From Passion to Profession

GOSO recently hosted a two-day Fashion & Entertainment Career Event designed to show participants the many paths their passions can lead to. The event focused on growing into leadership roles, building creative careers, and seeing how doing what you love can truly be a profession.

Across two days of engaging panels and discussions, participants heard directly from industry professionals representing the worlds of fashion, entertainment, and media. Panelists shared personal stories, lessons learned, and advice on navigating their industries, offering a powerful reminder that success looks different for everyone, but passion and persistence are always key.

We were honored to welcome an inspiring lineup of speakers, including Andrew Bones and Andrew Johnson from Disney (both proud GOSO Action Board members), author Amber Bookman, Shy Ferguson of Warner Music, and celebrity stylist Mike B.

A heartfelt thank-you to our incredible panelists for sharing your time, experience, and encouragement with our participants. You reminded them that their dreams are within reach!
