Really Good At Starting Something ft. Weekend Creative

November 01, 2022 02:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MB

We’re kicking off today’s episode with one more Harry Potter cocktail (this one’s a smoky activated charcoal margarita called “Skele-Gro”), and some news… Today’s episode is going to mark the end of an era — AKA, the season finale for a very long season 1! 🥺🥳 We’re so grateful for this podcast, the community, and all the stories this incredible show has taught us… and this ISN’T GOODBYE. We promise. We’ll be updating the podcast format to seasons for 2023 instead of weekly episodes, and we’...

Super Keen To Make This Work ft. Emma Maja

October 25, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 58.3 MB

Meet Emma Maja — our Australian gal (who joined us at a wildly early hour bc of the time difference!), who’s a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, AND dog accessory and apparel designer! Today we’re kicking off with another Harry Potter themed cocktail (AKA, a frozen midori sour with a twist called Polyjuice Potion), and Emma dives on in with us over an espresso martini. We got to hear how Emma’s product-based business has informed her service-based business, all the things she’s learn...

I Need To Hear This Song ft. Jason B. James

October 16, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 45.9 MB

Today, meet Jason B. James —  an incredible food and beverage photographer by day and DJ by night! We kicked off this episode with another Harry Potter-themed cocktail (we named this one Reparo — a gin cranberry sour inspired by Command Z, AKA the Photoshop shortcut that saves our lives). We loved hearing about how Jason transitioned from being a behavioral therapist to a photographer (AND a DJ) — and he told us how he describes his work as a little surreal, almost “like you microdosed” whe...

A Louis Vuitton Box ft. Halves Studio

October 11, 2022 03:00 - 1 hour - 55.1 MB

Who knew Per Our Last Email would be getting into unsolved mystery podcast territory? 👀 Our friends Cierra and James of Halves Studio, an incredible lifestyle + studio photography hybrid based in Brooklyn, NY, joined us on today's episode with a rather mysterious story. I mean... it's not every day you get shipped a 6-7K Louis Vuitton purse... Anywho... we dove right in over a couple of Butterbeer cocktails as Cierra and James shared their journey in creating Halves Studio, what it's like...

Did Something Upload Incorrectly? ft. Four Course Media

October 03, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour - 63.3 MB

In today’s episode, you get to meet the incredible women behind Four Course Media, Rylee and Laura! We’re kicking off this episode during the massive heat wave in San Jose (um, 108 degrees?! Bye), and Rylee & Laura contributed the cocktail for this month’s HARRY POTTER COCKTAIL THEME ✨ We dove in over a fernet and vermouth spritz cocktail named “The Leaky Cauldron” and talked about how they went from meeting in a Slack group for freelance photographers to starting their studio, which offers...

She Was Always... Somewhere ft. Megan Rizzo

September 26, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 44.6 MB

Today we’re talking to the incredible Megan Rizzo, an amazing creative, artist, and illustrator who’s worked with tons of companies (hello… like MTV, Sony, and BET!) — and we’re kicking off with a delightful college-themed cocktail that plays off of Jungle Juice, called “Welcome to the (Freelance) Jungle.” (Megan’s a new mom who’s taking it a little more low-key than we are, so she’s enjoying an apple juice mimosa while we breathe in memories of frat houses. Sigh.) There’s absolutely nothi...

Can You Just Confirm If Those Are Your Photos Or Not?

September 19, 2022 22:00 - 54 minutes - 37.2 MB

And we are BACK with a good ole’ stories episode… arguably our most audacious one ever, so get ready! College cocktail month is still going strong, so we’re sipping on the lovely Adios, Mother****** that we’ve aptly renamed A Magical Freelancer, and kick off telling you guys about the ~audacity~ of a company who wanted to buy our images for $15 each. Love it. But, we digress — because the stories we have this week are INSANE. First, we hear from a listener whose client simply could NOTTTT ...

