Today, the AWESOME is in Madison, Mississippi, where everyone knows Omari and the impact he makes to make Madison a better place. This young man who wears many hats in the community, is always working to uplift those around him. Whether he’s helping at a summer arts camp, choreographing school plays, assisting with show choir auditions, serving up meals at Beagle Bagel, or attending college, Omari is constantly on the move, making Madison a brighter place. But when an accident left his car undrivable, his friends and neighbors knew it was time to give back. Without his knowledge, the community sprang into action, sharing his story in local Facebook groups and organizing a heartfelt effort to find him a new set of wheels. Through the generosity of many, a reliable used car was purchased—all as a surprise. When the moment finally arrived, and Omari was presented with the keys, emotions ran high. The ripple effect of kindness: THAT’S AWESOME.
