Former WNBA Player Chloe Jackson Finds Her Purpose As A Personal Stylist
In the latest episode of the podcast, fashion and basketball collide as the stylish Chloe Jackson joins former basketball players, Deonte Holden and Tykera Carter, to talk about her journey in basketball and her new career in fashion. The trio tackles Law #9: Find Your Purpose Outside of Your Sport, and Chloe's story is a shining example of doing just that.
The episode starts with a football player challenging Chloe's basketball skills, but Tykera steps in to steer the conversation back to the topic at hand. Chloe reminisces about meeting Deonte and Tykera in high school, and Tykera points out that fashion has always been a part of Chloe's life.
As a collegiate student athlete, Chloe transferred to three different schools before finding her stride at Baylor. She played for the Chicago Sky in the WNBA but was released due to an injury. That's when she made the decision to focus on fashion, and it paid off. Chloe's styling skills are impressive, and she has worked with A-list celebrities like Dwayne Wade, Quinn Cook, and Maria Taylor.
Chloe's parents have been her support system throughout her journey, and Deonte notes that having the right people in your corner is crucial for realizing your dreams outside of the game. He emphasizes the importance of having a backup plan, not because you don't believe in yourself, but because the ball does eventually stop dribbling.
Chloe breaks down the difference between fashion and style, and as a stylist, her goal is to bring out someone's personality and make them more confident in what they're wearing. She takes the listener through a day in the life of a celebrity personal stylist, and it's clear that it's a busy and demanding job.
Chloe's ending advice is to stay true to your journey and believe in your talent. As she says, "when you're living in your purpose, things just fall into place." Tykera and Deonte agree, and it's clear that Chloe is a testament to Law #9: Find Your Purpose Outside of Your Sport.
