Synopsis:

Chantel Mitchell (Ariyan Johnson), a hip, articulate, black high-school girl in Brooklyn, is determined not to become 'just another girl on the IRT' (the IRT is one of NYC's subway lines). She dreams of medical school, a family, and an escape from the generational poverty and street-corner life her friends seem to have accepted as their lot. But personal and sexual challenges confront Chantel on her way to fulfilling these dreams.

Chantel Mitchell (Ariyan A. Johnson) is an African-American, 17-year-old high school junior who lives in Brooklyn, New York. Chantel is very smart and articulate, although her sharp tongue, abundant ego, and occasional naivete undermine her efforts. Her ultimate dream is to leave her poor neighborhood, go to college, and eventually become a doctor.

Chantel (Ariyan Johnson) is 17 and all attitude. A homegirl who lives with her parents and two younger brothers in a Brooklyn high-rise, she flaunts her sass. She loves the idea that she can dis her teachers and still get the highest grades in her class. She'll need them: Her dream is to go to med school.
