“I walked away and I said, ‘You know what, I don’t believe a word of what you said even though you’re a qualified journalist,’ I’m going to show you. Then within 12 months, I was in 14 different publications.”

I’m honored to have Adela Hussain on the podcast today to talk to us about breaking through in your market. Adela is a disruptive publicist and is a master at helping you pitch your business to people that don’t know you…yet. Known for her high energy and laser-sharp thinking, Adela creates equity in publicity by removing the gatekeeper and helps build authentic connections between rising, ambitious, liberal entrepreneurs and world-class journalists. Throughout our conversation, Adela shares the challenge she has faced as a woman of color in the British fashion market and how she did a complete 180 in choosing a different target demographic which helped to launch her 5-figure mastermind. A big takeaway she leaves us with is to stop waiting for permission and to back yourself with the faith that the universe will support you. You don’t want to miss this episode!
