Scary, maybe, but for those who know Aurora James (like her friend AOC), hardly surprising. She’s always been a risk-taker.
“Sometimes your best mode of transportation is a leap of faith. Everyone is like, ‘Well, how could you have launched your business with only $3,500?’ Well, I only had $3,500, so what else was I to do?,” she asked, rhetorically. “And sure, I could have gone and taken a job working for another designer, but that wasn’t what was going to give me purpose in my life. I only have one life, unfortunately, and I really feel like it would be inappropriate to squander it doing something that didn’t give me a sense of purpose.”
