We were lucky to catch up with Bianca Bee recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Bianca thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Alright, let’s take a stroll on memory lane, back to when you were an apprentice or intern. What’s a memorable story from that time that you can share with us?

It was my third year in college and I had to finally pick my first extensive internship. I of course wanted my internship to be at The Oprah Winfrey Network. I applied and unfortunately didn’t get my dream internship. Of course, I was super upset but my mother kept telling me to follow up with the woman in HR. I followed up with her and a month later an internship opportunity came up in a different department. Of course, I applied and finally got it! In this lesson, I learned that what’s meant to be will happen to you. Do not be so hard on yourself because something always comes up better. I also learned another valuable lesson “always follow up” and keep in touch with people. I will take this experience with me for the rest of my life when it comes to business.

Bianca, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

A lesson that I had to unlearn is that you can’t do everything yourself. When my parents divorced, it was always just me as an only child. I had to learn everything very quickly and I learned how to be highly independent. As an adult, it affected me in the business and entertainment industry. I thought I could do everything by myself, but I realized in life you can’t. You have to ask for help. You have to be open to constructive criticism which I’m still learning.

Have you ever had to pivot?

Pivots are extremely crucial in business. especially entertainment because nothing is ever promised. I actually had to go through a huge pivot this year. I was living in LA and decided to move to New York for a job opportunity for the second time around. I thought this was finally my big break as a film producer but I had to pivot once I found out our show was getting canceled mid-season. I had just picked p my whole life, spend thousands of dollars, and had taken the biggest Life Lesson in my life. I went through a bad depression and felt completely lost and stuck. I am known to pick myself up and I had to pivot by changing industries and trying something new. This pivot helped me grow as a woman internally and externally.
