I used to be scared of my own reflection

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,
