Member-Trissean McDonald
My name is Trissean. I'm a Los Angeles City College transfer student, and currently majoring in broadcast journalism. Black talented individuals receive very little recognition for their work, or even the effort they put into it. I want to focus my area of study within journalism toward Arts and Entertainment, as well as the marijuana industry. Too many people are uneducated about the beneficial properties of pot, and only view it as a recreational drug. It's time for the public to become more aware that medicinal marijuana is being given to children who are epileptic and it's aiding in decreasing seizures within minors. I don't know...I kinda want to do it all.
