A year ago, Summer of 2024, was the first time I stepped foot in the office. I remember the knot in my belly, a delightful cocktail of excitement and dread. I didn’t know how my internship would be, who I would meet, and what I’d learn from it.
You can never predict when you encounter experiences that profoundly change your life. Huffman Creative turned out to be more than a place I interned at in LA that Summer, it became my first full-time job post-grad, the place I’d learn how to grow confident as a creative, as a producer, as a supervisor. Confident as a human who eagerly wants to make things happen.
It was a place where my multidisciplinarity and authenticity was rewarded.
Huffman Creative showed me that the workplace can be healthy, that you’re allowed to show up as you are, and that what matters most is to sincerely contribute and be a teamplayer. There is tender excitement in working alongside people you admire and support. Assisting .sarrels and taught me invaluable life lessons that I will be able to carry over for years to come.
I’m closing a year-long chapter, from interning to being a part of the company. Stepping into this new creative entrepreneurial journey with their support has meant the world. I feel prepared, ready, and mostly filled with indescribable joy. If it hadn’t been for Huffman Creative, I wouldn’t have built up the confidence to take the leap.
What’s next? Focusing on my art full-time, from photo-therapy to emotionally intelligent filmmaking, to letting myself explore more of my writing, dancing, singing, and every day I shall strip away the shame that holds me back to grow closer to what makes me undeniably human. ✨🌷🦋
