034: DEEP DIVE W/ MARIA - Her Immigration Story, Content Creation, and Self-Development // Maria José (aglimpseofmaria)
Manage episode 308193373 series 3011777
In this episode I had the opportunity of sitting down with the beautiful Maria José from aglimpseofmaria.
Maria started her Instagram page over 3 years ago and organically grew her following to all that it is today. With over 8,500 followers and counting, through her platform Maria has had the opportunity to speak out about BLM, raise money for those in need during COVID-19, attend Fashion Week, and partner with some of the biggest brands including Dyson, TD Bank, and Endy Mattresses (only to name a few).
With such success under her belt, Maria is still a down to earth gal with such tranquil energy about her.
During our conversation we chatted about:
- Maria’s immigration journey
- how living in many different countries as a child has helped shape her into the woman she is today
- her journey into content creation
- the message she strives to promote through her platform
- her proudest accomplishments she has achieved with her platform so far
- where she gains her inspiration from
- I asked Maria what people might be surprised by / not know about in regards to the content creation scene
- Maria breaks down what it is like to work with brands (pitching ideas, being taken advantage of, if it works with your brand, etc.)
- what her journey into self-developement looked like
- habits and routines she does that help her to feel in alignment with who she is
Plus so much more!
