"In our modern world, everybody is working online. No matter what industry you want to go into, there are certain core skills that employers want you to have. At ENTITY Academy I had the chance to learn those skills through mentorship and now feel better equipped to join the competitive job market. Many of the speakers at ENTITY Academy stressed the idea of not being embarrassed to put yourself out there. You have more to gain than to lose. Worst case scenario, you just get a no."

"ENTITY Academy showed me a clear-cut example of "if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." I was excited for every workday to come and looked forward to the challenges and assignments I was presented with. Everything from the working environment to the engaging speakers showed me that the office does not need to be a dreaded place if you do work you truly love.I learned so much here and have so much to take with me that will make me such an asset in the professional world. Learning opportunities are not limited to a classroom and I am so grateful that I learned as much as I did on this journey."

"ENTITY Academy mentorship has filled my network with successful actors, directors, writers, and more! Once I began to take advantage of the opportunities around me, I found myself making personal connections with people I'd normally never even have the chance to meet. Because I now have such incredible people in my network, I am even more motivated to stand out and show the world what I am capable of. I have been writing, acting and generating content left and right. I know I am going to leave here with a robust portfolio and a world of new knowledge. ENTITY Academy mentorship has rocked my world and my inbox. I now have incredible mentors in my network eager to help me succeed. I am thankful for the journey I have been on this summer."

"After just a week at ENTITY Academy I have learned more about the industry than I had in three years at Harvard. I now feel better equipped to pursue a career in entertainment as I have more clarity surrounding the various trajectories into the industry, how to conduct script coverage, and the fundamentals of networking. Access to mentors such as Patricia Arqutte (actress and activist) and Jessica Poter (TV Writer), and a tour of the renowned United Talent Agency have been invaluable to my growth as an aspiring film director and screenwriter."

"I miss LA and ENTITY every day. I can’t even tell you how much the program has helped me since, even in my classes at school. Things like SEO and social media monetization are not lessons I would learn in a college classroom. Not only does ENTITY Academy focus on hard skills, there's also a strong emphasis on confidence building and learning how to present yourself in a professional setting. It's so essential, especially as a woman, to be able to feel like I can walk into a room and command the attention of every single person.

"Not only does ENTITY assign you an individual mentor, but the entire staff prides themselves on their willingness to help. They are approachable and encourage asking questions and seeking help when you need it. These amazing women come from all walks of life but their mission is similar in helping other women succeed. The ENTITY network is made up of CEOs, authors, humanitarians and journalists just to name a few. They each carry their unique stories with them and offer unique perspective and insight into being a woman in the workforce. However, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the network that forms from the mentees within the mentorship. The possibilities are endless in a room full of women on a mission.

I built my resume, I reflected on my past achievements and my future goals, and I listened to success stories. The speaker series was a huge confidence booster for me because I was able to meet so many women who were successful in the past.

The content of this complicated, overwhelming, and packed schedule is incredibly relevant, intensive, and priceless. There is absolutely nothing better than a program that gives you real practice.

"Four weeks have flown by incredibly fast. The ENTITY Academy Writer's Collective not only led me to meet successful people in the field I wanted to pursue but it taught me so much more. I've made new friends, new connections and it has sparked new ideas in my mind. It taught me skills I didn't even know I needed.

 

I now work at Purlisse and it’s such an awesome environment to work in. Because it’s a small company, you’re very connected with the people around you. Plus, Jennifer Yen always tells us that being part of Purlisse means being part of a team that is dedicated to growing together.

 

Being promoted as a Marketing/Communications Coordinator is a step closer to my career goals, and I’m thankful that ENTITY taught me to work really hard. One thing that really stuck with me during my time at ENTITY Academy is when Jennifer Schwab said that the Executive Assistant role is one of the best ways to break into an industry. She was right. I’m really glad I took the assistant position because Purlisse is teaching me new skills that will benefit my career for years to come.

