How did I find my super people?
Seven years ago, launching The Pitch Fanzine, I set out on my journey to find super people who would return home with me to Free Jamaica and free the world, creatively.
From mental slavery.
And save the planet.
How did I find my super people?
I networked in the industry with creative people, the advertising creative industry, with the following questions at the back of my mind:
How will people treat me if they think they have something over me?
What if I dress out of fashion?
What happens when I share an idea?
What if I eat quickly during our lunch and your dinners?
What if I speak in different accents?
What if I do something socially “off”?
What if I’m too keen?
What if I talk over you? (In Jamaica we often have multiple conversations during our reasoning sessions. Can you do that?)
And what if I pretend, I don’t know stuff?
How will you treat me?
To ensure I return home with kind, empathic, and creative people, I did my due diligence on everyone I met.
Because there is no way I’m returning with people who will exploit, oppress, and treat the Jamaican people with disrespect.
Our mission is to Free Jamaica and free the world, creatively.
From mental slavery.
And save the planet.
We are on our way.
