Glad you got some work this year. Many of us have been out of work for months. Agencies have been slow to get back because there is no work. In the meantime, enjoy your life.

Hi! I am super new to this app and I see a consistent ask about latina(x) mentors. Has anyone been able to find one and how? I am still looking and frankly could you use all the support.

I am two weeks into a four week booking but they said that usually keep freelancers on for a really long time. Right now I am only working on edits.
