As a 22 year-old college student constantly surrounded by the YAYA® market, Leslie Franklin has insight to the motivation, influences, and trends of the YAYAs. She is “100% YAYA and proud.” While some of us at Mojo Ad may tend to be a bit indecisive, Leslie says she has found the best decision making method—put your options in a hat, and draw. If you’re not totally happy with it, then keep drawing until you get the right one. Apparently, it works every time. When Leslie’s not busy helping us make up our minds, you may find her doodling bubble letters in her notebook. She also loves to cook, but loves to eat what she cooks even more. Some chef specialties? Baked Brie and her grandfather’s authentic Italian spaghetti and meatball recipe. In addition, she has been honored on the Dean’s List, and has interned in PR at Nicholson Kovac and at RBI Promotions in London. Leslie’s still unsure about what she will do after graduating in May, but she hopes to have a fantastic job in her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri, or in Chicago or New York. Whatever she pursues, she hopes to be happy, and do something meaningful. Like she always says, "People will forget what you have said, they will forget what you did, but they will never forget the way you make them feel."
