I chose Jackson State without a campus tour, without knowing a soul within a 500-mile radius. I stepped out on faith because God made it clear this is where I belonged.
In 2020, I arrived fresh out of quarantine, no Welcome Week, just uncertainty and a heart full of questions. I was a first-gen college student navigating it all in the middle of a pandemic, battling anxiety and carrying weight I didn’t even realize yet. I started as a music education major — and let’s just say, that chapter was short but meaningful ( got outta there outta there)! I’m so thankful for the people I met in the School of Music and have deep respect for everyone who finished that journey.
Today, I’m walking across this stage 100 pounds lighter, loc’d up, and walking in freedom — no longer on medication for anxiety or depression. It’s been a complete 180. And while I give all glory to God, I also thank every person at Jackson Devante State who poured into me with kindness, love, and generosity. Y’all are the reason this place feels like home.
To be loved is to be a student at Jackson State.
I didn’t think I’d make it past 17 — but look at God.
I love you all, and I’m forever grateful.

We sat down with @ctrld1212 to talk about her new single Serious—but the conversation quickly moved beyond the record.
From community and discipline to intention and timing, Ctrl-D reflects on what it means to create honestly while still becoming.
