I am a member of the national union of journalists!
The National Union of Journalists is a fantastic way to become a part of a wide community offering numerous job/networking opportunities in the future
God knows why I didn't hear of this organisation before - I've already been able to find great events to go to in order to gain more contacts and meet new people which I love to do, as well as gaining bigger and better job opportunities too
I haven't fully utilised my NUJ benefits as of yet due to the MOUNTAIN of university work I'm doing. But wait till summer, this card WILL be utilised very well and I will literally be at every event promoted for budding journos like myself!
When I think about it, this documentary is huge! It's an idea that's been in thought for a while and I just had to grab this opportunity of planning to do it once my flight to New York City was booked!
It's called 'Consumerism: in love with my Jordans'. I won't give too much away but just like my last two documentaries, I'm sending a clear message across to the public and giving you all something to take from it!
Soo excited for everyone to see. I have many high hopes in this as I wasn't completely on my own in the editing process; editing which isn't something I specialise in at all lol, so I'm grateful to have been given help! - I'm learning though, and will take master classes in the summer :)
Anyway, stay tuned y'all! *American accent*

80% of my childhood consisted of watching all American films and shows, so a perception of concrete jungle was always in mind; I knew what it looked like, I knew the accents, I knew of events. I just needed to be there!
An eight hour turbulence filled flight later, and I'm here :D
I can honestly say that I love this place! I've met such diverse and warming souls. New York fascinates me and makes me want to explore further. I'm so blessed and happy to be here. An incredible quote by a friend that I found has stuck in mind (and always will)
"What's ambition if it doesn't circle the globe? Use passports, not oysters. That's selfish."
I have something SO EXCITING in store and can't wait to share with the world!!!
