RaShondra

RaShondra "Shonnie" Jackson is from Miami, Florida and is a Broadcast Media Studies major at Florida International University. She considers herself a story-teller and aspires to work in the television industry as either a writer, producer, host of an entertainment show, actress on an acclaimed series or maybe even all of the above. Her love for television developed at a young age. At birth she was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease and was very sick as a child. Her illness kept her indoors or hospitalized, with nothing to do besides play with Barbie Dolls and watch TV. RaShondra grew up with shows such as “Moesha,” “Kenan and Kel,” “Sister Sister,” and plenty more. Watching the show was never enough; she wanted to know how it was made and asked questions like: “Is this a real family or are they actors?”; “How does the show get on my TV?”; and “What do they mean when they say ‘filmed in front of a live studio audience’ ?” This sprouting curiosity and love for the television industry led her to the path I am on today. RaShondra has interned for media companies such as 2C Media, ROPP Media and LMG Entertainment. At these companies she has gotten real-world experience and has developed her marketing skills. Along with her own projects, RaShondra has also worked on a number of web shows including Drama For Your Soul's "The Wait" where she serves as an Assistant Producer. RaShondra's hobbies include community service, writing, photography and of course, watching television.
