 Wassup y'all, as you know I am Youtber/ Social Media Influencer and with being a Youtuber you have to post consistently in order for your channel to grow. On Moday February 14, 2022, at 6pm I posted a video. The video was called "Fake College Basketball Scout Prank!" When I posted the video, I got the eyes everyone and I got some positive feedback and some negative feedback. When I checked on how the video was doing, the had got 300 views within 3 hours. But also, at the same time I have a lot of people blowing up my phone telling me to take the video down because I was going to get in so much trouble for it. (Side Note: I get paid for posting videos on Youtube, so I take this as a job that I love to do.) I gave it some thought and talked to some close friends to get their opinion on the situation. I ended up taking the video down for few, then I gave it some more thought and said to myself why let someone else stop your money? So, what I ended up doing was putting the v...

So, this week we kept a journal log of how many times we used our phones or used social media and I'm not going to lie it was very hard to keep track because we do it so often, we don't realize how many times we are using our phones and its very scary. Like when I was keeping track of how many times, we used our phones I would definitely forget to log the times that I did use it and it so stressful to keep, but I ended up getting the assignment done and I hope I did everything correctly. Since I have the same schedule almost every day all the days just be blending in sometimes.  The reason why I be on my phone so much is because I am an influencer, so I am constantly on my phone either editing content, posting content, networking with other people, or even interacting with my fans. Most days I usually spend a lot of time on my phone because I am mostly recording content that requires me to use my phone or to use my phone as a prop or I am editing which I do all my editing on my...

Wassup Trigga Mafia, This week I learned something new, it is something that will probably stick with me for the rest of my life. This week I learned the fear of activism and protesting on social media. Did y'all know that most people would rather give their opinion on the internet than rather go out in the streets and protest. People are afraid of going out and protesting because it is very dangerous, and they can possibly lose their life while doing so. Even sometimes people are afraid to even give their opinion on social because the backlash or the feedback they might receive back from their opinions and are afraid of getting judge by the public. This is what I learned this week. Now as far as how that relates to me, I feel like now and with being an influencer and having people care about what I say and what I do, I have no problem with sharing my opinion on political issues. Will I lose some followers in the process of doing so? It is a high chance that I will, but that is the...

 My name is Montrey Thompson or also known as Trey or Trigga or Trigga Trey. I'm from Baltimore, MD and I am 21 years old, about to turn 22 April 30th. I was raised by a single mother, but my dad didn't really come around until I was 12 years old. I have two sisters and 1 brother, all on my dad side, and I am the only child. My family is really small, it includes my mother, my grandmother, and my uncle. I am a Senior here at the Mount and plan on graduating this May 2022 and my major is sports management.  I came to the Mount on a partial scholarship for track, I ran the 400m and the 800m. I ran track for three years but recently I was kicked off the team because I was following my dreams by going to Atlanta and making content for my Youtube Channel and for Tik Tok with other creators. When I came back from Atlanta, they kicked me off the team. I felt like it was God's plan because if I was still on the team, I would not have any time to make any content, have any time to w...
