Welcome to Season 2, Episode 1 of my blog Behind the Lenz. The decision to pack up my Cedar Rapids, Iowa apartment, selling nearly all of it's contents and move to the city that never sleeps was no easy task, but it had to be done. Something clicked, turning 30 brought about so many changes and emotions that I wasn't sure on how to handle them. It's been a long road getting to this point. There are plenty of things that I still want to do in this life and could I have done them from the comforts of my home in Iowa, sure, but what I needed was push to make it happen and throughout the years as long as I can remember I have been my best self when the pressure is on and the stakes are high. I needed this move to get to a new point in my life and in my career.
I've been here in NYC for almost a month now and just today I started doing some freelance work. Working with this modeling agency in the position that I'm in really allows me the opportunity to revisit my love for fashion but it also lets me focus on one of my other passions and that's interviewing people. I get to write and interview models, casting directors, and a host of other people in video form. It keeps my journalism skills going. I like that! More importantly, I work very few hours and because of that I can do more work, like take on additional projects. I laughed with my sister on the phone just yesterday when I jokingly told her I'm going to become the black version of Ryan Seacrest. I want to eventually become a media giant and I know it can happen. Taking this job with the modeling agency is just the start but soon I'll be reporting from red carpets and hosting TV shows. My friends all I can say is stay tuned for Kelsey Minor because he's on the way to the top. Until next time.
