About Me

 Hello! I'm Jamion, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my website. This space reflects my diverse passions, work, and creative pursuits. Whether you’re interested in my academic endeavors, community advocacy, artistic expression, or professional services, you'll find a platform that showcases my efforts to inspire, connect, and make a positive impact both in my community and beyond.  

Here, you can explore the intersection of culture, values, and well-being through my research, creative projects, speaking engagements, and music. I am deeply committed to understanding how these elements shape both individuals and communities, as well as how we can all contribute to the growth of these areas.  Through my academic work, my podcast MUDDY, and my music, I strive to create opportunities for growth, understanding, connection, and overall well-being. Welcome, again, and  Enjoy your visit! 

 I am a passionate researcher, creator, and community advocate. My journey is a blend of academic exploration, cultural curiosity, and artistic expression. I have dedicated much of my life to understanding how culture and values influence our well-being and shape our personal and professional experiences. As a graduate student at the University of Southern Mississippi, I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Psychology with a specialization in Cognitive Social Psychology. I feel honored to be a part of the Culture, Values, and Well-Being Lab, where my research focuses on how cultural values impact mental health, resilience, and social cohesion.  Beyond my research, my passions are deeply rooted in my personal values. I believe in the power of people and the importance of coming together to support one another. Through academic pursuits, creative outlets, and advocacy work, my goal is to create spaces that foster emotional, social, and professional well-being for individuals and communities alike.
 

The MUDDY Podcast

One of the ways I bring my commitment to community well-being to life is through my podcast, MUDDY. In this space, I explore the unique culture, values, and well-being of everyday Mississippians. Through candid conversations with individuals from diverse walks of life, MUDDY dives deep into the traditions, challenges, and triumphs that shape our state’s culture. My hope is that through storytelling, I can amplify voices, celebrate the resilience of the people of Mississippi, and promote a deeper understanding of how culture influences our collective well-being.

The Power of Music

When I’m not immersed in research or community work, you’ll find me expressing myself through music. As a talented singer, I believe in the profound ability of music to heal, connect, and elevate the human experience. Music serves as my creative outlet—a channel through which I express emotions, tell stories, and bring people together. Whether I’m performing live or exploring new sounds in the studio, singing is an essential part of my identity and my artistic expression. It’s an integral piece of who I am, and I find joy in sharing this part of myself with others.
