Starr said Mars loved the way she said the name of Mississippi's capitol city. “He was like, 'Where you from? ' I was like, 'I'm from Jackson, Mississippi. ' So, it was like the twang and the Jackson, so he said, 'Anytime you get to say Jackson, Mississippi, you have to say it like that,'” Starr said.

Jackson is a soulful city and one with a rich and, at times, turbulent history. There are 29 museums spread out around the city, three cultural and historic districts to explore, plenty of excellent restaurants, and a vibrant nightlife scene.

None of the households in Jackson, MS reported speaking a non-English language at home as their primary shared language. This does not consider the potential multi-lingual nature of households, but only the primary self-reported language spoken by all members of the household.
