Summer of 2010 I went to a natural hair meet up alone and immediately felt very lonely and intimidated. I felt this way because all of the girls seemed to have know each other from past events and social media. I this time I was barely on Facebook and what does a girl from CT have to say to these New Yorkers and women who have already started there careers? So trying to connect with these women was weird and awkward. I went there there felling very optimistic and left very unaccomplished. This happened all while my trying to find a job that was VERY hard to find. Fast forward to 2012, I applied and started community college with a Business Admin and left with Multimedia Design & Programming degree because I knew I was OBSESSED with the internet.
Now when I go to these meet up and love to here other peoples stories and why and how they got there. I no longer feel like the little girl from CT because I discovered most of them started just like me.
