Students of Loyola: Camille Jackson

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at LUC chapter.

Students of Loyola: a take on the very exciting, emotional, and raw, “Humans of New York.” We want to capture the students at Loyola in a way that has not been done before. We want people’s joy and struggles to be out there, without forcing anything too much.

 

Meet Camille Jackson​: 

 

 

What is one of your dreams in life?  

“One of my dreams that I’m actively working towards is becoming a filmmaker/ storyteller. By showing the array of people’s interests, experiences, and identities through film and writing, I have the opportunity to showcase that our differences are what make us beautiful, unique, and united. Ever since I was a child, stories, through television, film, and books, has been a pivotal role within my life. The media shaped my perceptions of the world, and as I grew up, I noticed not seeing people that looked like me in leading roles, or the roles being portrayed were one-dimensional. This, to me, as a black woman, was disheartening. My goal as a storyteller is to reach out to other young people and tell them that they and their experiences are valid and they deserve to feel seen.”

 

I am a fourth year student at Loyola University Chicago. I am highly interested in journalism, and social media marketing, especially when it comes to news and fashion. My current experiences consist of sales in different companies throughout the Midwest, such as Ann Taylor and Kate Spade, and editorial work with various companies, including Her Campus and Orange Coast magazine.
