Name: Manicia Reneus
Major: Journalism
Position: Staff Writer
What made you want to write for Her Campus?
I just love the fact that I can write about topics that I can relate to. Her Campus is a great outlet for women to come together and do something positive and we need more of that.
When I went to the launch party for Her Campus I saw nothing but that positive girl power energy and knew I wanted to be a part of it.
Have you writen anywhere else before?
Currently, I am just writing for The Observer, B.C. newspaper.
Do you have a beat? A topic you like to write about?
I like to write human interest stories because those stories help me to understand and learn about other people culture. I don’t have one particular topic that I like to write right now but some of my favorite articles to write so far are articles that I learned things from. In the last issue of the observer, I wrote about an African Descent luncheon and learned so many things about the African culture.
I learned that the first paper in Africa was called papyrus.
What do you think about Her Campus?
I am so happy that Her Campus is at North Campus, I don’t think that there is any organization like it on campus. It’s a great platform for women of different background to come together and find things in common with each other.
What are some hobbies and interests you have?
I’m a laid back person. I like to go to the movies. I just seen Get Out and I was trying to contain myself in the theatre because I’m the type of person that want to talk back to the screen. I also like to go out to eat. One of my favorite places is the Cheesecake factory. The cheesecakes are so good. I enjoy listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos.
What are your plans past-B.C.?
After B.C., I want to go to U.F and became a Reporter. One day, I will like to write and produce a show. I have so many things that I want to learn in this industry. I am so excited about the future and doing something that I love.
