Ms. Glenda celebrates 23 years at WXXV

You may recognize some of us at WXXV News 25 from our presence on the screen, but after two decades of service we want to highlight the smiling face, you see at the front desk when you walk into our building.

Glenda Jackson, a lifelong Mississippi resident, has never appeared on air, but after 23 years at WXXV serving in many different roles, we felt like that had to change.

Though Glenda has described the job as a blessing from God, you may be surprised to hear she never actually applied for it. “I went to one of the Win Programs where they help you with jobs and applications. One day I got a call from Mr. Al, the young man that helped me with my paperwork, and he told me about a position opening at FOX 25 TV Station. If it had not been for the Lord and Mr. l, I wouldn’t be here.”

We asked Ms. Glenda what’s the best part of her job is and she said it’s the people that work here.
