Story time: Episode 8 of The Late Bloomer podcast - I’m introducing y’all to a true New York native. When I asked “If you could live anywhere, where would you want to live?” Her response was “Staten Island” …. Only a true New Yorker would just give me another part of New York to live in.

Her name is Jessica, but you can call her “Jai.” @casa.de.florez is “an awkward black girl from East NY,” a photographer and a creative director who has been taking photos since as far as she can remember. This Story Time episode gives you a quick glimpse in the life of a creative, and the transition from doing what she loves part-time, to full time.
