Five talented students sat in the infamous “hippie circle” at my home and engaged in thoughtful conversations about the transition from studies to successful careers. I had an opportunity to share with them details of my own path and the advice that I received to help guide my career trajectory. At Georgetown, arts and media are not mainstream majors and your place in this industry is not guaranteed. It’s all about networking and consistency. After talking with them, it seemed they were ready for the challenge. So, I called a very special client to give even more insight into the business. Alisha “M’Jestie” Brooks has been my client for over 5 years. With several Billboard-charting tracks, platinum success from penning Rihanna’s first single and international success, she took a few minutes to offer some additional guidance.
