summer internship at WLBT in Jackson, Mississippi.
  Jar'Kevious' bright personality, elegance, oratory skills, and charm 
have gained him the victory in winning the title of Mr. Mississippi

awaits, Jar'Kevious plans to branch out into the field of broadcast 
journalism as a news reporter and/or anchor.

America, CNN, hosting Entertainment Tonight, and one day his own

of living.''--Nelson Mandela,

Jar'Kevious Edwards for his dedication and tenacity to serving his 
community and desire to be an example for all.
