✍️ The Forever Freelancer with Author Satta Sarmah Hightower

What it takes to build a 7-figure freelancing career and the importance of community.

Satta Sarmah Hightower is a journalist-turned-content marketer who has been a full-time freelancer since 2014, when a second layoff pushed her into self-employment by accident. Through her consultancy, Talented Tenth Media, she’s spent more than a decade writing and building content for brands like Adobe, Microsoft, Google, Morgan Stanley, and Capital One — after starting out as a reporter for the Orlando Sentinel and as a reporter and editor at AOL’s local news network. She’s the author of The Forever Freelancer: How to Build a Thriving Solo Creative Business — and Unlock Family and Financial Freedom, and she writes the Substack of the same name, about the intersection of millennial motherhood, ambition, and creative entrepreneurship.
