Build and Bloom Photography Podcast With Jessica Whitaker
·
In this episode of the Build and Bloom photography podcast, I (@JessicaWhitaker) am opening up on a personal level that I've never shared online before. I am sharing about how I got my first job in the fashion industry at 15 years old & how I kept it until I was 22 years old. With that, I'm sharing a little about how I grew up very poor and why I had to start working very young. I'll also go over a handful of the other jobs I held while working in fashion & going to college. I want to offer this as a refreshing and realistic perspective about working and how to get creative with your resources and make opportunities for yourself happen.
