So, Today I Learned...

“I would say that having the mindset of ‘it’s your life so you choose how to live it’, that might sound cheesy but I think that it’s a good thing and if it is going to make you happy you should go for it.”

Today I sit down with Sabrina Marley who is currently working on her own career in the fashion industry. We chat about her experiences in school at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and how that set up the path for post-grad. She has always been interested in fashion and always wanted to have her own clothing line. We also chat about her side projects, like her own podcast and starting the process of her own fashion line. Sabrina also chats about the importance of making the most out of the environment she’s in and how that has affected her life.

“I love doing this stuff, it makes me genuinely so happy to post about this and meeting people who have similar views to me and just talk about all of this fun stuff and ways we can advocate about what we are passionate about.

“If you don’t agree with an idea, ask about it. It’s so great to be able to learn from others and different perspectives and be open to their ideas because they might start something for you to think of something else. It’s so great to learn from others and collaborate with other people.”

Today is another solo episode! Yesterday was my 21st birthday, so today I am telling you 21 things I learned before turning 21 years old! Sit back, relax and enjoy a little chat between you and me :)

“Once I started doing skincare I was like ‘okay this is actually a lot of fun, this is my passion’. That’s where the passion more so came into play, more so than strategy or conversation around specifically trying to fill a void and growth and stuff like that. Cause that won’t get you through the years worth of videos with ten, twenty views each. It’s the passion and the drive and the interest that fuels that.”

Today I sit down and chat with Hyram Yarbro, who is a skincare content creator on YouTube. We chat all about his experiences being on YouTube, the motivation for starting his channel and the importance of skincare. Hyram is very passionate about what he does and has been able to have the amazing opportunity to help people take care of their skin. He tries to bridge the gap from skincare to the beginners who may not know where to begin researching. Being able to chat with Hyram was an incredible milestone for my podcast and I am so grateful for this opportunity!

“I think that’s just the way it comes off with editing...it’s really easy to get wrapped up in the aesthetics of someone’s video...it’s so easy to get into this little bubble of their world...it’s just the way that things look when they’re chopped up edited together with lo-fi hip hop music in the background. It’s just gonna look a little better than it is.”

Today I sit down with Amy Rauch, who is currently a graphic designer, as well as a content creator on YouTube. She works for a real estate company in Washington, D.C. and her day to day tasks vary from filming, marketing to designing.

“I realized that adding that small word, “just”, is so harmful to your mental and emotional wellbeing. And it was demeaning to myself and demeaning to other people that were doing the same thing. I wrapped up my identity in my roles and responsibilities as opposed to who I am to the core...you’re not just anything...you’re making a difference...you are influencing the people around you in one way shape or form.”

“My favorite part is when I get a good character and as they’re talking I can hear what I’m gonna use in the story, which soundbites I’m gonna use, and matching those soundbites with visuals while I’m there...and then when I finish a story and I feel like I did the character justice and I did the story justice.”
