Jamica C. Ashley

About (request update)

I was born a writer and have been one ever since. I've had obstacles that I've been able to overcome and some that are a work in progress. My honesty catches many off guard and my work ethic surprises many.

My Interview Question

How are you going about bringing change to this world?

Current Whereabouts:

I volunteer with a domestic violence shelter and as a mentor with a local community college. I write in my spare time and read a lot. I begin graduate school in January and work at a small town newspaper.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I aspire to become a professor of English who integrates the written word with film and show students how the two intertwine to give a better glimpse of the time of their creation. Personally, I aspire to be a better me.

Education (request update)

Elizabeth City State University class of 2005

Undergrad Major: Mass Communication

Claim To Fame:

After college I will become as important, if not more so, than Oprah Winfrey. I will make a difference throughout the world as I inform and educate it.

Most Memorable Moment:

Well, I'm only a sophomore, but as of now, I don't have any.
