Marcus Graham Project reposted this
Full-circle moments don’t happen every day… but this one felt special. Three-weeks ago, I had the honor of hosting the Marcus Graham Project Summer 2025 Cohort (The Corner Store Agency) at Red Bull’s LA office. Just a little over two years ago, I was on the other side of this experience as a cohort member myself.... walking into Red Bull with my cohort for the first time with big dreams, a deck on my laptop, and the hope of one day working in spaces like this. Fast forward to now: I’m not only working here—I’m leading the visit I once participated in. 🥹 The day was filled with purpose: - A creative strategy workshop led by yours truly - A Q&A panel with incredible Red Bull team members - thank you Nadia Bell, Jackie Do, Folu Babatola, Kaleb Law & Z'Kijah F. - Lunch + intentional networking Watching this group ask thoughtful questions, take notes, and lean into their creative gifts reminded me exactly why I do what I do. Representation, access, and community matter—and I’m grateful to help make space for all three. Thank you to the MGP team, Imani Briscoe, Kendra Croft & Clayton Pasley Jr. for the continued trust, and to Red Bull for letting me pour back into the program that poured so much into me. I'll always stress how critical it is to pour into the next generation of diverse creatives and marketers. Enjoy your last week here The Corner Store Agency - I hope to see you ALL soon!! 🧡 With love always, -Julia
