Building My Tribe: The Hardest Lesson I Learnt

I've always known the importance of finding your 'people' and sticking with them. Heck, we believed in this so much that we packed up and moved across the world in search of digital fashion people. It seems like common sense to surround ourselves with people who share similar interest, have the same point of view, the same interest and desires.

But after moving first to Berlin, and then to Toronto, in pursuit of our 'tribe', I learnt one important lesson. As much as you need to cultivate a tribe of like minded individuals who are in the same industry as you, there is nothing as authentic as finding and holding unto people who stick by you despite, not because, of your profession.
