It's actually surreal to see my face in the featured jpeg of a @nytimes article -- to have a whole article about my company in THE NEW YORK TIMES as a nineteen-year-old college student start-up founder -- to be able to get to do the work that I do.

What a time to be alive.
I'm so infinitely grateful to @Rainesford/ @NYTStyles for covering our story, to my INCREDIBLE team that gives me life every damn day, to my generation for continuously doing the damn thing, and to literally every person who has inspired/supported/challenged me. We out here.
I founded @JUVConsulting when I was 17 because I realized how often people talk about young people but don't talk to us, so I decided to change that. Since then, we've grown to a network of hundreds of students working directly with clients as large as Fortune 500 companies.
This past summer, a team of eight of us (all teens) lived/worked together to build out @JUVConsulting further -- to hustle for Generation Z's seat at every damn table -- to represent as many lived experiences as possible -- to prove exactly what young ppl can do/are capable of.
We literally learn in like first grade that a primary source is the best source, so if you want to understand Generation Z -- talk to us.

This shouldn't be a radical/novel concept.

We, teens, exist in a three dimensional world.
I believe fundamentally in the endless capacity of my generation, in @JUVConsulting's ability to completely reshape how society views/markets to young people, and in the promise of tomorrow.

We are the generation of we, the generation that thinks in terms of us. I believe in us.
Please peep the article -- to see our team in action in our summer loft (that's v aesthetically ~Gen Z~).

If you're moved by the story, share it.
If you have questions about young people, hit us up.
If you're a young person, apply to get paid to talk about finsta culture.
We literally get paid by companies to talk about finstas -- and pay teens to talk about finstas.

This is 2018, so if you're just waking up to the power of young people -- you're late.

Generation Z is the generation of memes and movements. Don't sleep on us, not today or ever.
