       Being a loyal daughter to South Carolina State University from 2012 to 2016, Kris Kaylin Bennet has branched off and stole the mass media industry. Kris started off majoring in Business Marketing Management, however as time progressed her inspirations from MTV hit show Girl/Guy code lead her to the communications field.  

      From there she lead the idea to start a web series called  "Bulldog Bite". She produced this content to enhance the social network for her name and her school. She felt like this would be a great opportunity to get students involved with being open about student life. 

      Aside from "Bulldog Bite", Bennet was very involved on campus with different organization groups. She served as a member of CAB, Royal Court, and SGA. Not to mention she is also apart of the Alumni Association and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.  

    There was a scheduled virtual Zoom call with Kris Kaylin Bennet. This granted the privilege of getting some insight on life now after graduation and the new position as a Social Media Influencer. 

   Due to her well eventful path throughout school she is now a weekend radio host at Z93 Jams; located in Charleston, South Carolina. There bennet discusses music life, social media gossip and more.

"I definitely like radio the most because I actually get to be my full self…..Radio incorporates everything that I do, from recording to social media, and public speaking."

Kris Bennet most recently became the Creative Director of Black Southern Belle. With this position, she is obligated to create the content for their site. From the flyer, video promotions, and uploading onto social media; Ms. Bennet does it all. 

Working in this position, has lead to Bennet discovering new connections and signing deals. Prior to this interview, she agreed to the deal of creating content for a few PR companies that have reached out to Black Southern Belle.

 Bennet does express that she can see herself with a brand of her own someday. Yet, with the experience of working with Black Southern Belle, she is marked to seek grants and funding to build her branding foundation .

   "I think eventually I'm going to be able to verge out and create my own brand for it, so, ABSOUTLEY". 

Being in the field for just about 5 years, she has been blessed with opportunities of interviewing celebrities' such as; Kanye West, Brandy, and Trey Songz. Not only that, but she was most recently listed upon a prominent group of Alumni.

 This group is based upon the many students who have graduated and surfaces a successful reputation in their field.  Kris Kaylin is yet another former student who has made SC State proud. 

However, Kris shared that it was pretty tough getting in the field. Following behind that the expression of getting yourself out there and drawing your self- image was mentioned. 

"Once you get your foot in the door, you have to kill it...…It's a small circle. Once you get in the industry, you will realize how small the circle is ".

In order to gradually be as successful, Kris believes that building a professional relationship with your professors is the key to finding guidance. She does mention how much of a help Professor Patrick Harwood (the call host) has brought to her success. Ms. Bennet hopes that her accomplishments are to be a motive to those who are interested in communications or have doubt to take risk.

final draft

 What Are Ways You Can Shut Up Haters!

WHAT IS GOING ON GUYS!! So a lot of people are dealing with the obsessive crowds that do not know how to praise somebody on his or her accomplishments. The world is sick in its own way and this brings doubt into those with high talents. Today, I'm going to give you a few pointers with descriptions that will help you succeed to shut up your haters. 

Step 1 Focus on making a plan 

If you want to be the bigger person make sure you have a plan of what you want in life. First you need to ask yourself what exactly do I want to accomplish. Day after day someone is put down of a job , gig, or what ever you want to call it because they really did not have a plan. Your plan needs to include the following: 

- What is your career goal?

- Do you keep up with the updates of that field?

-  What impact are you planning to make? 

-Are you confident enough to be who you say you are?

- How will you bounce back when turned down? 

These are morals that haters nick pick over when somebody is trying to make it big. It is up to you to prove to yourself that you can do anything you put your mind to. 

Step 2 Start chasing the bag

When the saying "early bird gets the worm" is an actually fact? It must be the top motivator for business motives, trend setters, driven students, because that statement belongs in the hearts of those who do not mind a challenge along the way. 

 Hypothetically  speaking, you as an individual may see yourself as a bump in the road. Well I'm here to clarify that there are different types of bumps in the road. May I proceed? Nope, I think you see where I'm headed.  Every bump in the road has a purpose; either to make damage or safe travel. Pick one wisely, ok? 

DO NOT doubt yourself when in the process of going after something you want. 

