Hi I’m Brooke

How My Blogging Journey Began

After graduating from high school in 2009, I felt indecisive about my future, a feeling that resonates with anyone facing tough choices.

I knew college wasn’t for me, but I also worried about how my decision would affect my mom’s feelings.

So, as you can imagine, I felt stuck. I had to choose between disappointing my mom and doing what was best for me.

Despite my doubts, I still tried to attend college. During my time at Community College of Philadelphia, I was not taking my education seriously.

And so, ultimately, after about a year and a half of going back and forth, I called it quits. After calling it quits, I worked a few retail jobs over the next couple of years.

While working in retail, I started thinking about my writing skills and how, in high school, I would help my classmates with their writing assignments.

And from there, I took a chance and browsed Craigslist for writing gigs. Within a few months of looking, I found some gigs and started writing for various magazines and online publications.

After a few years of writing for magazines and online publications, my friend suggested I start a blog. At first I wondered, ‘Why would I start a blog?’ but decided to try it because I had nothing to lose.

Fast forward 10+ years, and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made!

My Content Creator Journey

The first time I created content was back when I had my YouTube channel. During my late teens and 20s, I made vlogs and lifestyle content. But after doing it for a few years, I ended up in podcasting.

And fast forward to 2023, when I started making content on Instagram. That consisted of me sharing my life moments and good eats in Philly. Even though I was creating content, I was not very consistent.
