A TEACHERble Moment

A TEACHERble Moment on Grandma’s Food

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

Grandma wakes up early 
And makes her way to the kitchen,
It’s that time of the year where she prepares those famous dishes. 

When Thanksgiving visits Mississippi
Grandma greets her with collard greens, 
With ham and turkey,
With cornbread dressing,
And macaroni and cheese.

The Thanksgiving plate sends me 15 years back,
It’s safe to say Grandma just has it like that! 

I feel like a child again,
All nestled in bed 
Hearing the music of pots and pans.

Feeling the excitement 
Of gathered family and friends,
Feeling the moment of being a kid.

My name is Erykah Gray, but most people know me as Miss Gray. I hail from the charming town of Centreville in Southern Mississippi. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in English from The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg and a Master of Arts in Literature from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Today, I’m a proud doctoral student at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, because I believe that learning is a lifelong journey—and I’m passionate about being on that path. Teaching isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am. I love speaking, writing, and inspiring others to find their voice. Every day in my classroom, I strive to make learning exciting and meaningful while helping my students grow into confident, inspired thinkers ready to take on the world. Here, I plan to do the same.
