"It's very important for me to make sure that diverse voices feel that they are getting actionable insights [into the creative industry], because I realize that to some degree, the way in which we have to navigate the workforce might be slightly different," Jackson tells Her Campus in an exclusive interview.
"After graduating from Howard University with a double major in English and Greek, she decided to pursue another form of storytelling as a journalist. However, in her early career days, Jackson was met with a jarring realization: many people saw her race and socioeconomic background before they recognized her talent."
"Ten years later, that same motivator led Jackson to start up Misfit Creative Media, a company focused on highlighting Black and Brown voices within the creative industry."
"Even outside of her own ventures, Jackson has sought out ways to incorporate her mission as a guide for marginalized creatives, such as with her job as LinkedIn's full-time Community Manager."
