MassMutual TV Spot, 'Better Together: Frayser'

Frayser is a neighborhood in Memphis, Tennessee, that used to be robust until the two major industries went out of business. Linda Williams from the Rise Foundation is working with MassMutual's Live Mutual Project to help people impacted by high foreclosure rates. In communities like Frayser, people live in a financial desert and aren't starting on the same foot as everyone else. Akliah Wofford grew up in Frayser and remembers when her father pulled her aside and told her they were losing their home. It changed her perspective on life. She became an entrepreneur to ensure that she would be able to build on things that couldn't be taken away from her. The Live Mutual Project helps train people to learn financial literacy and to get the skills they need to build a thriving community.
