I have a hard time remerging important dates. It’s probably the ADHD, but if it’s not my birthday, I swear I will forget - so if I missed your bday this year, it’s not because I don’t love you… So, when Instagram reminded me that January 29th was my official last day at my full-time job, I couldn’t believe it.
It’s been one year as a full-time content creator, and I can say, without a doubt, this year has been the most challenging ever. Some days I woke up unsure if I would be able to continue due to lack of funds, and other days my apartment was getting featured on Never Too Small, and THE JASON REYNOLDS was commenting on my Instagram. Yes, I’m fangirling hard!
Either way, this has been the most exciting year of my life, and I hope to continue bringing realistic design & life advice to you all! It is only because of you that I get to live my dream!
With that, I wanted to share a few things that have helped me grow as a creator.
xoxo,
Imani
