Tanna Sherrill grew up in Michigan, in a working class family with Polish roots. Her dad worked in the auto plants, but by the time Tanna was in middle school, he was struggling to hold onto jobs as companies downsized and plants were closed. After his last job fell through, Tanna's father knew he'd have to leave Michigan to find factory work. When he moved to Mississippi, Tanna followed him, leaving her mother, friends, and college behind to start over at Ole Miss and live with her dad. Tanna talks with Dick Gordon about a northern girl discovering the south, and how the move has actually been a very good thing. Also: a reality show reject.
