As aspiring creatives, we strongly believe in making your own opportunities. So many of us come from creative degrees only to enter industries that demand experience before they’ll even give you a chance. It’s an exhausting, endless cycle that leaves so many talented people feeling stuck before they’ve even begun.

Babe, don’t let some male-dominated corporation kill your dreams, do it yourself.

You do not need a 9–5 or a big company behind you to prove your talent. Create it, make it and share it babe. Whatever it is, just begin. Some of the most exciting creative work comes from people who stopped waiting for permission and started building something of their own. Put yourself out there, share your work proudly, and trust that the right people will find it. Your creativity deserves to be seen, babe.