They Kept Calling ft. Lina Cordero of Onlychild Design

September 12, 2022 22:00 - 1 hour - 51.7 MB

Today’s episode kicks off with Lina Cordero of Onlychild Design, a branding and design studio, and we’re OBSESSED WITH HER… as you’ll be able to tell in this ep. 🤩 We’re continuing our theme of college cocktails this month (much to Elle’s distaste LOL), and drinking jager bombs we’ve called “Bomb Dot Com” — an ode to feeling of having amazing projects you’re proud of — and slightly wishing we were drinking palomas like Lina was. But, we digress. Lina talks about how and why she started Onl...

I Was Trolled ft. Marina Williams

September 07, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 50.6 MB

Imagine getting trolled for a year and receiving not one but SEVERAL inquiries by someone pretending to be Lady Gaga... 😅 Wellllll... you can stop imagining because it *actually* happened. To whom you may ask? None other than the ~fabulous~ Marina Williams. We're over here pinching ourselves because we got to chat with one of the sweetest and most talented creative photographers in the industry. Not only does she create stunning work but she's not afraid to share what she knows via all of ...

The Plumber Did The Work

August 29, 2022 21:00 - 1 hour - 41.9 MB

On this week’s episode, we’re shakin’ it up with a good ole’ discussion topic… CONTRACT CLAUSES. But, before we dive in over key lime martinis (that we’ve named Offlime, because… #catchy), we get really, really real about the burnout and the exhaustion we’ve been feeling this past year — caused by the pandemic and by massive changes in our personal lives. We’re in this phase where we want to really focus on what’s important to us and what’s bringing us the most joy, you know?! We get a lit...

Small Time

August 22, 2022 20:00 - 40 minutes - 28.2 MB

Guys, is there anything better than a stories episode?! NOPE — and get ready for this one!  We’re still going strong with our OOO cocktail theme, and we kicked off this episode with a peach cocktail called “Less Work Mo Beaches” before talking about how we just recently celebrated 2 whole years of Per Our Last Email (!!!) and finished a Photography Bootcamp Adobe livestream that we had the time of our lives on! This stories episode is full of some goodies, starting off with a good ole’ fas...

Elaborately Scammed ft. Lauren Jones

August 17, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 55.1 MB

You know those cool, chic, insightful, and incredibly talented people that you see online and immediately want to be friends with? Yeah... that's Lauren Jones for us! 💫 And she did NOT disappoint in this episode ya'll.  Long story short, we had the best time chatting it up with her about all things creative freelance, Colorado, portrait painting classes, Per Our Last Email's 2nd birthday, and her incredible Adobe Live that was one of our favorite streams we've hosted to date. Lauren also ...

Let's Call Her Bill

August 08, 2022 21:00 - 1 hour - 41.6 MB

We’re back with a STORIES EPISODE! But, tbh, we’re only really halfway back — AKA, Arabela forgot to make the cocktails & we had to pause to, well… make them. If you needed an insight into what our lives are looking like right now, there you go 😂  We’re kicking off with a couple of tinto de veranos, a Spanish wine cocktail that we had literally every single day while filming our @domestika course in Spain. While we start sipping, we catch up by talking about Elle and her husband’s ~faux wh...

The Plot Thickens ft. Giulietta Pinna of Limonata Creative

August 02, 2022 02:00 - 1 hour - 50 MB

This week, we’re stepping into the creative world of Giulietta Pinna of Limonata Creative and Prop Up Shop. We’re chatting over some piña coladas, AKA "I Need A Vacation," a classic recipe that we just had to bring back for this month's OOO theme. Giulietta is an art director, prop and set stylist based in the Baltimore/DC area and to say that she's killing the game is an understatement. Not only is Giulietta an inspiration in the work she creates, but she's been doing some amazing stylist...

Paper Trail ft. Little Drill and Weekend Creative | Part 2

July 30, 2022 23:00 - 1 hour - 75.1 MB

And, we’re BACK with part 2 of our 100th episode, feat. our BFFs at Little Drill! On this episode we’re diving in with James and Shelby’s most horrifying horror story — but we, of course, have to kick off with a random convo about Harry Styles and then how they’ve already been checking on their emails prior to this recording sesh and are already #bitter. Hence, the name of this episode's cocktail (which, reminder, are basil & lemon spritzes named ”Don’t Be Bitter”). James and Shelby’s story ...

