Over the past few years, I've noticed a trend.
In an industry that practically requires you to start from the very bottom to work your way up the ladder, we tend to meet a lot of interns around the Fashion world.
When I meet interns, I don't always know right away that they are even interns and not full-time employees (which is awesome when you can't smell the fear, right?). However, about 95% of the time, when I ask an intern what her (or his!) role is, she (or he!) answers, "Oh, I'm just an intern."
To which I can't help but jump immediately on and say, "Never...call yourself just an anything."
I think it's a good thing to remember for ourselves, to never belittle our positions. Whether we are interns, part-timers, full-timers, stay-at-home-moms - those are some daggon big high heels (or ballet flats or whatever) to fill, and I guarantee you that no one would fill yours as well as you do.

Great advice Lacy! Valuing oneself is definitely one of the most powerful things a person can do.
I love this post!! Definitely a perspective we all need to remember!
Wonderful advice!
It's one of those things we never fully realize...but it's true. We are never just anything. Ever!!!
