Elaine Welteroth on taking detours towards your dream

Elaine Welteroth knew she was destined to work in the magazine industry. After cold-calling editors for months, she got her big break working as an assistant on an Ebony Magazine cover shoot with Serena Williams—a rare opportunity that would eventually lead to her becoming the Editor-in-Chief at Teen Vogue (not to mention, only the second Black EIC in the entire company's history). Although Elaine was the guiding hand behind Teen Vogue's transformation from a fashion magazine to a cultural touchstone in the political sphere, she eventually broke away to ultimately grow in new and unexpected ways. Tune in to this week's conversation to hear more from Elaine on how venturing into the unknown led her to exactly where she wanted to be (even if she didn't know it in the moment).
