Naturalle Drea

Recently I got another rejection email from applying to be apart of a natural hair squad and you know it is okay. It just fuels me to want to work harder. I started following some of the people that made the squad and I love how the brand chose a variety of people with different hair textures, backgrounds, men and women, and different following counts. I used to think it was all about the follower count but it is about how your content looks, the engagement, analytics and more. While I feel that the follower count still plays a role, I see that brands look at so much more and it must be something that I am not doing….still

I started to get in my head again like I usually do but I had to think about this from a different perspective. Being rejected from something is not all that bad. As I stated above, it only fuels you to do better. I feel like at times my content sucks and I actually need to step it up and do better. That all plays into creating the time to really film and edit so your content is more eye catching and attention grabbing. It’s been a struggle with getting this creator schedule together but I’m determined to be more organized with things so I have the time to make things look better.

I’ve learned to be okay with being rejected from things. I took a risk, put myself out there in the first place and that is a huge step. I was scared for years to apply to the Sephora squad and finally did it last year and I’m proud of myself for even applying. There will be more opportunities and I’m thankful for the opportunities I did have previously. I just need to step it up some and do better with the content.
