Greetings and Salutations, 2024, Debutantes:

You have moved from declarations to demonstrations. You are leading by example. Patterns you have followed and established by your families will equip you to enter this phase of your lives with the virtues, visions, and values that will become more apparent in days to come. You will develop more and more through the crucible of time as gems that shine and reflect life's lessons through perseverance and pageantry.

Today, as you debut into society, we celebrate you and the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. We honor your courage, congeniality, and control of yourselves. Congratulations on this step into prominence and promotion.

As the 66th mayor of the City of Waycross, it is with honor that I commend and congratulate you.

Best regards,

Dr. Michael-Angelo James, Mayor

She enjoys playing and watching basketball, spending time with her family, and listening to music.

She played basketball her freshman and junior year of high school and enjoyed it a lot. She is also a part of the Ware County High School Student Council.

She currently works at Starbucks and during her employment time, she has gained valuable life skills as a direct result from being in the workforce. To elaborate, she’s acquired what the value of customer service is and what professionalism in and outside the work environment really is. She enjoys working with and connecting with customers to provide a better experience for them as well as herself. All in all, she has high expectations for herself and plans to stay level headed, putting all of her faith in God. Jomari is ready for all of the lessons and experiences life has to offer her.
