I, Roshunda Harris-Allen, Ed.D, am excited to announce that I am a candidate for Re-Election as Alderman-At-Large in Byram, Mississippi. Byram, Mississippi has been my home for 20 years and I reside here with my husband and three of our four children. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (emphasis, math and science), a Master of Science in Early Childhood Education, and Specialist Certification in Infant and Toddler Development. In May 2015, I earned my Doctorate of Education in Early Childhood Education (cognate, Education Leadership) at Jackson State University. 

I am an advocate for children and students of all ages, and the Byram community. Finding opportunities to serve and enhance my community is a priority. I am an active member of the Byram Chamber of Commerce; an ex-officio president of Junior Auxiliary Byram Terry; the former Cheer Coordinator for the Byram Jr. Bulldogs; a mentor for the Byram-Terry Crown Club; a leader in hosting restorative justice peace-circles at various schools and community organizations; and support my family as a “soccer and dance" mom.

My goal is for us to work together to expand the quality of our community through education, preparation, advocacy, collaboration, and enhancement to inspire individuals, families, and businesses to build a better Byram. With your support, we can work together to address the concerns, the quality of community growth and expanding of great resources in regard to parks and recreation, economic growth and development of the Hinds County Parkway, improvement of water and sewer, increased salaries for city employees, reducing congestion at the Siwell-Terry Rd intersection, developing a city youth council, and strengthening communication pathways to keep citizens informed.
