Brenda Julia didn't walk into PR through the front door. She came through the side — writing for LinkUpTV, supporting artists, and figuring out what PR actually meant by doing it before she even had the title.

In this episode, Brenda shares the real story behind building a career from scratch, launching her own agency MYBLAQBOOK, and creating Girls in Power — a platform dedicated to empowering women in creative industries.

We get into imposter syndrome, the fear of going it alone, and why humble learning will take you further than any qualification. We also talk money — handling payments, setting boundaries, navigating contracts — and why those conversations get easier the more you have them.

Whether you're just starting out in PR, thinking about launching your own agency, or coming back to your career after a gap — this one's got something for you.
