Dr. Mimms poured into each and everyone of us and helped us to be our best person. One of her last request was that we continue to do the work. In February 2025, her dear friend Ophelia Taylor Walker came to Phoenix, thinking she was coming for fun and sun. While we ate lunch, she delivered to me my last assignment from Dr. Mimms. She challenged me to collect the oral history around Dr. Mimms' life. She reminded me that her story needs to be recorded and shared. She suggested I do a podcast and we name it "Good Works".
I marinated on her request and spoke with my podcast partner, Vania C. Bynum and we decided that we would start our assignment by announcing it at the Celebration of Life and begin collecting:
-
Names and contacts for interviews
-
Contact information of people who want to be kept in the loop along the way.
Vania and I are still gathering names to schedule interviews and we plan to schedule our first interviews with community members who are 80 and over. We will continue to develop our assignment and look forward to your participation.
​
Please remember to share names of people we MUST connect with along this journey.
​
Blessings to all!

Twanda & Vania