 

Chasing the bag is not just about making money, but about find yourself and sustaining growth. This leads to the next step. 

Step 3 Growth 

Now personally speaking, growth is a motive that masters the strength of all mankind. Haters hate growth, depending how well the growth is. No one can really hate if you have made a complete 360. 

 Finding your true intermission is very important. Ways it may be important, check this out:

1. Boost your mental health.

2. Strengthens brain operations.

3. Lowers stress levels/anxiety.                                               

4. Plants a new seed in clear future. 

Do not feel that because something bad went wrong, that it is time to stop pushing. That is your push. Haters and backstabbers wants nothing more than to see you fail and find themselves wanting all good to benefit them. 

You must do a self-evaluation to see the potential other are jealous of. 

Step 4  Do not discuss next move

Those who doubt you will not be sad when you fall. If you are planning something, never tell your plans. Geniuses never just rat out what is to come, but instead work and surprise bystanders with a masterpiece. 

Sometimes it is ok to be to yourself. Honestly that is the best way to handle those who despise you.  When it is time to think and plot your next move do it in a way that is very discrete. No one should know the underground working of the final production. Take that time to simplify things accordantly.

 Step 5 Take your time

This is the last step for the simple reason that you can not rush you process. It can probably take years to get to where you need to be. Yet, when you take your time it will really pay off as something bigger in the end. Everyone has a pace he or she may follow. What is your pace?

Try to reason with yourself sometimes; it works. Give all that you have and know that your passion will carry on your dream. Go steady and not to fast. This will lead you into giving up and failing. Failure will happen, but your self worth and style will never fail you. 

Comment if this was helpful at all in any way. Peace. Love. and Happiness.

Thing NOT to Say During a Job Interview

 Things NOT to Say During a Job Interview

Everyday someone is called in by a company he or she has shown interest in. The interviewee is more than likely a nervous wreck, depending on how long the wait was for the interview. When anxiety levels are high certain standard go out of the window. The most important accomplishment at the moment is getting the job! Here are 5 Tip of things not to say during an interview. 

Expert Author, Don  Georgevich, gave a few pointer on particular techniques in a job interview. lets began.

1-Do not mention anything bad about previous or current job. 

This is a dead give away that you seem to be very messy in terms of spreading rumors. No company wants their in employees to start unnecessary drama in the business world. By you saying you never liked your job makes the other company look bad even though you were the one being affected. 

Another issue with complain to the interviewer about previous work, lets them know if you were to stop working with them, then it is common for you to talk bad about then to the next job in line. So, try to avoid bashing you previous or current occupation.

2- Do not be too desperate

DO NOT SETTLE FOR LESS. By showing how much you need the job or a job in general will result into you running errands for little pay. Georgevich explains that as the interviewee, your job is to tell the company what you want to do. 

This gives yourself confidence and that will place you in better position than where you may start. Also the interviewer will take you more seriously in hopes to make you business partners with other companies. instead of staying " I will do anything, what do you have for me" try  " I'm interested in this certain position" and if they can not seem to offer that to you it is best to just leave or go on with the interview and get back with them later on you decision.  

3- Do not list descriptive words when asked about yourself. 

It is a trick question but not really. Normally, when someone say " Tell me about yourself" you would answer back with a story maybe leaving out minor events until further noticed, do the same thing, but focusing on work abilities. Be more open on the topic of what makes you a good fit for that job. I'm sure the interviewer will see that you are capable of benefiting the company with your working skills. 

4- Do not say you've never knew or heard of a techniques that the company uses. 

This is a dead give away that you have no experience for the applied job. However, it is important to express that you have had similar skills that matches what they are asking for. If you put out that you do not have much experience, there is a chance that the interview will continue, but the accomplish job snatch is out the window. 

5- Do not ask interview what exactly does the company do. 

Honestly what was the point of you applying for that job. You should have an idea as to what the purpose is behind the company. So, to ask such a question is very disrespectful. 

Maybe you do not know exactly how to ask questions about the job well here are some options.

-Does your company provide working benefits?

- What does success look like  in this position?

-Are there opportunities for professional development?

