Growing up, public relations was something I’d heard all over the media in every entertainment news cycle and celebrity scandal. Whenever a celebrity slipped up in the public eye, commentators would declare how they could’ve “managed their PR better.” I never knew what PR meant or that it was a legitimate career that I could pursue. PR felt unattainable because I had the idea that you had to be a certain type of person to work in that field. In many ways, PR is still exclusive and inaccessible.