Pleasure Based Billing ft. Little Drill and Weekend Creative | Part 1

July 19, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 80.8 MB

Guys… WE MADE IT TO OUR 100TH EPISODE! 🥳🥳🥳 And, to celebrate, we’re bringing back our BFFs, James & Shelby of Little Drill, for a 2-parter episode (because, let’s be honest… if we didn’t split it up, you’d be listening to a 4 hour episode). This time, we’re both sharing an absolutely insane story over… …and the Weekend Creative fam (AKA, us) is up first. We’re diving in over basil & lemon spritzes aptly named ”Don’t Be Bitter,” which will make perfect sense once you hear today’s story.  ...

We Crashed Into His Farm ft. Elise Swopes

July 11, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 53.4 MB

On this week’s episode, meet Elise Swopes — AKA, one of the sweetest, coolest chicks on the internet and an all-around amazing human being and creative. Elise is a whole vibe (she came on wearing a fuzzy orange jacket, orange clips, AND had an orange drink & straw — we love to see it), and we dove in with a pink grapefruit spritz cocktail named “Pink Outside the Box.” We talked a lot about Elise’s super unconventional journey, about graduating college late (she just got her degree, so cool!...

They’re Going To Burn In Hell ft. Josiah Goldsmith

July 04, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour - 65.4 MB

This week on Per Our Last Email we’re hanging out with graphic designer and artist Josiah Goldsmith! We jump right in over a cocktail we group-named “My Money Don’t Jiggle Jiggle, It Aperol” (LOL), and get to talk about all things British accents and South Korea culture with Josiah, who is — you guessed it — a Brit living in SK! We touched on a ton of topics during this episode, which is our very favorite kind of ep. From exploring creativity to the Korean design industry and everything in ...

5 Seconds Away From Making A Voodoo Doll ft. Jenn Shore

June 27, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 69.3 MB

On today’s episode you get to meet Jenn Shore, the badass behind design agency Shore Creative (and our triplet flame — she wore a jumpsuit that said “tipsy” during our interview. Iconic). Over “Grey Rocking” cocktails we dove into learning how to turn failure into success and all about Jenn’s journey as an entrepreneur. We also heard about how she wants to become a “freelance matchmaker” of sorts, which is fab. We also got to listen tons of great stories — with notes! — about client red fl...

Don't You Remember Me?

June 21, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 53.8 MB

You guys know there are few things we love more than a great stories episode, and we’re starting off this week’s with a bang (AKA… stories). We’re diving in over citrusy cocktails named “Can I Pay You With (Sun) Exposure?” and cuddling with Elle’s new dog Cooper, who says hello at the beginning of the episode. (Bringing light to the clients who ask to pay you in exposure, ya know?) In this episode we hear about a freelancer who ended up doing a 12-hour trial shift — ugh, unpaid, of course ...

We Made A Mistake

June 14, 2022 08:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MB

You know it’s going to be a good one when you hear us starting to throw out all of our best chicken expressions and puns. 🐓 Today’s episode is not like any regular episode… She’s a ~cool~ episode. (Mean Girls anyone?) And by cool, we mean… she’s a little different. 👀 We’re veering away from our usual format to bring you a little minisode where we catch up, share our honest thoughts about what it meant for us to take time off, how we’re managing post-break, our love/mostly hate relationshi...

Well… I Have This Other Idea… ft. Suzanne Clements

June 07, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 52.7 MB

On this week’s podcast we’re hanging out with our IG friend turned pod guest, creative photographer and artist Suzanne Clements! We’re talking about alllll the things (and red flags) with grapefruit, cranberry, and vodka cocktails named “What a Breeze,” which is aptly named for the best kind of clients AND Suzanne’s Florida livin’. We dove in talking about Suzanne’s journey to photography and why she loves the kind of work she does before getting to hear about her insanely cool personal pro...

I'm Never Going To See That Money ft. Alex Baxter

May 30, 2022 22:00 - 1 hour - 57.7 MB

And we’re BAAAAAAACK! On this week’s episode, we’re finally welcoming our hilarious Scottish friend Alex Baxter (whose accent we LOVE, as you’ll hear). We’re diving in over tequila guava nectar cocktails we’ve concocted called “You Guava Be Kidding Me,” AKA how we’re all going to respond to anyone who annoys us from now on. Alex has been a longtime IG friend and POLE star (we’ve shared a couple of his stories on the pod already, like a two-word response he got after sending a proposal: Too...

