**THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED VIRTUALLY OVER ZOOM - AUDIO QUALITY IS AFFECTED (SORRY!) **
Today's episode is with guest Monet Aluko!
She graduated with a degree in sociology and criminology in 2015 and shortly after made her big move to New York where she worked for a private equity firm.
Upon returning to the UK she found herself in between temp jobs trying to figure out her next career move. By pure coincidence her friend, who was working for a Fashion PR agency, was looking for someone to help out for a press day. Monet offered her services and the rest was history.
Since then, she’s worked in a variety of roles from showroom manager to senior account exec working with international clients on high profile shows including Paris fashion week.
In this episode we discuss the importance of perseverance and pursuing careers that truly excite and motivate you instead of settling. Monet talks about the issues with comparison, not measuring your success by other people's standards and having patience with the process.
We also discuss how (THE OG reality TV show) 'The Hills' was a huge inspiration for her to get into Fashion PR (forever grateful to you Lauren Conrad) and how the fashion industry is evolving to become more inclusive and sustainable, especially for the plus size community.
Hope you enjoooooy!
