INTRODUCING...THE SMOOTHEST.....JJ BROWN!

A while back I interviewed South Carolina University student JJ Brown. Just being able to communicate with him gave me a clear view of who he really is. Let's get to it!

So, to start things off he goes by the name of JJ Brown lol. He says it makes easier for those who can't seem to pronounce his name. For example, I could not pronounce his name right for anything so , he just told him to call him JJ. 

JJ is a 22 year old, journalism major. Brown likes to enjoy hanging out with his family and friends; as well as performing music with them at local bars or chill spots.

     I asked him what his long term goal would be he answered " To become on of the hottest radio host out". I believe that will be a big and successful move.He most definitely have the personality for that 

   Last but not least I asked him what would be his short term goal, and I think he won everyone's hearts with this answer,

" To graduate I guess" 








!SIDE NOTE!

I can honestly say that working with JJ Brown was very inspirational. He is always willing to put he best foot forward and never seems to give up on any given task. 
So, I would like to thank Mr. Brown for taking the time out of his day to participate in this interview.  I advice anyone to go checkout his most recently blog posts at JJ's Jam.

AGAIN I THANK YOU AS READERS AND VIEWERS.

The Peninsula Stories (review)

ABOUT KRIS

    Kris Bennett is a South Carolina State University Alumna who has taken the mass communications field under her wings. Starting off with a small campus vlog called " Bulldog Bite" Bennett has taking her producing skills to the next level. On Thursday, October 17th, Kris and her team came and premiered her first documentary film "The Peninsula Stories". The film is plotted around two individuals by the name of Ralph and Sid. Ralph and Sid were star basketball players who was on the path to a lifetime dream. 



 However, things didn't go as planned when Star player Sid was broadcasted all over the local news on his denial to play college ball. The reasoning for the rejection according to the news was that Sid's grades did not match their criteria. This was devastating for the residents of charleston because that was the home of Sid and just about everyone knew him. Yet, he doesn't let that stop him today he continues to teach basketball aside for his main occupation.


IN THE MAKING

Kris Bennett gather around some of the students of the Communications department.
Producer Kris Bennett, talked with the students enrolled in the communications department about the struggles that came with making this documentary. She mention that the hardest part about shooting was getting the interviewees to say what was needed on camera rather than off camera. "It was really hard for the people to not be so camera shy, they would say what I wanted them to say off camera instead of on camera" Bennett stated. Another struggle was editing, Kris made it very known how long it was to edit the documentary. " Editing took three weeks" Kris says. She also advises anyone who does want to produce anything to plan way ahead of time.

PINTEREST CONNECTS

Pinterest  was founded in the year of 2010 by Internet Entrepreneur, Bill Silbermann. Pinterest is an app that has a variety of different topics and interest. So many people have use this website to find different ideas for events, gifts, and more. Not only that but, to promote his or her business and programs. I have found to be rather interesting when it comes to actually finding something in a quick and a hurry. 

MY Pinterest account is build based off of my life and my accomplishments. I did this because for one I'm still in school and need to get my viewers a way to get to know me. If your interested check out my account now : My Pinterest . On my Account you will see that there are three boards with my life adventures and accomplishments. Also located on there will be my social interest as well. 


This post in particular won't be as long, I just wanted to touch bases on this app. It is a good way to see who all may have similar taste as you. The app to me is something totally new and worth it. The only thing that is kind of confusing is learning the process of trying to gain followers. Overall, everything is self explanatory.

Tweet all about it!!!

Tweet for Twitter

    Founded in 2006 this social media app has pulled the entertainment minds of individuals to give his or her feedback on the latest gossip. This little app started off the same as any other social media app. However, once people started to use the app, posting pictures an memes were now old news. Twitter is a light of upcoming events, local and national news, etc. Not only that, but makes progress when broadcasting a new trend.

I've personally used twitter simply because I felt like it would give me better entertainment. Aside from Facebook letting me post what happened during my week, Instagram showing off the nice bodies of Instagram models; Twitter did both, but everything was posted in a way that drew me because I either related to it or envisioned it. Nothing was too cliché. 

Im not big on posting, but more so on retweeting and sharing with family and friends. In other words I really don't know how to use Twitter. I know, how do you not know how to use Twitter? Well it's not that easy if a person is not too social. When Twitter first came out I was only eight years old, but knew a little bit about the app. In my opinion, too many people were hyping Twitter up way too much. 

Now when I started using the app I didn't want to follow to many outside people. I did this because I wanted to gather the information (A.K.A gossip) from the highlighted source. However if I were to need raw evidence then I would look onto other peoples profiles for help. I hate follow people and be the second one or last one to know stuff, so I would follow the most trending celebrities or politicians in the media and go from there. Below is a few people that I like to stay connected with: 

Beyonce
IamZoie
Barack Obama 
WorldStar

These profiles are really good depending on your social interest.



HOLD UP NOW

Personally, I'm not the one who is all into politics, but I do find Donald Trumps tweets to be very controversial. I say this because no matter how I think of him sometimes the stuff he tweets are comical to me because it sometimes he doesn't make sense, but sometimes he tweets stuff that just makes America appalled. 

He recently posted a tweet as it reads, "There are no felonies, there are no Impeachable offenses. The Constitution's very clear that you need bribery, treason, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. You can't be impeached for the conduct that's been alleged this case @AlanDersh Dershowitz. @Seanhannity A Scam!

To me that's comical because he has push to do all of those things, but failed to think we as the Citizens of the United States would realize it. Overall, this is a good tweet considering what was going on in the media about the Impeachment allegations. 

I have posted my twitter account under my social media linked below and on the left side just click the twitter icon . Be sure to check it out.

What is it to be LinkedIn?

WHAT IS IT TO BE LINKED-IN?

LinkedIn is a well know social networking site for business associate and workers looking and finding connections that can become an open door for many career choices.  I believe that this particular site blew up due to the results of each users connections. However, people do not know the exact way to catch the eye of the higher authorities.
     
        1. A perfect profile picture (casual or business professional) I personally do not have one, but with the permission in my loving cousin she provided me with hers. This is a prime example of a high professional head shot.

        2. You want your LinkedIN account to provide every piece of education you have been rewarded with, internships, and life term accomplishments.
For example, under education I would put my high school and college, as well as my college where I will be pursuing my masters degree.


   Personally, I like the fact that LINKED-IN is a way for people searching for good job quality is able to really connect people who are in the same boat. Not only that, but individuals are able to show off his or her resume publicly.

   When it come to actually connecting with someone, the commentary of them do not seem to be harsh, but more so helpful. I might be closer than I  thought I would be to the job of my dreams. However, something may be missing from my resume that I was not aware of.

  This come to taking in my responsibilities as an adult to actually do my research and find out exactly the job I'm looking at is looking for.


STAYING CONNECTED


     After building your LINKED-IN account make sure you contact the ones you've made connections with. Do not try to wait until someone reaches out to you. You want to push yourself and stay on the backs of the ones who provide the sources for your next career choice.

Also this person in particular is a great help when it comes to making connections.
