Monroe Dispatch - No Struggle, No Progress

Dexter Alston knows the value of rising to shine. He learned the value of work from his upbringing. His people taught him there is never "something for nothing," while working hustles picking pecans, selling drink bottles and newspapers. Dexter sold Monroe News Leader, Monroe News Weekly and Monroe Dispatch Newspapers back in the days. He is proud of all his hustles which taught him how to "Rise to Shine!"