Please take these pointers into consideration in the magnitude of snatching a job. Don Georgevich, pushed the high expectation of someone who is looking for a job. Remember these 5 tips and live with it and maybe use this a critique when interviewing someone.  

The Struggles of 2020 becomes Normalized.

Everyone was so ready to start this new year and live life for a better purpose. Little did we all know that continuous deaths, a deadly sickness, and injustice protest was going to be taking over all year. I’ve been trying to hold on to the last bit of my black hair as my stress levels from work, school work, and extra activities have made my life a tad bit hectic. 

WHAT HAS BEEN MY BIGGEST TEST SINCE THE PANDEMIC? 

Ever since the Coronavirus outbreak, I find myself  in a static position. I have been delayed on purchasing my first apartment; that I was suppose to be living in by early June. As you all can see it’s well past August and we are pushing through September. I can’t take living in a place that already has very little to do and places to go, to being a town of nothing to do at all. 

Students finding it hard to adapt to online school

The place that I’m working at doesn’t pay as much, but enough to barely get by; is making it very hard to save money. I’ve tried to hold off on buying certain thing like types of food, clothing, yet, I need these thing plus more. 

It like I’m pulling a piece of cotton candy, instead of it pulling apart to make a new piece; it just pops right back to the shape it use to be. I'M NOT GETTING ANYWHERE. 

When it come to school work, I planned to be very engaged and ahead. As of today, I can honestly say that my brain is not as focused. I’m so use to being on campus and being hands on; it’s hard for me to keep that working mindset when working from home. I’m too comfortable. 

On top of that, professors are not following the normal schedules, but expect us to go along like we do not have jobs and things to do just as much as they do. All of the zoom meetings are a waste of time because of technical difficulties and like I’ve said before (about not following the time based on our normal class schedule) the new procedures are conflicting with homework time and work as well. 

Student are shown to lose attention span quicker 

No offense to all teachers, but the phrase “ I’ve got my degree you just need to get yours” is no longer an excuse at this point. Students, especially college students are  trying to get their education, work so they won’t be too much of a burden to parents, all while trying to get a good start in the field they have spent their time and money on; all while in a pandemic. What is funny is that it's making it hard to do so because of “social distancing”. 

Teachers have a their job! Not saying that it’s their dream job, but they have a job that they have experience in. Read between the words if it doesn’t make sense because it will. Yes, some task may not be assigned during these times, but how is it affecting the teachers? It’s not, it’s affecting the students. NO ONE THINKS ABOUT THAT. I could go into more details, it’s just that I want people sit and think about it themselves. 

THE REMAKE OF HISTORY IS REMADE AT THE RIGHT TIME? 

As all may know of the death of George Floyd ;if not I will post a link. Floyd was killed while being arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He left behind close family including his five children. 

I can't breath

The united states went into an uproar over the situation. It was almost as if the black community really had enough and wanted to be heard. America broke out with a mass amount of protest across the map; even international countries were join by protesting. 

In my opinion I was all for the protesting, looting all of that. Not just because of the fact that I’m tired of the racial profiling, but because I have the understanding that the black community has been fight for almost two centuries and change. 

It’s getting old. We didn’t ask to be here, just to be killed of because if our features and skin color. I’m sorry whites are can’t think of themselves so they steal our culture. It really pissed me off we can’t have anything yet we are the one making the country generate. 

#BLACKLIVESMATTER

 If the United States keep killing us then I would love to watch   over and seen how the country will operating. My heart is   heavy for all of the men and women killed by police. It hurts       to know they could not live his or her life like everybody else. 

I'm sick of America! I have my doubts of making it into the the journalistic field because I'm dark skin and not light skin. I've grown up being racially profiled by teachers and co-workers ,but I'm still pushing. People are dying left to right and the American citizen are pushing for justice before there is no more people to fight. I would hate to have my kids be brought into this world knowing this is what it looks like. 

How much of a lead are you in?

HOW CAN YOU CHANGE UP THE LEAD OF                                 THINGS?

Not taking charge of that sort but to actually change the lead of a stories ten different ways. Below I have two news leads, one from an entertainment story and another from a political news story.
