Around a fifth of 13-17 year olds have absolutely no idea what they want to do after leaving school, with some having no access at all to career counselling or job-education. If someone told me at 16 that in a few years I'd be running my own business through the form of a little fashion blog, I probably would have laughed in their face. This is why I decided to team up with Microsoft Surface and for their Do Anything campaign to inspire teenagers with a diverse range of career options they have available to them.
Above are some behind the scenes shots from my awesome day of filming with the Surface team along with a handful of other influencers. I play the role of the presenter in the film (what do you think of my sophisticated look?!) whilst Millie from It's a LDN Thing was my camera woman! We spent the day filming at a football stadium and after initially being a bit nervous I honestly had so much fun on set. From being beautified by their lovely team to actually playing my role in the film it was great, perhaps I'll go into presenting after all!
The goal of this campaign is really to inspire people finishing school and help them understand what opportunities are out there and show them they can #DoAnything. I know I could have done with some more idea and advice when I left school, so I'm sure you'll agree this is a brilliant project. You can see my role in the video here, along with all the other brilliant influencers, who have recently embarked on a new careers that weren't available ten or even five years ago. I hope you enjoy the film as much as I enjoyed being a part of it.
