Your best bet will be to make contact with the Freemasons that are local to you.
There are two flavours available to you, so have a look at both: Grand Lodge of Tennessee: https://www.grandlodge-tn.org/main/GLTN-home.asp OR Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Tennessee: https://mwphgltn.org/
Good luck.

In countries with no history of Masonic suppression, there are no invitations.
In Tennessee, look up the nearest lodge. On their door is when they meet monthly. What is listed in the business meeting closed to members only. Before that is a dinner and social hour.
Show up for the dinner and social hour. Explain that you want to be a Mason. Start going every month from then on. it will take about 2-3 months before the members know you well enough to trust that you are sincere.
You may want to attend the social hours at more than one lodge before you decide which one to join. The culture of each lodge is slightly different.
I am currently a member of Faith Lodge in Oak Ridge near Knoxville on the opposite side of the state.