After only a four-week mentorship program, I acquired knowledge at ENTITY Academy that will prepare me for future careers, as well as confidence that will help get my foot in the door at various companies. My time at ENTITY has taught me that it's not about quantity, but quality. Although this was only four weeks long, I gathered a long list of skills to apply in several job applications and settings.

"I was an ENTITY mentee last summer and since then, I find myself using many skills I learned throughout the two months at the office. Besides learning the hard skills that have put me ahead of my peers, the academy built my confidence and gave me the motivation to succeed in the professional world. Hearing personal experiences from Sarah Zapp and Shelley Zalis made me feel empowered and ready to take on life’s next challenge. Since July, I have actively kept in contact with Angelica, who has been the best mentor for me during my senior year.

"Honestly, my biggest gain at ENTITY was having Jennifer as a mentor. Throughout the rest of USC business school, I bounced a lot of ideas off her. This was especially true when it came to choosing my first post-business school job. If it wasn’t for her, I don’t think I would have taken Bain & Company. I didn’t really like the idea of having to move away from LA again; however, she helped me put things in long-term perspective, rather than pursuing instant gratification.

Heather L.

To future ENTITY graduates,

 

I have had the pleasure of working for ENTITY’s founder, Jennifer Schwab, for four years in a number of roles within her portfolio of businesses. During this time, she took me under her wing and we developed a close, sister-like bond which fostered my most important mentor relationship. Her gracious efforts acted as a pilot program which would later develop into ENTITY's mentorship academy. Only a short few years after my first job with Jennifer, I landed the role of COO for a multi-million dollar fashion brand – with her to thank. To date, the education, support, and personal and career development I was provided by working with Jennifer has proven to be one of the most important aspects to my success. 

 

Jennifer's resume is no doubt impressive and indicative of the caliber of C-Suite business women and industry leaders she is able to attract to participate in the program. Many times, I stood awe-struck with the weight of influence she was able to bring together in one room. She is unflinching in her level of commitment, presence and dedication to doing her part to support the vision of ENTITY. She is a true master of many trades, from her writing and design skills to her technical and business prowess. She is emotionally intelligent and knows how to work with a range of different types of mentees. She believes in a higher standard of work performance and knows how to lead a group to excellence. In our time together, Jennifer has not only been highly skilled in her business pursuits, but an absolute joy to spend time with. Her energy is captivating and her magnetism and charisma inspire those around her. Her lust for life and adventure is infectious and is matched by her business sense, always leading by example.

 

Over the last few years, I observed ENTITY build and lead a modern approach to women’s mentorship, provide high-level support to an impressive roster of participants and grow into a leading program for the development of the Renaissance woman. Having the recent opportunity to meet a new round of mentorship academy graduates has capped an incredible ten-year journey for me – from an ambitious young environmentalist to a coming-of-age businesswoman who has landed key positions with several leading social entrepreneurship ventures through the support of this program. Being able to support these milestones with on-the-ground personal and career development gave me the tools I needed to vault to a leading position in my field. After having watched this program produce several other women I admire and now have close relationships with, I can say with confidence that obtaining a coveted spot in this mentorship program positions each young woman to greatness.

 

As the newest generation to enter the workforce, we crave both a learning and working environment that supports the range of our character – one that is cause-oriented, satisfies a variety of different interests, allows us to dive deep into our passions and uncover new ones, refines the skill sets to support them, strengthens our social networks and elevates our lifestyle – personally, professionally, financially. ENTITY’s mentorship program does just that.

 

Now, as I work to promote gender equality in the workplace, I am ushering forth with a sense of knowing that all is still possible in this ever-changing world if you want it – and work for it. I have a strong belief in the future and all that I’ll make of it having the continued support of Jennifer Schwab and ENTITY.

ENTITY MENTEE 2017

Entity Testimonial

Bria O.

"ENTITY Academy is one of a kind. There aren't many internships that provide college students and new graduates the opportunity to learn a powerful combination of skills in just one program. I'm extremely grateful for the chance to have been a mentee. As a black woman barely getting her almost post-grad life together, I feel so much more prepared for what's to come, no matter what the future looks like."