Revisiting Now Rachel, I'm Poor...

May 23, 2022 14:00 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MB

… Honestly, there are no words. Do you all go and search for the weirdest clients ever, just to entice us? Are you forever in the pursuit of a good meme? Actually, don’t answer that. We can’t really “allude” to anything in this episode, without just blatantly calling it out. It’s a stories episode. There are mentions - nay, allegations - of instances of hormonal imbalances, 💩 clipart, “can you turn this word document into a website?” and Michael Scott Paper Company-esque set ups. Told you. L...

Revisiting I Could Have Made This In 5 Min ft. Elliot Ulm

May 16, 2022 14:00 - 2 hours - 92.6 MB

It’s true. @elliotisacoolguy. A very cool guy. A guy who runs a flourishing creative business, but a guy who isn’t very good at freelancing, nonetheless. Yeah, we said it. (only because he did 👀) In fact, Elliot is such a cool guy, he decided to join the coolest podcast on earth (that’s us), to discuss all of the incredibly important things about being a freelancer. You know, things like his love for Caramel Macchiatos, and our dialogue on lattes vs. french press, backyard kangaroos that’ll ...

Revisiting The Spoon Spiel

May 09, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 45.1 MB

Remember that time you paid your rent in popsicle sticks? No? Well, what about spoons? Still no? Weird, because we could’ve SWORN that it was considered socially acceptable to pay for the important things in life with inanimate objects. Just like it’s okay to pay for creative work (i.e., photography) with anything other than money, right? *scream cough scream cough* Yeah so, someone had the audacity to attempt to reason with someone else that paying for work with their spoons was acceptable....

Sue Me For What? ft. Claire Xue of Moodelier

May 02, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 63.6 MB

On this week’s episode, we’re welcoming our longtime friend and fellow creative, Claire Xue of Moodelier! Over mezcal hibiscus sours we’ve named “Taking Care of Business” we dove in quickly to talk about everything from insecurities and old stories to enneagrams and Reddit.  We looooove a tangent! We have been wanting to get Claire onto the podcast for a long time, so it was so freakin’ fun to hear more about her start with Moodelier, the things she’s learned as a creative and a brand owne...

More Like The Rolling Stones

April 25, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 46.1 MB

We are the living embodiment of the “story time! WAKE UP!” TikTok sound this week, because we have some goooood stories to share… including some of our own! We’re pouring up a beer, whiskey, and shandy cocktail called “Feeling Dandy” and diving right on in with two different brands and sites who have hijacked the heck out of our images here recently and then absolutely destroyed them with some truly, truly #terrible Photoshop action. Ah. Nothing like the sweet smell of copyright infringemen...

You Can't Wear Shorts ft. Megan Galante

April 19, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 53.7 MB

This week, we’re so freakin’ honored to have artist Megan Galante on! We’re keeping with our beer month theme, and dove right into this convo alongside a half Guinness, half cider cocktail we coined “The DM Slitherer.” This episode kicks off with a little fangirling, a quick Anna Delvey tangent, and all things wine (we love an off topic moment, ok?!) — before we start digging into Megan’s journey. She’s such a cheerleader for others, which we LOVE, and it was so fun to hear about how she me...

You Should Get Paid For This ft. Keegan Evans

April 11, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 63.5 MB

This week on the pod, we’re diving deep with Keegan Evans, a photo and video content creator and educator (and one of our fav follows, always!). We’re drinking beer cocktails again, a la micheladas we’ve called “Chel-of-a-lada Money,” even though… Arabela isn’t a beer gal and Keegan went rogue with a mojito. The sacrifices we make for the pod. 😅 On this episode, we started with Keegan’s origin story as the founder of a high-protein waffle business, and how it led him to finding his true pa...

