Trent is an alum of the 4A’s Multicultural Advertising Intern Program (MAIP), and he was also named to the inaugural class of the American Advertising Federation’s Top 25 Most Promising Multicultural Students, which led to his job at TRG immediately after graduation.

Trent recently published a novel called Exactly How It’s `Posed to Be which chronicles the decisions of three young men at fictional HBCU (Winton College) around dating, women and sex…and the consequences of these decisions. (Oooo!)
