LEAD ROLE

Alisha Jackson has always been a creative and storyteller at heart ever since she was a young girl. However now that she is 18, she has decided that she wants to pursue a degree in no other than law. Why you may ask. This career choice has a lot to do with her background. Growing up, it was just her and her mom who happens to be a lot younger than most moms. Her father was never in the picture. As a result of being raised by a single teen mom, she didn't grow up with a lot in terms or money and luxury, but she did grow up with a lot of love. 

After being denied the chance to attend her dream college due to financial struggles, she has no choice but to attend the one school that offered her a full ride scholarship: Stonycreek University. This ruins all of her plans of being able to go to school with her childhood best friend turned boyfriend, Jabari. Now out on her own as an official adult, she is forced to put herself out there and meet new people as well as learn how to navigate being a young Black woman in a predominantly white and wealthy space.

Many would describe Alisha as a go-getter but at the same time she has an issue with advocating for herself. In addition to that, she is driven, passive, indecisive, smart, naive, careful, shy, and sometimes a people pleaser.