Too Expensive

April 04, 2022 18:00 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MB

We’ve been absolutely living for the stories episodes lately, and today we’re giving you another jam- (and humor-) packed ep full of ‘em! After we both give you a WebMD update on our lives, we’re kickin’ off a new month with beer-inspired cocktails. This one is a root beer float situation with chocolate ice cream (!!!), aptly named “Rooting for You.” On this episode, you’ll get to hear a wild medley of freelancer perfect storms, as you do. From a bizarre photo trip featuring kitchen rats an...

Red Flag ft. Alexis Jesup and Max Hoffman of Colors Collective

March 28, 2022 14:00 - 2 hours - 88 MB

This week, we’re sitting down with two of our pals, Alexis and Max of Colors Collective — a next-level creative content studio based out of Brooklyn, NY! We’re sippin’ mocktails turned, well… cocktails this week (sometimes you just gotta add mezcal), and we aptly named them “The Dream Client.” (Psst… you’ll understand why we added mezcal to a ~dream client~ once we get started on their story.) We were squealing-level excited to get Alexis and Max on the pod, and we loved getting to listen ...

An Elderly Man

March 21, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour - 52.7 MB

Guys, let’s be real — the freelancer life is FULLLLLLL of stories. Like, all the time. And then some. And, while some of those stories can make us want to ram our heads into the wall (just being honest), they are pretty dang fun to tell… and we’re excited to be back for another STORIES episode! Today we’re pouring a delicious mocktail that we’ve named “Put in the Work” with alllll the De Soi… so pour yours, and settle on in! On this episode, we’ve got lots of stories — and then some.

March 14, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour - 45.8 MB

This week, meet the incredible Juan Cazares, AKA the face behind @juanskindiary! We’re sippin’ mocktails this week thanks to De Soi — this one is named “A True Champion — and we dove right in with Juan in between sips. We actually found Juan when one of his insanely ~top-tier~ TikToks made its way to IG Reels, and we were so excited to have him on the pod. Plus, he’s literally walking proof that you do *not* have to have crazy prior experience to make big moves. He worked at Home Depot befo...

So She Called Them ft. Freelance Founders

March 07, 2022 21:00 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MB

This week, we’re chatting with Carolyn Bothwell and Kate Cervini of Freelance Founders. Over delish mocktails called Happy Hour (a la our new sponsor De Soi), we jumped straight in. Freelance Founders is a digital members-only community for creative and marketing freelancers from all around the world (AKA, our dreaaaam group, huh?!), and Carolyn actually started it as a pandemic passion project. We talked about how they’ve grown Freelance Founders, and we dove into their current FT jobs, to...

Free T-Shirts

February 28, 2022 16:00 - 46 minutes - 32.3 MB

Let’s be honest… this freelancer life is WEIRD. Like, so weird. But, the weirdness makes it the coolest, too — and it’s why we live for a great Stories ep over here. So, come hang out with us over a mocktail that tastes just like Jamba Juice — “The Sweet Surprise” — and ring out our month of sweet drinks with us as we talk about all the things! We’re hearing stories and diving into everything from a client with the v apt nickname of Big Al and bridezillas X 10 to a thinly veiled waitressing...

February 21, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 68.4 MB

This week, we’re talking with the ultimate QUEEN, Denisse Myrick, who we’ve been waiting to get on the show for forever!

Denisse is a freelance photographer, brand strategist, influencer, and new mom who is, quite, honestly, the ultimate badass. We talked about how she broke into photography in VSCO...

Toilet Paper Tester ft. Susie B. & Co

February 14, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 49.4 MB

This week, we’re jumping headfirst into the freelancing and copywriting world with Susannah Hutcheson of Susie B. & Co. (our copywriter!). We’re enjoying a freakin’ delightful pink strawberry daiquiri called “That Inquiry” (shoutout to @kellyngos on IG for the name), and talking about all the things, as usj. Side note: Sus writes our podcast show notes. Is she writing this episode’s?! You’ll never know 🤪 Susie B. & Co. is a copywriting and content studio specializing in writing words for b...