 

(B.A. in Communication / Winter 2018, California State University, Dominguez Hills)

 

ENTITY MENTEE 2018

Emily D.

"I'm leaving the ENTITY Academy with various valuable takeaways, but the supportive community we've created is, by far, the one I cherish most.

 

"I've learned more from my fellow mentees than I could ever learn from a book or class. The resilience and perseverance I witnessed from my peers are absolutely astounding. I'm so inspired by their ability to find humor, joy and love in the hardest of situations."

 

(M.A. in Communication / Spring 2019, California State University, Northridge)

 

ENTITY MENTEE 2018

Elena E.

"ENTITY taught me to pursue my passions. If you have enough drive and love for something, you can succeed. You shouldn't have to settle for something you're not crazy about."

 

(B.A. in Literature / Spring 2018, Azusa Pacific University) 

 

ENTITY MENTEE 2017

Entity Testimonial

Ellena K.

"When I first started my internship with ENTITY more than a year ago, I was taking the biggest risk of my life. Fresh out of college, I was floundering, not knowing what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go. Everything changed when I started at ENTITY. I didn’t know anyone there. I didn’t know how a magazine worked. But as part of the inaugural editorial team, I knew I was part of something special. 

 

"After progressing through the internship and into a full-time job at ENTITY, I got the chance to write, to edit and to coordinate social media. Just as importantly, I met a group of immensely talented and hard-working women, some of whom would become my closest friends.

 

"When the office centralized in Los Angeles, I moved on. And though my new job was different in many ways, the skills I’d learned from over a year of working at ENTITY became essential to my success. I quickly realized that the tools I’d picked up and polished were indispensable to my new career.

 

"The time I spent at ENTITY was defining for me. I met amazing people, learned valuable skills and launched a career that I love. For those reasons, I will always be thankful that I stumbled upon that internship application more than a year ago."

 

(B.A. in Literature and Writing / Spring 2016, California State University, San Marcos)

 

ENTITY MENTEE 2016

Samantha L.

"If you would have asked me if I could write 11 articles in one day, my mouth probably would have dropped open and said 'No way.' ENTITY pushed me and now I am capable of so much more than I expected of myself.  Being able to work on a vast amount of material  has educated me on topics I wasn't familiar with and has ultimately bettered me as a person."

 

(B.A. in Communication and Media Studies / Spring 2017, Pace University)

 

ENTITY MENTEE 2016

Justine M.

"Wherever I end up after this phase of my career and life, I know I'll be prepared. Even if I head into another field with little experience, I've learned that it's ok to not know what you're doing at first. Figuring out how to do the best job you can do at work is just as satisfying as actually doing a good job. I feel like wherever I end up, I'll always look back on my time at ENTITY and say, 'I can handle this.'" 

 

(B.A. in Creative Writing and Music / Spring 2016, University of Redlands)

 

ENTITY MENTEE 2016

"At ENTITY, I was not only valued for writing but as a mentor who was also being mentored by the other ranks of ENTITY. Every woman is helping each other no matter their status within the company."

ENTITY MENTEE 2016

Hillary L.

"ENTITY provided a space for us to grow and develop as writers as well as women and achievers. Not only did this experience push us, it also led us on a journey that will shape and change who we are as women of the world. It embraced our individuality and cultivated a sense of purpose and belonging for us in an industry that can be difficult to break into. It celebrated us, championed us, challenged us and called us into an experience far more valuable than any dollar amount or college unit measurement.

 

"ENTITY taught me so much about what it means to be a good writer, what it means to find integrity and purpose in the everyday and how knowing yourself is one of the strongest career moves you can make as a woman."

 

(B.A. in English Language and Literature / Spring 2015, Point Loma Nazarene University)

 

ENTITY MENTEE 2016

Josephine D.

"At ENTITY, I was trained to strategically think about your key audience. Sometimes, businesses think they want to sell to everyone on the planet, but segmentation and smart targeting is really the way to go."

