Until Hot Literati held the mirror for me
The semester was coming to an end when I interviewed to be an intern at Hot Literati. I called
out of work to meet Hailo at her neighborhood restaurant where the interview became more of a
conversation.
“I’m sorry, was there a question?” I asked at one point
“No, just curious on your thoughts.” Hailo assured
I applied to this internship because I knew I could learn a lot of Hailo and everyone involved with
Hot Literati. I also had taken a long break from writing to put all my attention towards school
and the industry I’m studying. I knew that a summer internship with Hot Literati would be the
most fun I may have in my professional life for a while.
I spent a lot of time trying to get over my fear of sharing my writing that I learned is rooted in my
belief that I have nothing new to provide the world through writing, but I’m slowly getting over
this fear during my time at Hot Literati.
While I enjoy running errands and planning for all things yet to come, my favorite part of this job
has been the people I have met. The team has not only made me feel welcomed but also
inspired me to continue writing and share as I go. I’ve learned that my perspective and stories
are worthy of sharing because of everyone here.
With that being said,
Hello!
I am so excited for everything we have planned and I can’t wait to continue learning from this
community. We’re gonna have so much fun <3
Love,
