“There are so many things that we have no control over, yet reap the consequences of. Just like the people born without a nurturing family, or without access to necessities in the necessary capacity. Just like the people who don’t see things from the same scope as you.“

Geoff Duncan embodies a new kind of Southern leadership—rooted in authenticity, courage, and a refusal to settle for political theater. Amid a polarized landscape, he challenges old gatekeepers and invites a return to honest debate and unity. This moment echoes the South’s history of realignment, reminding us that real change requires humility, community, and the courage to lead in the arena—not from the sidelines.

Our goal is to turn The White Rose into a toolkit, a curriculum, and a resource for exploring leadership, culture, and connection.
