writers, innovators, volunteers—it's all fair game.
