Jurnee’s New Journey

Every once in a while you come across a spirit that is simply fantastic and well Jurnee Smollett is that. The young actress “announced her intentions of working with Wiley College officials to establish a $2 million scholarship fund in honor of Henrietta Bell Wells, the woman behind her “Great Debaters” character.” With all the troubles of child actors it amazing that she still wants to change the world.

In an emotionally charged address, Ms. Smollett vowed that the scholarship fund would “put young girls through college” and help diminish the negative stereotypes and images of black women as depicted by the media, which she feels are sensationalized.

She also writes about her up coming endeavors on her myspace blog. “This project demands me to explore gifts that lie inside of me, bringing me joy that I rarely share with anyone… Well we are glad you have decided to share it with us.
