The other part of that was that I actually did try for a while — because I do like insurance and regular paychecks — to get hired at a social media agency or a magazine. Even though I was doing social media and writing for my site, I was basically told I wasn't qualified. I was coming from a case manager position in nonprofits... I didn't come from the right place to get hired.
I had a plus-size specialist. Several years later, I brought on a trans columnist. There was a non-binary columnist. I think a big part of why people see TLA as a resource is because of the work from those other writers, because they have been able to deliver content and advice and information based on their expertise in the industry that I wouldn't have access to, that I wouldn't know about.
I've been fortunate in that my readers have pushed me to do more and to do better and have called me out in places where they think I've been lagging. It's very, very difficult to have people call you out and let you know what you could be doing better.
I felt like Kaitlin really believed in me and in what I was doing. She had chosen me because of my perspective and my vision. Having that endorsement, having someone have that faith in me, realizing I have something to say and that I wanted to take on my knowledge and my experience and my mission and put that into a book — and also that I didn't think anyone else was going to write a better book than me...
I've always enjoyed research. I don't get to do as much research now, which makes me sad. The editing and running of the site takes so much time now. I really would like to get back to writing and research. I would like to write a second book. I'd like to do more writing in general. That's become more difficult with just running a full-fledged business, but that makes me most excited.I want people to feel like there's something on TLA for them.
I want to do more editorials. That's something I've become more interested in is: What are the stories we can tell through intimate apparel? How do they move beyond the story of sexy? Obviously, my budget is somewhat limited, but as always, within the confines of what I have, I'm trying to tell different stories with intimate apparel.
