Entertainment to Commerce: Erica Hardison's Journalism Evolution

As a journalist, your career path can take unexpected turns. For Erica Hardison, her journey from entertainment and culture writing to commerce journalism is a testament to the evolving nature of the industry. I recently had the chance to chat with Erica about her career, what it means to be a Commerce Writer, and the nuances of working in the media.

Reflecting on her shift from entertainment journalism, Erica notes that while entertainment writing offers creativity, it often comes with inconsistent pay. In contrast, commerce writing provides more stable income, particularly with larger publications. This consistency has been crucial in her career, especially with the demands of motherhood.

What I admire most about Erica is her ability to adapt to an ever-changing industry while staying true to her passion for storytelling and advocating for representation. I had the opportunity to sit down with Erica to dive deeper into her journey, the insights she’s gained in commerce writing, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