Your Business' Appetite

February 07, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 66.1 MB

If you’ve ever opened a client email and thought “WTF?!” “the AUDACITY” and “ummm….” all within 1.7 seconds, today’s stories episode is for YOU — because, this time, we asked for stories… and, as usj, you guys did not disappoint. So, pour yourself a cocktail (this ep’s drink is fittingly named Cause Mo’ Problems), and giddy up — because you’re gonna hear about that good ole’ ~freelancer experience~ where your client takes days and weeks to respond, only to *immediately* demand edits; findin...

January 31, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MB

This week, we’re diving into all things creativity and freelancing with Laura Grace & Katie Lynn of Mushaboom Studio! We’re drinking a mocktail called “When Life Gives You Lemons” on this episode, which aligned perfectly with Elle’s car battery dying AND our computers cutting off every 5 dang seconds. Woof. Plus, they cold-pitched us a la an iconic Jim vs. Dwight joke to be on the podcast… offish cementing them in Per Our Last Email history forever. So good. Mushaboom Studio is a twin-ow...

Not For Me ft. Kelly Robyn

January 22, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 47.5 MB

This week, we’re digging into all things creative freelancing with Kelly Robyn of K+C Collective over some deliiiightful Old Fashioneds that we’ve named “Make It Work” in honor of #icon Tim Gunn. Kelly is a serial entrepreneur and does alllll the things in her career, which is so fun — and quite similar to the roster of things we dig into over here at Weekend Creative. In fact, she got into the freelancing life with advice from her mom, who told her to create many paths… and it’s led her do...

A Whole Mess ft. Vortic Studio

January 18, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 73.7 MB

This week, we’re chatting with Zaid & Carolina of Vortic Studio over strong Negronis that we’ve aptly named “Not Your Employee.” …because, like. Can we all agree that we don’t wanna be our clients’ employees? Thx, but no thx. They create vibrant and beautiful work that genuinely, genuinely put a smile on our faces, and they’re basically our freelance soul twins, because they met in college just like we did! In this pod, we got to dive deep into all things partnership + entrepreneurship, an...

In ANY Capacity ft. Jen Thompson of Cashmere & Cocktails

January 10, 2022 22:00 - 1 hour - 59.5 MB

It’s officially 2022, and we’re welcoming in the new year with Jen Thompson of Cashmere & Cocktails over *strong* cocktails, because, well… duh. And, because we love a good connection point, this cocktail is called Long Nights, which is a good reminder that, um, long nights sometimes require a strong pour. No shame. Jen is a longtime listener of the pod (she says she catfished us into having her on, but we just really like her :) ), and is a food photographer and content creator based in N...

I Gave Him A Hug ft. Anna McNaught

December 20, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 70.6 MB

We have a full-circle moment this week to celebrate our 75th episode!

Lindsay Ernst of Ink + Ellie came to hang out with us on this week’s episode of the pod — over a v delicious, pregnancy-friendly cocktail that we named “Give Me a Break,” of course — and it was the most delightful, Dunder Mifflin-esque kinda ep. Lindsay is a visual branding, packaging, and website designer in the Bay Area, and we’re infatuated. See, here’s the thing: you guys KNOW we love The Office, and we actually met Lindsay when Elle hosted her on Adobe Live while she rebranded Serenity...

Steven Lee joined us on this week’s episode — over heavily poured tinto de veranos — and we can’t wait for you to pop this goodness into your earbuds. Steven is a freelance fashion & commercial photographer based in LA, and his colorful style is a freakin’ dream.  (Add on the fact that he’s a longtime listener of Per Our Last Email, and, like… we’re obsessed 🤷‍♀️) He also has an on-point reels game (we die at this one 😂 DO IT. DO IT THEN.), and he’s hilarious. Truly, our cheeks all hurt fr...

You're Mental (Freelancing Females WDC 2021)

November 23, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 42.3 MB

Is it even a Per Our Last Email episode if we don't quote The Office at least once? 😅 Today's episode looks a bit different and that's because we're OOO. That's right. We are OUT OF OFFICE and we don't even feel bad about it. With that being said, we didn't want to leave you high and dry this week so we're sharing our *very special* segment on mission, vision, values, and niche that we presented at the 2021 Freelancing Females Women's Day Conference. 🎤 We hope you enjoy our v *professional* ...

I've Been The Cousin ft. Mango y Maria of Color for Breakfast
