I had to take life very seriously. The stakes were too high. One bad decision in high school could alter my life outcomes—and that’s not a dramatization. That was the reality of growing up in poverty. I had to succeed by any means necessary. I had to make it to college. I was crystal clear about my vision. I knew exactly what I wanted to do: become a banker, hustle my way up the corporate ladder, and eventually become the CEO of JP Morgan Chase. Then, two important moments in college changed the trajectory of my 25 year plan—I took a finance class (got a C) and I discovered my youthful spirit. I happily dug a plot and buried that former dream. I was definitely on my way to the sunken place if I stayed on that path. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1464c9fe5be07ce0c1ae68/1627700341015-FZ2TPOL6JL1QPZ3I5X5W/scribble3.png On My Mind - Draw My Career (Kinda) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1464c9fe5be07ce0c1ae68/1627525860464-E9V05CEGB5EDBPHJAQUW/Mich_Photography.jpg On My Mind - Draw My Career (Kinda) - I saved my internship earnings, bought a DSLR camera, bought a domain, and I began blogging in my dorm. I started a video campaign called Dear Black Girl, loved that. I snapped pictures of black women, loved that too. I became part of a blogging tribe, a micro community, of 5 bomb ass Black women, loved that 3000x. My new mission in life was to expand, humanize, and add depth to Black womens’ stories as a producer. I scored an internship at Viacom, in VH1, with two Black senior executives. I could see myself hustling up this corporate ladder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1464c9fe5be07ce0c1ae68/1627700816789-7RACO9QDU4VTJSMHZCHZ/scribble15.png On My Mind - Draw My Career (Kinda) - Make it stand out I had seen the light.
