Jacqueline Leo

Part of what networking is is actually really just sharing your most vulnerable, biggest dream with everybody you can because you don't know who's going to have an opportunity or a connection that will be helpful to you.

And so there was this classmate of mine from law school, and he had an aunt who— whose house in the Hamptons was next door to a woman named Jackie Leo.

And Jackie was the editor-in-chief of a magazine called Family Circle.

And she was friends with the number two editor at Essence, who was Stephanie Stokes Oliver.