Carmen C.

"ENTITY's mentorship program gave me hands-on journalism experience. I learned how to find common ground with people I didn't know so I could have a conversation and ask questions to get important information."

ENTITY MENTEE 2016

Sara B.

"ENTITY was a chance to dip my digital pen into the Internet world to see if I have what it takes to make it in the age of half-alive journalism. After being a part of this mentorship program, I feel ready to make my dent in the world. As I transition into the real world, I feel the strength in my fingertips as I type job resumes, cover letters and sample submissions. I feel that strength spill over blank paper – or word documents – to materialize into something magical.

 

"I may be leaving ENTITY, but I’m taking this strength wherever I go. Because in or out of this magazine's office space, I will always be one of the #WomenThatDo."  

 

(B.A. in Communication and Media Studies / Spring 2016, University of San Diego)

ENTITY MENTEE 2018

Teresa S.

"As mentees, we had the amazing opportunity to work with ENTITY’s internal design team as well as with Adobe and other design industry leaders. These lessons taught us the basics of Adobe Creative Suite programs. I learned something new when Adobe representative Demian Borba spoke to us and showed us Adobe XD. I gained a working knowledge of ENTITY’s brand and design aesthetic. And as I went through ENTITY Academy’s design week, I gained something more than I expected: confidence."

ENTITY MENTEE 2018

Alexandria F.

"ENTITY promised that by the end of the summer, I’d be a better writer. I took their word for it.

 

"Now, several weeks later, I’ve noticed that although I’ve certainly grown as a writer, I’ve built other core skills as well. Not only has my writing improved, I’ve also become more marketable in a competitive job market. Thanks to my experience, I can now confidently apply for editorial jobs because ENTITY has created a multi-functional, journalistic boss."

 

(B.A. in Psychology / Spring 2021, Howard University)

 

ENTITY MENTEE 2018

Kaitlyn S.

"I have a midlife crisis every other week – just ask my family. It’s no secret the future is scary. I used to anxiously scroll through LinkedIn, dreading the thought of having to prove my abilities to a future employer. But ENTITY Academy changed that. They constantly tell you that you are marketable and that they’re giving you the skills you need."

 

(B.A. English and Writing / Spring 2019, Denison University)

 

ENTITY MENTEE 2018

Kelsee M.

"I absolutely loved the freedom and independence ENTITY Academy offered me. Not once did I feel like my voice or actions were being restricted. I always felt empowered to be my true self and that made me want to come to work every day. Plus, I don't know of any job that gives employees a day to work from the pool of a luxury apartment complex or invites them to a party where they can network as interns. ENTITY Academy was everything I dreamed of and more." 

 

(M.A. in Journalism and Broadcasting / Winter 2018, Regent University)

 

ENTITY MENTEE 2018

Nasira P.

"Coming into a new environment with peers who may have more experience than you is definitely intimidating. However, the other mentees in the program were very friendly and we opened up to each other quickly. We formed strong bonds and motivated each other regularly. That’s the kind of environment ENTITY Academy fosters."

ENTITY MENTEE 2018

"Editing for ENTITY Academy's session two benefited me as much – if not more – than my first several weeks with the company. I am so grateful for the multiple opportunities the CEO Jennifer has given me to grow. 

 

"Even though getting hired as an editor was definitely a learning process, I absolutely loved it. With each article, I learned something new about the world and the mentees. Not only have I honed a new writing skill, but I can also see editing as a possible future career.

 

"I can't thank ENTITY and Jennifer enough for such an amazing summer. I developed exponentially as a professional and a writer, and I'm endlessly grateful."

“One of my greatest accomplishments is completing the 2018 ENTITY Academy. The first few days, I felt overwhelmed, but by the end of it, it was the best experience of my life. I really miss everyone at ENTITY and I miss being in such a warm environment.

 

“In several short weeks, I gained confidence, mentors and friends who have changed my life for the better. I was also able to learn so many skills that are vital in today’s workforce. ENTITY Academy made me who I am today.”
