Listen To Yourself
There's always a voice inside your head, and a lot of people second guess it. It can tell me very crazy things, and I will walk willingly into its arms.
About Atoosa
- Always knew exactly what she wanted to do, always interested in magazines.
- Says although you might think you have no idea what you want to do with your life, "you sort of know."
- Never felt like the smartest girl in school; sat in classrooms and thought about other things, worked on forming her own opinions.
- Interned at a fashion magazine and a health magazine-knew she loved fashion but wanted to cast a wide net.
- Even at her interview with the president of Hearst Magazines, she wore unique clothing, "didn't even think to not be [herself]."
- Says sometimes instead of hitting on the perfect career, you take your interests step by step, project by project-that becomes your life's work.
- How do you keep your passion from consuming you? "You don't...I work constantly."
- Says, "don't think people who are successful 'have it all together.' Really, I'm just some girl."
