Be 'Fearlessly You' with Alexa Curtis + Attend the (virtual!) Be Fearless Summit on 9/26!
Hey #Heartbreakers! Happy Fall! Hope you're staying safe and
healthy and easing back into your new routine! It's been a crazy
past 6 months, but I know we can keep pushing through!! You got
this!
I had the chance to do an Instagram LIVE with Alexa Curtis, the
founder and CEO of Life Unfiltered with Alexa and the Be Fearless
Summit, where she shared her tips for being your best you in
front of the camera, acing your on-camera interviews, and owning
your story! This is the perfect interview to watch to help you
rock your Zoom classes and virtual meetings and interviews!
Alexa is definitely the 'Be Fearless' Queen...and this Saturday,
September 26th, Alexa is hosting the virtual 'Be Fearless
Summit,' in partnership with Her Campus at UC Berkeley. RSVP to the Be Fearless Summit HERE!
The Be Fearless Summit is geared toward college-aged students who
are looking to get out of their comfort zone and land their dream
job. Geared towards women and men, students leave with knowledge
from successful individuals who work in a variety of sectors. In
the day and age of social media and blogging, the Be Fearless
Summit helps encourage authenticity, big dreams, and pursuing
something out of the box. (P.S. You don't need to be college-aged
or a college student to attend!).
Born and raised in small town Mansfield, Connecticut, Alexa
Curtis knew she was different. She didn't fit into the "normal
social mold." When she entered middle school, all the bullying
she endured led her to needing an outlet to escape. In 2011, at
just 12 years old, she started a fashion blog; A Life in the
Fashion Lane. It became a platform for her to express her
feelings around everything relating to teens, body image and
mental health.
-
As Curtis evolved as a person, her blog naturally shifted from
fashion to discussing sensitive topics that teens and young
adults face every day. A Life in the Fashion Lane was
changed to Life Unfiltered with Alexa Curtis and became
a lifestyle website and podcast for teens & parents
discussing topics such as social media and mental health. Not
only did Curtis turn her little fashion blog into a full-time
lifestyle platform for teens, through cold-pitching, she managed
to get sponsored by brands like British Airways, T-Mobile, Lands'
End and more.
-
Curtis has spoken at numerous colleges; Northeastern, UConn,
Eastern Connecticut, Rutgers along with high schools - discussing
how to be fearless as well as mental health and social media. In
October 2018, Curtis spoke alongside Amal Clooney and Serena
Williams at Penn Women and in Sept 2018, Curtis added 'host' to
her arsenal as she launched her own radio show on Radio Disney
called "Fearless Every Day" with Alexa Curtis. "Fearless
Every Day" was the first of its kind and broke new ground for the
Radio Disney brand. Alexa interviewed various guests who shared
their journey of overcoming obstacles/challenges and chasing
after their dreams.
-
When Curtis is not hard at work, she meditates frequently and
makes time for hobbies like cooking and exercising to keep
herself grounded. Although she is based in Los Angeles, she
spends part of her time on the east coast. Follow Alexa on
Instagram and TikTok and check out her blog: Life
Unfiltered with Alexa and podcast: This is Life Unfiltered!
