Welcome back to the world of JASMINE “JAZZ” WATERS, a nineteen-year-old business major who is the most popular girl on campus and the creator of the Strandz app. Next up is JUANITA “NITA” SANTOS, an eighteen-year-old English major who is the youngest of the Strandz Crew and last but not least is KENDRA CAMPBELL, a nineteen-year-old business major from Chicago who is secretly jealous of Jazz.
In this episode, of course, Kendra and Jazz started out really close but now this business is slowly killing their bond. Would you give up your business partnership to save your friendship?
Episode Excerpt
NITA
We don’t have to do this. Jazz, listening to rumors has never done anybody any good. Kendra, you should have given Jazz more time to prepare for the party. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
KENDRA
Rome wasn’t built in a day? Nita, you sound so crazy!
NITA
Are you listening to me?
KENDRA
Yeah, I only agreed to go to this party because of Jazz. This can be a perfect networking opportunity.
JAZZ
Really?
KENDRA
Yeah.
JAZZ
I’m sorry for freaking out ya’ll.
NITA
See, we have to keep communicating with each other. We’re business partners and we’re friends, getting everything out in the open is very important.
KENDRA
Nita, your after school special lines have got to stop!
NITA
I’m just trying to help! We have to kiss and make up because bad attitudes equals bad business. Now, we have a customer coming in three minutes.
JAZZ
She’s right. Thanks Nita.
(narrator)
If Jazz were a raging bull Nita would be her tranquilizer. You see Nita makes sure that Jazz doesn’t break any windshields or noses in the process of making a name for myself on Herc Malcolm’s campus.
