Q&A with Chiney K Pop Girl
Born in Kingston, Collins went to Wolmer’s Girls’ School until age 15, when she migrated to New Jersey.

Her passion and desire was to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, but she found the application process for jobs frustrating and thus created a space where she could display all her interests. On My Mind was one of her first series and started as a fun way for her to capture public views and conduct interviews with celebrities and more. “I shoot it, edit, and direct,” she told The Gleaner. And while the pandemic may have slowed down production, the ambitious 28-year-old has seized the opportunity to invest her time in content creation on Instagram and TikTok, where she has more than 250,000 followers combined. -- Jamaica Gleaner
