Interview with a Nakeema Senior

I am interviewing Nakeema about her documentary of her Health Class and how she has been conducting her research over the past few weeks.
After talking to Nakeema and viewing her blog I have gathered that her project is more about peer pressure than anything. She has taken an original approach to the idea of peer pressure; looking at it in the classroom rather than out in a more casual setting. I can't wait until she's finished so I can view her completed works. With a little more direction and explanation she could really bring her documentary
