Hi, I’m Auriel P. Scott, an independent journalist with a concentration in film, entertainment and politics. I’m currently a New Media Journalism graduate student at Full Sail University but I stem from an extensive background in marketing and media communications in the beauty, medical, goverment and entertainment industries. This background is what led me to journalism as I realized the importance of understanding the media around us as foreground for deeper conversations and human connection.
In my spare time, she’s an advent reader, recipe enthusiast, and tra-vactioner (a nice mix between traveler and vacationer) – as you can see, I’m all about balance baby! I’d love to say I read all books but I’m a romance girl through and through, with an occasional hint of mystery, self-help and autobiographies.
I use to say my biggest goal in life was to see the world before 30, ha – talk about overachiever but as I turned the cusp of 29, I realized it was time to take in as much of the world as I can, for as long as I possibly could. In my work in human communication and media studies, I’ve come to realize time is such a social construct that is often explored in media around us and it’s through that realization Leather Digest was birthed.
My hope for this space is to serve as rooted plaform for community engagement, expert testimony and dissection leading to real-world impact. May this platform inspire you to chase your dreams and “go for it”, whatever that means to you.
After all, we are all walking around in this magic fishbowl we call life, together.
