Күн бұрынIf Charles King’s life were a movie script, no studio would buy it. A young Black man packs up his belongings in a U-Haul, moves to Los Angeles sight unseen with nothing more than a list of names and the drive to become a power player in the entertainment industry.

How I Went From The Mailroom To Making $100 Million Deals In Hollywood

This is someone who didn’t think he was to good to work in a mailroom despite having a degree and made the most out of his time and set goals for himself. He didn’t let his color or mindset stop him from doing what he had to do. Perspective !
