âHowever small men envy meâ
I have so much love, gratitude and respect for a fraternity unlike no other, I wouldnât have it any other way. To the THUNDER that is the Theta Eta chapter, thank you for steering this kid away from thoughts that trapped me in a cycle of doubt, fears, and lack of confidence. Had it not been for the experiences, conversations, and bonds made I probably wouldnât have accomplished all in the chapter that I have. Iâll never forget each one of you that showed up for me in times when I needed it most, truly.
The confident young man that I present to yâall wasnât always there but Iâm thankful for the LBâs & proÎŁ who helped shaped me into who I am today; s/out to Jakeem, Trell, King, Jaylan, Ki-jana, Ciedarius, Darius, and Ant McNair.
To the 9 L.E.G.E.N.D.ÎŁ.,
Being your ACE has been a roller coaster, but Iâm appreciative of our experience together because it has helped shaped my confidence in a way more than youâll ever know. Praying for much success to each of youâ love yâall boyÎŁ!
To my neoÎŁ, (all 3 sets)
âUncâ speaking, as they like to call me lmao. Thank you for allowing me to inspire you and mentor you in the way I felt was essential to your growth. Always present the best version of yourselves and do it unapologetically. Remember all of my spill of encouraging words and wisdom for moments thatâll seem impossible or unworthy. Iâll always have your back no matter the circumstance. Even though I may not be with you 24/7 anymore, please know Iâll always be the biggest supporter in everything you guys doâ much success & love my nephewÎŁ!

My journey into Delta Land was not ideal, but it was mine. Regardless of what people may think happened, or what narrative people may have painted, I always stayed true to who I was. I treated everyone the way I wouldâve wanted to be treated, even when that energy was not given in return. Matthew 5:14âď¸
With or without the letters on my chest, Iâm a Delta Woman through and through, and NO ONE can take that away from me. Work hard, Pray, and ofc I have the GPA.
To My Aunt: Following through in your legacy was one of my dreams come true. Thank you for guiding me through and keeping me whole throughout. @kiyablack
To DaDeltaz: Thank you for giving me the example of real sisterhood. Thank yâall for having my back in every single aspect. Our time together has been no where near perfect, but we made the best out of every situation. I love yall!
Delta all through the day, Delta all through the night. Real always know real, and thatâs something I never had to do too much about.

I thank God for bringing me this far.
Becoming Miss Jackson State was and still is a fever dream. This position has brought me the biggest blessings and the greatest triumphs. Heavy is the head that wears the crown truly, but I am so thankful for my entire village for supporting me throughout.
To thee Remarkables: To be your Miss Sophomore was an experience that I would never trade. This court gave me big sisters and brothers, that I would cherish for a lifetime. Thank you for being my blueprint! #ForeverRemarkable
To My Babies, My Court, Thee Vanguards: I always said that I wanted a royal court that would be like no other, and thatâs why you should be more specific what you ask for lol. We have overcame so much, and truly only the strong survive! I love you all dearly, and I wouldnât trade yâall for anything, thank you for allowing me to lead you throughout this year. May this court be your example that mediocrity is never an option. âžď¸ #RatchetRoyals #YCAT
To My Miss JSUâs Lauren and Anealia: The support that you have shown me has never gone unnoticed. You both have been there for me before the crown, day 1, at the drop of a dime. I thank you all for welcoming me into this sisterhood with open arms. Yâall have definitely reminded me that I am never alone during this reign. @lotheescientist@anealiaaaa
When itâs all said and done, to impact one single life has made this journey well worth the ride. Thank you God for carrying me to this point and throughout this reign. Thank you JSU always for entrusting me to take on this position.

iâm still evolving⌠but Iâm just getting started.
I trusted God, stayed the course, and now Iâm walking into everything He promised!
Little ole me would have never thought I would attend college in Jackson, Mississippi, but look at me now. I came, I saw, and I conquered. What once felt so far out of reach became my reality, and along the way, I found strength I didnât even know I had.
Iâm so thankful for my family; your love, support, and constant encouragement carried me through every high and low. Even in moments when I felt uncertain or overwhelmed, you reminded me of my strength and kept me grounded. I wouldnât be here without you, and Iâm forever grateful for everything youâve done for me.
To the journalism department, my professors, and mentors, thank you for pouring into me, challenging me to think deeper, and helping me find my confidence in this field. Your guidance truly made a lasting impact on my journey.
Now, Iâm leaving with a degree, a story to tell, and a future full of possibilities. This is just the beginning. GOD I THANK YOU!!
