My name is Ze’Nylah Mitchell and today I had the opportunity to interview a female at my school named Jakyra Murray. Jakyra Murray is a 15 year old girl that goes to Nettleton Junior Highschool who is on the cheerleading team. She is a very thoughtful and careful person and is always laughing about something.



“People were so judgemental and mean and hateful towards me… now I can’t trust everybody and now know everybody isn’t my friend and now I know everybody isn’t who they say they are.”
