➡️ After getting laid off, it can be really hard to start navigating the jobseeking process. Here’s what I’m doing - I wanted to share it with anyone else who is going through the same thing. Feel free to comment on anything you’d like me to elaborate on. This is a multi part series, and this is just part one, so stay tuned!

It was such an honour to write this piece. I’m so happy it’s FINALLY out. Shout out to @thirth, @kaibraden, @_yumi_nu and @fiffanyluu for being so vulnerable and sharing their stories with me. I very much realize that being a model is a job that comes with so much privilege. But, that sometimes makes us forget that there is real racism, sexism, exploitation etc that exists in our industry. We are workers and deserve the same protections and rights as any other worker. @modelallianceny taught me that. Please read my article to learn more and thank you for all of the support this has already received ♥️

Have you ever heard of this concept? I find it really helpful in almost triaging who I’m having a conversation with and whether it’s going to be productive or not, and a good use of my time. And in case you are dealing with someone that fits into the 123 category, and you need to end the conversation, you can say “ I don’t think we’re going to agree on this and I’m not interested in discussing it further.” Let me know if you end up implementing this and how it goes for you !

Last night I went to an event with @wnba and @youtube by @hxouse in Toronto. The highlight was seeing and hearing from @kianurse - what a powerhouse. I then headed to the @bluejays game where we killed it!!! A successful Thursday night in Toronto 👏🏽👏🏽 #torontolife #cncptstudio

I don’t know why, but it really motivates me to do the mundane things in life when I vlog about it. I love watching other people make these videos because it makes me feel like we’re not alone. And right now since I’m jobseeking a lot of my days, look the same and can feel really repetitive, and boring, and maybe that’s OK, maybe that’s what I needed in this season of my life. But regardless, I just wanted to show a little about my life. Looks like now that I’m looking for another 9–5. Hope it makes you feel a little less alone! 😊
