In this interview, we take a look at the nascent career of Emerson Pereira, who’s path to becoming a model and content creator was marked by hard work and perseverance. While many people would love to be in either field, Emerson makes it clear that there is a steep mountain to climb and obstacles to overcome before one can catch their big break.
Being born in Guinea-Bissau, he would live an immigrant’s life in Portugal and eventually in England—and while he was interested in modeling, the industry’s standards hindered him at first. Eventually, however, Emerson describes some advice that helped him finally achieve his dreams. There is much to offer in this interview for those who would seek similar careers.
