I had been patiently waiting for the response for a company I was interested in and applied through LinkedIn and Parker Dewey micro internships. Someone had recommended me for the friend of a friend who was starting a small hair care line and desperately want to increase her engagement on social media. A friend spoke highly of me and told her I create good social media content, especially for natural hair content. I reached out to this woman and eventually met her in person we began emailing back and forth continuously I pitched some of my idea for content she could create based on her brand. She was very interested in my thought process and pitches. She asked me about my knowledge of social media I explained I’m self-taught and have a college degree in Communication Design. I’m currently advancing my skill set by getting certifications for the analytic aspect of credentials.

I kept my options open I applied for several Micro Internships which included different job descriptions. One of the internships possibly wanted help with the social media accounts, they were a streetwear brand that gave their customers shoppable content from music artist videos. In other words, they created a connection between visual music videos and access to knowledge of where to shop items from music videos. The other internship I applied for was a beauty brand that specifically focused on protecting woman’s hair in the shower. I was very interested in this brand because I’m heavily consumed by hair products and protections for hair follicles.  Lastly, I applied to several small agencies some nonprofit and the rest were not. This definitely was a learning experience especially on my venture to pivot into my career job or what I like to refer to as my girl job
