Yesterday, I was featured on Humans of USC! My lovely friend and fellow Annenberg Scholar featured me and shot me around campus; here are some of the words that tumbled out of my mouth:
“People are the best. I just love people. You don’t hear that enough. Everyone is so different. It’s like everyone is powered by some sort of strange kind of jewel like in the Sims, everyone’s jewel above their head is green, but I don’t think everyone’s jewel is green. I don’t know that’s so weird to say… People make me happy. Everyone is alive…and it’s just interesting to hear their stories. The best thing we have on this earth is people, so I treasure them.”

I am currently based in the SF Bay Area and work at Instagram as a Marketing Coordinator.
I’m a proud alumna of the University of Southern California c/o 2018 (B.A. Communication, Minors in Marketing and Spanish). As a Trustee Renaissance Scholar at USC, (Communication, Marketing, Spanish) I researched consumer behavior and culture theory, gave tours and shot red carpets. For three years, I served as Communications Coordinator of the USC African American Cinema Society. In Fall 2015, I performed research on the underrepresentation of women and racial groups in entertainment as part of USC Annenberg’s Media, Diversity & Social Change Initiative. This study, #CARD2016, was covered by nearly 100 outlets, including BBC, NPR, AP, TIME, Fortune and EW.
As a professional entertainment freelancer, I have spoken through brands such as Facebook, Star Wars/Lucasfilm, thredUP and the NAACP Image Awards. My work has been featured in Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly (1) (2), Refinery 29, Afropunk (1) (2), Twitter’s Trending Moments, Blavity, StarWars.com and more.
I’m also a portrait photographer and love the red carpet scene: I get to interact with high-profile professionals in Los Angeles, including directors, producers, actors and CEOS! I’m proud to have a blog that has international viewership and I keep my thumb on all things entertainment. View all posts by Joy Ofodu
