Hey there, I'm Brianna!

Just a little about me...

Hey, my name is Brianna Simmons and I am currently a senior Broadcast Communications major at South Carolina State University. When I'm not busy with work, I love shooting news stories, participating in campus organizations, and supporting my University in any way possible. My career goal is to work as an entertainment news correspondent and reporter.

I love all things media and television, and have spent the last couple of years trying to get experience in my field and perfect my craft. I also enjoy spending time with family and loved ones whenever I have free time. I've learned that life is all about surrounding yourself with love and positivity, and those that celebrate you.

I hope to not only inspire but to impact others on my journey to success. One of my favorite quotes is, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." My goal is to always stand for something, and to make a difference in this world through the grace of God.

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy my blog!

The World of Twitter

I have to admit that when twitter first became popular, I wasn't at all interested in creating an account.  I asked those who were apart of the popular site, "Why do you care what what people are doing?" I just didn't understand the point of always seeing what others were doing and for everyone to see what your always doing as well.

Fast forward to a few years later and I tweet almost once or a few times a day. When I decided to join Twitter, I looked at it from a networking aspect. Being a broadcast communications major I felt that it was important for me too be a part of social networking and to know whats going on in my community and the world. Plus it was also fun and entertaining to be apart of.

Over the past few years I've seen Twitter grow tremendously. A site that was first created in 2006 to keep people updated with daily instant status posts, is now one of the number one news sources. People now use twitter for news updates, entertainment, and keeping up to date with world leaders and their favorite celebrities. Twitter has definitely created a new way to seek news, and allow people across the world to connect with the tap of an icon.

I love to use twitter for news, trending topics, and daily inspiration. Some of the profiles I follow are CNN, and also my schools official page for up to the date news and information about campus news and events. I also follow Joel Osteen, and Iyanla Vanzant for inspiration and daily advice. I like for my timeline to be filled with useful information and positivity.

Twitter, just like any other social media outlet can very useful and helpful if used the correct way. If you love to network, express your opinion, and stay up to date on news, then I say give Twitter a try.

The Creative Mind

For Devante, the Sky is the Limit...

Personality Profile

Who: Devante Williams

Major: Sophomore, Communications Major 

Hometown: Greenville, SC

Interests: Working for SCSU Student Media, filming, and listening to music

Favorite Movie: House Party (series)

School: South Carolina State University

Devante Williams is now a sophomore at South Carolina State University, where he is majoring in Broadcasting Communications. I was able to interview him about his dreams, aspirations, hobbies, and interests.

Williams said this about what he wants to do after college, "I really want to own my own television show, have a clothing line, or be a reporter for ESPN." I think its safe to say that Williams has big dreams and plans for his future.

When he's not planning for his future Devante loves to play sports, collect sneakers, listen to music, and spend time with his family. His sister even taught him how to cook! 

Throughout the course of the interview Devonte brought up his love for sports, and attributes this to his sister. He says, "she got me interested in sports and she made me hooked on football, basketball and everything else."

Devante also has a passion for music. He is a fan of J.Cole, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, and Jay Z; just to name a few. This love for music has also become an inspiration for Devante, especially the music of rapper Tupac Shakur. He says, "Tupac inspired me be because he wanted to make a change, he had a positive outlook and he wanted people to better themselves."

 I think its safe to say that Devonte has a future full of endless possibilities, and the ambition to match.

You can follow Devonte on Twitter and Instagram, where you can get a glimpse into the world of this creative young mind.
