Career Quote by Lolly Adefope
“When I'm in Portland, I meet people who are hairdressers, they have a wonderful life, they go on hikes and do loads of things. Their career is just the thing they do to pay the bills. They enjoy it, but it's not this huge, continuous journey of trying to make it. And I'm attracted to that lifestyle, of just having a nice life.”
