Some of our favorite moments from the interview!
“Don’t be stagnant within the media industry. You always, constantly have to learn new skills and hone in on them because you never know what you might have to do. “
“Growing up I feel like I didn’t see many people who looked like me in the broadcasting industry, but I think that’s changed rapidly now. I’m just really happy to know that I could be someone that maybe other brown girls look up to and be like hey this is someone we can relate to and someone who’s achieving their dreams and maybe something that they can push for as well. A lot of the times when you don’t see someone who looks like you it becomes almost irrelevant to you, you feel removed and almost like this isn’t something you can do.”
