About me

I went from an Instagram poetry account to working for a NYT bestselling author.

In three years.

This is how I did it 👇

22:

-My final year of university started an online campaign against sexual harassment with a friend on Instagram
-Created an Instagram poetry page based on albums I liked which got noticed by some of my favorite artists
-Got a job as a business analyst through my mentor Richella & got to manage the Sustainable Recruitment Alliance LinkedIn as part of my work

23:

-Started doing social media for Voice ESEA before becoming Director
-Decided I wanted to figure out how to go viral on Tik Tok
Spoke at People Like Us because of Voice ESEA
-Left my job as a business analyst to go work as a behavioural design consultant after meeting the CEO Denise in yoga

24:

-Went viral on Tik Tok several times growing my account from 123 followers to 17k+ followers in 3 months
-One of the videos that went viral was on a study done by Dan Ariely, I went off the internet because one of the videos led to hate I wasn’t ready to handle
-Reached out to Dan Ariely on Email
-Quit my job as a behavioural design consultant in August to do content creation full time
-Hosted a sponsored podcast where I interviewed nationally recognized athletes, faith leaders, comedians + more from diverse backgrounds thanks to People Like Us

25:

-Worked on growing my skills to develop more confidence through evidence -and thicker skin by doing A LOT of it free work
-Started my own podcast
-Asked Dan Ariely to be on my podcast (which he somehow said yes to?)
-Did 100 minutes of content for 100 days, didn’t miss a day
-Started Video editing
-Got three other successful people on my podcast
-Edited 47 videos in two days for Dan with skills I'd learned from the content challenge I did
-Started working for Dan Ariely
-Started helping more people, getting more leads and paid work

And I'm only 1/2 way through this year.

What I learned:

-Hard work compounds
-Other people are everything when it comes to success
-I've never regretted paying it back/forward/ sideways

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world, but there are a million failures I had not on this list and a bunch of messages that never got responded to. I don’t remember most of them and neither will anyone else.

Shoot your shot.

I'm rooting for you, you've got this.
