Trina's Story
Life
Presently co-owner of a graphic and illustration design company called A.T.B. Graphic Designers and Artist Resources and developed a collaborative company merging art w/poetry and merchandise called Soul Poetry. I also promote a variety of African American visual and spoken word artists. I am also an art instructor for several after-school programs through a local art organization.
School
I have to say that these were some of the best years of my life. Not the most responsible, but fun just the same. Yes, I attended summer school (twice at Tolentine) but it was a blast. I made many friends who I still keep in close contact with. They have been supportive throughout my life.
College
Here is where I met the love of my life. We were not compatible in the beginning, but I guess opposites do attract. Did just as much partying with my roommates. Had a blast.
