Unheard

Unheard

Some days I feel as if, I am screaming at the top of my lungs for everyone to hear my truth about myself, people, people's actions, LIFE, etc. No matter how high I scream, I still feel like my volume is on mute. Ironically, I will suggest and hint at things that seem unusual, but no one will listen. 

Feeling mute in an outspoken world is a pain. You feel as if no one wants to listen, no one cares. 

I lost a couple of "good" people in my life, that I "use" to count on all the time to listen......but they're not here anymore. I never expected those friendships to fade, I'd rather thought they will be around forever. I was so comfortable and dependent on those friendships, Life would seem to make sense whenever they were around. Everything felt natural for them to know all of me & I know all of them. As time began to change and fade into the hour, they faded too. Just because life was moving fast, didn't mean we had to grow apart.To be honest, I never dealt with the emotions I felt about us departing as friends because of the reasons surrounding why we departed. Never in a million years did I think I would lose a best friend to careless lie from a hating bih. Nor did I expect for my bff to turn on me and never speak to me again because she didn't get her away. Since they've been gone, times have gotten better but not my communication stayed complacent. My level of comfort of expressing how I am feeling, to minor chit chat about old flings hasn't been the same since going or separate ways. I find myself wanting to express my inner thoughts and emotions, but becoming mute because I haven't reached that comfort level, yet. That comfort level was composed of me being open, free to talk about anything, loyalty, having a sense of vulnerability, accountability, honesty, and dependability. Not your typical love, but the love that was unconditional for your best friend. The type of best friend love, you ride or die for.  It was the type of best friend love, that felt irreplaceable.

What's Your Purpose?

       What is your purpose? Do you ever wonder why certain things happen to you? Who will you be in the future? Why was were you created? If you ask yourself those questions, then you are perfectly fine. There is no such thing as a dumb questions. When we ask ourselves these questions, it is our job to find answers to them. Some of the questions require you to experience certain situations in life, however it is never too much to think about our future.

      What is my purpose? I may not be able to predict my future, but I know some/most of my purpose of life. I have a personality as bright as a colorful rainbow, and I can easily communicate with anybody. I cherish this as a gift from God, because not everyone is easy going with unfamiliar faces. After attending LEAP, it made my realize my purpose as talent, not a flaw. As my purpose will continue to help me blossom into a beautiful woman, it will help me in the entertainment industry. I plan to use my gift in efforts of becoming a nationally known entertainment talk show host. I will be the BEST entertainment host, since Oprah and Ellen. I am the voice of my generation. I am the positive impact, that will inspire millions to go out and make a difference in the community. I am a ten!

     As I continue to venture off  into life, accomplishing my dreams and following my dreams. I hope you all will follow your heart and dream big.

IRONIC INTERVIEWS

The #PinkSection and Lindenwood Freshmen Experience



        Today can be entitled as IRONIC.  As an aspiring entertainment talk show host, I am the one usually doing the interviews, but the tables have taken a turn for the good. Recently, I have had the opportunity to be interviewed twice in the same week. Amazing, right ?

     The first interview was about my freshmen experience at Lindenwood University. I was offered to do this interview by the Vice President of Admission at Lindenwood University. It was unexpected, because I did not think of anyone wanting me to do an interview at the time. However, I was very wrong. The interview day came and I was excited and a little nervous. It started off as a written interview and I was asked questions like my first experience in the city of St.Charles, Mo, Freshmen Experience Week, the safety of the community, life as a college student, and the distance from home. From there, the interview then led to an on-camera interview. I pictured everything that was there, Lights, Camera, and Action!

  The second interview was from the #PinkSection. #PinkSection is a blog ran by a friend of mine named Toni. I have known her since I was eleven years old. I was ecstatic to hear about her success in college and personal admiration .I was eager to do an interview for a friend of mine.The interview consisted of digital interview, written interview and footage for her video blog. The entire segment was very fun. I was asked about y life dreams, role models, makeup, boys, and the entire pageant experience as Miss Georgia Teen USA 2014. Followed by the interview were games, that consisted
of Hollywood questionnaires. Lastly the day ended with pictures and final catwalk finale showcase. I showed of my "diva" walk of a pageant.  

     Ultimately, this week has been a great time. I am glad to end off this semester with doing something fun an productive. Until next time.

              In the world of Journalism and Mass Communications the system is based on the entirety of humans. We as people control what the news is made of and how it can be viewed through media to the rest of the world. For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated with broadcast journalism and the entertainment field. As a college student, I am eager to know how in the next couple years the journalism world would change. As listed above, included various TED videos that related to my topic of Journalism, Communications, Augmented Reality, and Sports.
I chose Sports and a TED video related to gender/race in the workforce.  I chose both of those, because I was intrigued to find out other people deal with being the minority in their occupation. In Sports Journalism, there are not many women, nor African American women at that. As an aspiring sports commentator, I was eager to see how in the present day and future, the gender/race element. In addition, the other videos are based on the major topic of Journalism.

Interest in Professional Career

     I am a Communications Major with an interest in Broadcast Journalism at Lindenwood University. My goal is to obtain a Bachelor’s degree and pursue my dream of becoming a news reporter and later a news anchor for a major television network. 
"Start in a small TV station so you can make all of your embarrassing mistakes early and in front of fewer people!"

Diane Sawyer

     As a young girl, I've always fantasized of becoming a news anchor. I live for the fast- paced environment, filled with studious minds, while working around the clock to make sure the public is informed on the news of the day. News Anchors are the voice for the untold stories, the narrator of the daily news that consume our minds, society and world. As a reporter, journalist or anchors, they are the curious minds of the world. 
"If you're curious, you'll probably be a good journalist because we follow our curiosity like cats."

Diane Sawyer

      In closing, I understand the popularity of the career field with News Reporter/Anchor, however I am not afraid. I realize in life, people are going to want the same things as you, but you must believe in yourself. Do yourself justice by never giving due to who all wants the dream. In order to receive your destiny, you must want it bad enough you'll risk it all to have it. 

A love for Broadcast -Philosophy of the Day

A love for Broadcast

          As I drift off into my thoughts of the past, I realize i have always love broadcast journalism. Since, I was young girl I always wanted to become a news anchor. My professional interest has always been to be in front of the television screen providing real entertainment to the world. Lights, camera and action! The world of a news anchor/analyst is fast-paced, busy and enjoyable to those who can handle it. News Anchors are the first people you see in the morning and the last ones you see at night on television, usually. News anchors have the ability to share the important local and worldwide news to anyone across the world.
          My wildest dreams have been accomplished by the thought of pursing all that comes to mind.
