Welcome to the premiere episode of Signed: Conversations with Digital Mavericks!
Drew Afualo joins host Anita Sharma to discuss her journey from getting let go at the NFL to building 8+ million TikTok followers, hosting two hit podcasts ("The Comment Section" and "Two Idiot Girls"), and writing her book "Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve."
We talk about the viral "Red Flags in Men" video that started it all, why agencies said she was "too contentious" to be marketable, her strategy for dealing with trolls, and how she makes celebrities fall in love with her on red carpets (hint: vodka and snacks).
Drew's story proves that being unapologetically yourself always wins.
