I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Nothing is ever a smooth road, I came across multiple crossroads when I wasn’t selling yet I stayed consistent with content posting or having trouble finding a good creative individual to help my clothing brand designs come to life. But one thing for sure and two things for certain I’m NO QUITTER

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Networking came kind of easy to me seeing I started off sub-promoting in 2007 era when club Miami was open I was living on Bankhead then, but the advice I will give anyone especially our youth is find a person or persons who are doing exactly what you want and on the spectrum you see yourself at. Reach out to them shoot a dm send an email ask if their looking for intern or maybe you can shadow them. When it comes to networking in Atlanta yes it’s all about who you know but it’s also getting out there in the field and putting your name out there your brand out there.
